A baptism in Istanbul

When Jeanne's parents got in touch with me to photograph her baptism, I was very happy they trust me to catch that symbolic moment for their little girl and family. 
I did already photograph her as a newborn and her big brother & her grand-parents during a family session, so it was very nice to work with this lovely family again. 

The baptism took place at the French church Saint-Louis-des-Français on Easter Sunday. A special day and a special place indeed. It was very touching to attend and capture this faithful ceremony, as it was fun to photograph the brunch afterwards. 

Because discretion is so important during this kind of event, I use the quiet mode for the shutter-release button, wear sneakers and walk carefully. When I want to catch details, smiles, gazes, I'm using the zoom of my 24-70 lens, and of course the larger angle to catch the global ambiance. I'm trying to be invisible, or at least forgotten.
