I love waiting to see how little ones will react to having their head's doused in water! Vesper and Violet were good as gold… in fact Violet managed to sleep through it and woke up happily in time for the party!
I met Vesper and her family when Libby was pregnant with Violet, you may remember my blog post from the shoot in May, so it was a honour to be asked to photograph their Christening and to meet Violet for the first time. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day, the service was lovely and the party afterwards in the church hall was lots of fun. I've never seen such a seamless operation, all hands on deck to transform the hall into a pretty party venue, with bunting and toys for the little ones, even a bouncy castle! And a generous spread of yummy food.
I love to quietly document family and friends interacting with each other and on occasions like this it's good to get those group shots. Libby wasn't too worried about having the service photographed and the priest asked me to be discreet, but I love the photos where I am peeping in watching the christening, just like a family member, standing by supporting the girls.
What a privilege it is to work with such lovely families.
