Christening Photos in Broadford, Co Clare

Feb 27

A perfect princess, her adorable brother, and a house full of people who love them both.

Christening photography is a perfect way to get those family photos that you’ve been planning on taking for ages.

But there is no need to stand around for ages, posing and smiling at the camera. The documentary approach means that yes, you get a few of those classic, traditional family photos in the church building, after the mass, but it also means you get so much more. You get the details, the moments, the connections, the interactions, the ability to go back and re-live this day with the people you love. How amazing is that!?

Most people want natural and relaxed photos of people enjoying themselves, having fun, being themselves. And that’s totally possible.

I’ll tell you the secret.

It’s Easy.

Just feed them.

Christening Photos during Mass

There are so many special parts of the christening mass, from the readings to the sprinkle of water, the oil and the candle and the promises. Most priests are happy to have photos taken during mass, they know that having a visual reminder of the christening is important.

Family Photos in the Church

After the mass is a good time for photos of the baby with her family, godparents, grandparents, and anyone else who wants a special picture together.

But it’s really lovely to get candid pictures during this time too

The Celebration

Equally as special as the christening mass itself, is the time spent after with family and friends. The baby might need to go for a nap, or might be the life of the party, but once she’s home, it is so much easier to get those sweet, natural, lovely photos of her in her christening dress, or tucked up in her cot, or being held by her grandparents, after all - this is her day, and she is the star of the show.
