There are so many things I love about my job – the daily creativity, becoming immersed in a new story every day, that moment just as a bride and groom are announced man and wife, and BABIES!!! One of the real treats of my life is getting to photograph babies in their every stage and today I get to share with you little Sophia’s baptism at The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Winston-Salem, NC. I am a sucker for the ornate especially when steeped in ceremony and surrounded by Byzantine art so this beautiful Greek ceremony was photographic perfection for me.
The sense of community was palpable throughout the ceremony but never more so than when the women in Sophia’s life prepared her for each stage of her baptism at the alter.
