Just North of downtown Tampa, surrounded by the beauty of faith and family, I recently had the honor of photographing a truly special event - Lucas' baptism at St. Paul Catholic Church on Dale Mabry. This sacred ceremony marked not only a significant milestone in Lucas' spiritual journey but also provided a unique opportunity to capture moments of pure joy, love, and devotion.  Parents.  Grandparents and his big sister Thérèse were in attendance.

The church's grandeur, adorned with intricate stained glass and echoing with hymns, provided the perfect backdrop for this momentous occasion. The sacredness of the setting added a profound dimension to the entire photography experience.

Two other little ones were also being Baptized on this great day adding another element of joy and love from otherwise complete strangers.

After the service we talked about a family portrait session on Sand Key Beach.  Their favorite and mine for family beach portraits.  Can't wait.
