We recently had Bluebird Photography capture our daughter Eliza’s baptism and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Tina did such a beautiful job capturing all the special moments of the day, from the ceremony itself to the little in-between interactions with family and friends.

The candid shots were a real highlight. So many gorgeous, natural moments were captured without anyone feeling like they were being photographed, which made the photos feel incredibly genuine and relaxed.

The quality of the images is fantastic and we’re so grateful to now have these memories documented so beautifully. Highly recommend Bluebird Photography for any special occasion, super professional, easy to work with, and truly talented.

What I capture

Photographing small and large baptism and christening details, candles, flowers, little shoes which will only fit for a month.

I am blessed with a natural eye for details and unfolding stories. I love looking through my view finder and capturing something meaningful from your natural interactions. The reassuring glances, small gestures of care, your younger one clinging to your skirts, which might be annoying now, but may make you cry with happy tears when they are older.

You could say I am sentimental, and perhaps this is why I am attracted to Baptism and Christening photography. I value the religious occasion, as well as family bonds which are so lovely to capture, so you can cherish them later.

During the church ceremony I capture moments big and small, interesting angles, church details and the overall feeling of the baptism process and traditional ceremony. I am very respectful of the church service and the movements of the priest.

I pay special notice to Candid moments between the parents, grandparents and other loved ones. I love capturing pictures of the baby with their grandparents and godparents. These memories are priceless for when the baby becomes a child and later an adult. There is something very special about how grandparents look at their grandchildren, with awe.

The Importance of Baptism & Christening photography

A baptism is more than a ceremony, it’s a moment of faith, family and quiet meaning. Honoured to capture these beautiful christening moments for my clients, surrounded by love, tradition and the people who matter the most.

My Approach to Photographing Candid Christening and Baptism Moments

My approach to christening photography is natural and unobtrusive. I document the ceremony respectfully while also creating beautiful family portraits either before or after the service. The result is a timeless collection of images that reflect both the spiritual significance and the joy of the occasion.

Christening Photography Locations

I photograph baptisms and christenings across Sydney, including churches and venues in the Northern Beaches, Inner West, Upper and Lower North Shore, Chatswood and surrounding areas. Whether your celebration is intimate or large, I ensure every important moment is captured with care and attention.

Photos of christening guests at reception, candid as well as smiling group photos. Everyone seems to enjoy having their photos taken at such a happy occassion.

Cake Cutting and Family photos with the cake. Loving how inventive decorations have become, providing such great photography backgrounds.

Children Playing. Some of the events have entertainers for the kids. These provide fantastic opportunities to capture children interacting with each other and often running around. I have captured some great images of the little guests this way.

Often you won’t realise I am around capturing photos, call that my special talent. I am unobtrusive and respectful.
