Christian and Gracie were baptized in the river by our beloved Pastor Mark the other week. It was a special night. We opted for just family, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents, so it was private and special. Mitch, Mitchell, Matthew, and Ben went into the water with the kids too. Mitchell and Matthew because their daddy told them it was a symbol that as older brothers, they are also caretakers of their younger siblings. Ben, our cousin, because he's the young pastor of our family :) I was trying to watch..take photos..and take some video, so my photos aren't the best, but I love them.

What a special moment for your family! I think making more private symbolizes a personal relationship with God and I love that! Congratulations Christian and Gracie!
Thank you for visiting my blog and the sweet comment. The camera I used was a Nikon D90 (my husband's) but he is researching a smaller camera for me that will take sharp pictures, The color was done with editing the brightness and contrast.
Awesome! I was just explaining to my 3 year old yesterday about baptism. I hope I didn't mess it up too much ;) She needs to see one as well to get the idea. I love your photos and they remind me of my own baptism 7 years ago this October.
thanks for sharing!
Congratulations!!!! Baptism is so sacred and beautiful!
