Check out my adorable nephew Ryder’s baptism photos! Ryder recently turned 8 and was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His mom really wanted photos to display at his baptism and didn’t think I’d have time so figured it just wouldn’t happen. Well, I’m all about pictures and so my mom, Ryder and I decided to surprise his mom and take his photos at the Calgary LDS Temple while she was at work. Grandma had him looking super sharp in his blazer, and he rocked his photos. Ryder is such a little stud and did awesome despite the bitter cold. The best part was later in the day my sister called me in tears (happy tears) when she saw the gallery. I love when surprises make people happy like that!! And I love being able to document important memories for my family and for others.
8 Year Old Baptism Portrait Session
Spring in Calgary came early and I couldn’t be happier!! It was the perfect time for Georgia’s baptism portrait session as she is about to turn 8, so we went down to Edworthy Park while the blossoms were out. We couldn’t have picked a better day either as the snow hit a few days later! I am so excited for Georgia and her decision to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Congrats Georgia!!
Doesn’t she look darling in her baptism dress?! Georgia is a kind and sweet girl, and full of spunk. Quick story… Georgia and my son, Will, have been buddies since they were itty bitty and they play like brother and sister. We’ve always taught Will to treat girls with kindness and respect. Well, a few years ago while Will and Georgia are playing I get a text from Georgia’s mom with a video of the two of them. What it looks like to me is a video of Will attacking Georgia! I was mortified and responded quickly with apologies and “there will be consequences” and “I’ll be having a talk with him” to which she replied “don’t worry. Georgia round house kicked him!! She’s totally holding her own and loving it!” haha. Thankfully the wrestling matches between the two have come to an end, but I hope they stay buddies forever!
Here are a few from Georgia’s baptism portrait session. Enjoy!
Mother’s Day was just around the corner from our session date so we thought it would be nice to add mom to the photos. Everyone should have photos with their mom! Such beautiful ladies. Can you believe this mama has FOUR girls!
OK, last but not least I had to throw these outtakes in from our little baptism portrait session. Georgia is so full of spunk and personality! I seriously love this kid!!
