I arrived early and took few photos while family was preparing for the day. I’ve started with a few photos of Herkus and then started pictures of some older children. I especially like the shots while they were getting ready to celebrate.
We all went to Pal. Church of Archibishop Jurgis Matulaitis, which was a cosy and magnificent building with such a beautiful soft light. I love making photography in the churches – the textures and light create really impressive conditions for photographing children and families.
I love photographing blessings and christenings – there is something about the combination of such a wonderful, yet serious, occasion.
This shot was at the end of the ceremony when Linas lifted boy Herkus into the air in “Lion King” style, where everyone had seams. All family members were included in the service to make it a special occasion for everyone.
We then headed to a nearby park where it was a good place and perfect mood to take pictures of the family.
It was a perfect day and I enjoyed my photos. I hope you enjoy watching.
