Kate’s baptism

Precious Kate was baptized on Easter Sunday– talk about a great day to be baptized and bringing newness into your life!  I took a few photos of the family post-service, and then met Kate and her mama today to do some actual portraits of Kate in her dress.  Kate was just so perfect today and during her baptism– she is one happy baby!  Now let me TELL you about that dress.  Kate’s maternal grandmother made it for her granddaughters to wear, so Kate’s cousin wore it a couple years ago for her own baptism.   I honestly don’t have the slightest clue how you even begin to go about making something that exquisite.  We actually were stopped by a few people today who couldn’t resist seeing the dress up close.

When she wasn’t trying to stick her fingers in her mouth today, Kate was grinning because her mama would start singing “You are My Sunshine.”  (That’s a favorite at my house, too.)  So, so sweet.  Love this family.

Ok, this is some serious posing, don’t you think??
