Assignment # 3 - The Photo Story

In Christianity, baptism is the ritual act, with the use of water, by which one is admitted as a full member of the Christian Church. On Sunday April 19th, I had the opportunity to be the photographer for Olivia Miranda Clemente's baptism.

The godmother is dressing the child while entertaining her.


















Olivia taking a break before wearing her shoes.


















Pictures are being taken by the family members.














Godmother and father dressing Olivia.

















Mother and father ready to leave the house to baptize Olivia.














Notre-Dame-de-la-Defense church. Priest is a reading of a selection of bible passages and prayers.














The priest pouring water three times over Olivia’s forehead saying three times, Olivia, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."














Godparents are given the candle on behalf of their godchild. They light the candle from the large Easter candle. The Easter candle represents the resurrected life of Christ and by lighting their godchild's candle from this they are showing that they will guide their child to share in the life of the resurrection.














The priest preaching how extremely important the role of the parents is. Parents are not seen as owners of their child but as custodians whose role is to bring their child to happiness.


















Leaving the church – family members gathering to take pictures.
