Winston Salem baby Baptism
I was asked by one of my sweet clients to photograph their baby boy getting baptized at their catholic church in Winston Salem. Of course I said yes! I have photographed many small events like this one, but never a baby baptism in Winston Salem. The catholic church itself was stunning, and the fun part was the fact it was Valentines day morning. What better way to celebrate love than dedicating a child to the Lord? Inquire here for your family event.

What to do for skin dryness in a newborn
Have you ever heard the term "smooth as a babies butt?" Yeah me too, and I feel like I was LIED to. My children came out with perfect skin for maybe 2 weeks and then the newborn skin dryness arrived.
