Kaden's Perfect Day!

There are few days that actually qualify to be called "perfect"...

This was one of them for our family!

.

.

Kaden had a wonderful Baptism

surrounded by family and friends who love him

who came to show their love and support of his decision.

.

Here's a look at his darling invitations... I loved how they turned out!

He and his Daddy looked so handsome all dressed in white together!

What an awesome group of incredible guys!

And here's a peek at my latest "little project"...
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking around for a Baptism Book for him.

I couldn't find one I "loved" anywhere, so I decided to make one for him.

An afternoon Photo Session and a couple of sleepless weeks later... wah-lah!

.

It has been so fun to do and I hope it will be a treasured keepsake from his momentous day!

I am so grateful for everyone who helped and offered input!
Thanks to all the Grandmas and Grandpas who took time to send their kind words and testimonies for Kaden. And thanks to my friends who shared their ideas... I knew what I "wanted" to do and had my outline, rough draft and most of the photos done, but it was nice to have input before I finalized my layout and designs! So a special thanks to Shannon Taylor and Gretchen Knell, both friends who's Baptism Books I borrowed, and Heather Gibb, a fellow-photographer (who collaborated on Gretchen's book), who I borrowed a couple "shot ideas" from at the last minute! They were the perfect finishing touch! Thanks, Ladies! I loved your creativity and it sure helped to inspire mine!

Thanks so much to everyone who came to share this special day with Kaden and our family...

We are so proud of you Kaden!
You are an incredible young man... We love you and are so happy you made this great decision.
We loved sharing your "perfect" day with you!
