There’s something so special about photographing an 8-year-old’s baptism. At this age, kids are full of excitement, innocence, and pure joy as they take this important step in their faith. Sweet Rowen was no exception! As a Davis County baptism photographer, I love documenting these beautiful milestones that families will cherish forever.
A Baptism Session Filled with Light
For Rowen’s session, we headed to the beautiful Layton Temple! It had snowed all day before, and while that might have made some people nervous, it actually created the most magical light! The fresh snow reflected the golden sunset, wrapping Rowen in a dreamy, glowing scene. She wore a lovely white dress, symbolizing purity and new beginnings, and her bright smile made every shot even sweeter.
Capturing the Details
Every baptism session is unique, and I love focusing on the little details that make it personal. Rowen brought along her scriptures, which we incorporated into a few portraits. Seeing her hold them close with so much love was so sweet. And of course, we had to capture some twirls in her dress—because what’s a special day without a little bit of fun?
Why I Love Baptism Photography
As a Davis County family photographer, I get to be part of so many incredible moments in a family’s journey. Baptism sessions are especially meaningful because they mark a spiritual milestone that families hold close to their hearts. It’s such an honor to provide families with images that celebrate their child’s faith and personality in a way they can treasure forever.
