Recently, I had the honor of photographing the christening of a beautiful boy named Herkus at high Panemune St. Church of the Name of the Virgin Mary

Though the ceremony was brief, it was full of love, warmth, and heartfelt emotion. The intimate setting of the church, with its peaceful atmosphere, made the perfect backdrop for this special moment in Herkus’ life.

Dressed in his christening gown, Herkus was calm and sweet as his parents and godparents surrounded him, sharing smiles and blessings. The simplicity of the ceremony brought a sense of closeness and tradition, which made the day even more meaningful for the family. Every moment, from the soft prayers to the exchange of looks between loved ones, was filled with the kind of emotion that is a joy to capture through the lens.

After the ceremony, we moved outside for a spontaneous and fun photo session right in the parking lot next to the church hall.

Sometimes the best moments happen in the most unexpected places! The family gathered, and we embraced the natural setting, making the most of the sunlight and joyful energy. The candid shots in the park turned out to be full of life, as Herkus’ family laughed, hugged, and celebrated together.

This simple yet unforgettable day reminded me that it’s not always about the grand locations – it’s about the love and happiness shared in every moment. Herkus’ christening may have been short, but it was full of joy, and I was grateful to capture these beautiful memories for a family that clearly shares a deep bond.
