Baptisms are probably one of my favorite celebrations. Surrounded by family and friends, a little baby is welcomed officially into his/her Catholic faith. What a wonderful moment to witness!

On this special day, at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Downtown L.A., little Natalia had her turn. Her mom is my awesome friend, Grace, who I met through a retreat a few years ago. Though we don’t see each other that often, it’s always such a heartwarming time when we do meet, and I was more than honored she asked me to help document Natalia’s baptism.

She and her husband, Jorge, their older daughter, Olivia aka Livie and little Natalia are this wonderful, loving family and I feel so privileged to have helped keep this unique day a memorable one.
