Spectrum Photography endeavors to capture a wide variety of significant moments or events in a beautiful photojournalistic style. Whether it be couples, babies, family, weddings, or commissioned portraiture, we promise to capture those little connections that you and the people you love share. We enjoy the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make our children (and adults) who they are, so a photography session with us is not about sitting pretty and smiling at strangers.

Following the baptism, the little one is Chrismated (anointed) with oil to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Three locks are cut from the child's hair in the form of a cross. The child is then dressed and the baptismal candles are lit. Finally, the Godparents, priest, and a few chosen children walk with the baptized child around the baptismal font three times.
With the advice from the priest about where most of the "action" would be, I positioned my off-camera flash at a 45-degree angle from where my subjects would be standing. By doing this, I was able to freeze action, keep the "noise" down in the images, and maintain the vibrant in the colors. Had I not planned and communicated with the priest, we would not have captured the moments as well, and I would risk being in the way of the ceremony.

Communication is so important, especially for ceremonies! Great work.
