Baptism photography that feels like you were there.
Natural, documentary photos of your child’s christening — the tears, the laughter, the holy water and the people who love them. Based in Athens, photographing baptisms across Greece and worldwide.
One day. A thousand small moments worth keeping.
A baptism goes by in a blur. The baby who wouldn’t stop crying, the godmother’s nervous smile, grandma wiping a tear, the little cousin peeking over the font. These are the moments you’ll want to remember — and the ones you’re too busy to notice on the day.
I photograph baptisms the way they actually happen: quietly, without staging, staying close to the people and the rituals. You get honest, emotional and timeless images that tell the true story of your child’s day — so that one day, they can see it too.

Yes. Alongside church baptisms, I regularly photograph baptisms in the sea and in outdoor chapels across Greece, working with natural light.
