Christening at St. Anne’s Cathedral, Dublin

This is your day, darling darling boy.

Today your family gathers around you to bless you and promise to raise you well.

Today you will be kissed, and cuddled, and be the star - but that’s every day, isn’t it? Because you are so, so, so deeply loved, little one.

What I love best about special occasions like christenings, communions, birthdays, and anniversaries is that there is always so much going on!

From the flurry of getting ready and getting out the door to the actual ceremony or event and the fun that happens afterward.

There’s a reason why it’s a perfect time to get family photos. But people sometimes think that all they need are a few pictures in front of the church or in the back garden - and those are great! But what I love is all the rest of the day, and I believe that years from now, those are the photos that you will love the most too.
