After the baptism, the crowd headed over to the fabulous Viceroy Hotel on Brickel Avenue in Miami. What a cool spot! The party was held up on a rooftop patio area called the “Fireplace”. I think it’s safe to say everyone had a great time. I highly recommend the Viceroy! Very cool and unique architecture and style and the food was absolutely fabulous.

March 6, 2010 - 11:40 am - Kat! I so love your perspective. You are what I like to describe as a "moment hunter"... and man o man do you rock at capturing those moments. I love the shots of the munchkins getting their Caricatures done! (P.S. your PP rocks my socks.)
March 6, 2010 - 1:30 pm - Kat! Lovely work as always... Keep it up!
March 7, 2010 - 5:11 pm - What great capturing of such a sweet occasion. Fantastic!
March 7, 2010 - 10:28 pm - Love this set, absolutely beautiful work. I really love your black and white processing.

Matt & Rachael’s album is one of my favorites I’ve designed yet. As you can see, I love clean, minimalist layouts that really put the focus on the photos and telling the story of the day. I use this style of design because it’s important to me that the album and the design stand the test of time and become a treasured family heirloom for generations to come. My album company, Forbeyon produces beautiful albums that are the highest standard of quality, beauty and craftsmanship. I use them because I know that when the client receives their album they will be 150% satisfied. And there’s nothing more important to me than that.
Below is a sample album I had printed from Matt & Rachael’s wedding for the event coordinator, Jamie Lipman at The National Hotel in South Beach. She’s awesome, the hotel is rad. Enough said. Anyway, I chose the red leather with black spine embossing. The design is an exact copy of what Matt & Rachael got, but they went with a classic black leather and silver spine embossing. Of course their spine also said Matt & Rachael, not Kat Braman 
The size is 10×10, which is my base size, but there are a variety of other sizes available – including a new super cool one coming at the end of this month – scroll down for a sneak peek!
Forbeyon recently announced that they will be adding a 12.5 x 5 size sometime this month and I cannot wait to get a sample of it!
(Please note that this is not my image or my album.)
March 2, 2010 - 8:24 pm - Beautiful Kat.
March 4, 2010 - 8:40 am - the album looks yummy, Kat. I love clean and simple lines too for albums. Wish I could see it in the flesh! How far are you from Orlando anyway? If you are EVER in my neck of the woods, Please, PLeaSe, PleEASe come calling on me. I'd love to take you and your camera out on the town :)
March 4, 2010 - 3:16 pm - i love these kind of albums!! look great, the quality seems awesome! too bad i didn't find anything like this in the nethelands yet... maybe i'm not searching good enough, haha :)
Last weekend I had the pleasure of documenting the Baptism of a very special little girl at St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Miami. It was such an honor to be a part of this event that brought together family and friends for this ancient ritual. I love how tradition and modernity were woven together throughout the ceremony. After, they had a pretty rockin’ party at the gorgeous Viceroy Hotel on Brickel Avenue in Miami. But I couldn’t narrow these down and do this part of the story justice, so the party photos will be part of another blog post.
February 26, 2010 - 7:33 pm - l o v e. those first two are stunning.
February 26, 2010 - 7:43 pm - What a wonderful event. I love the photo of her staring straight at the camera with the hands full of water. They will treasure these photos forever!
February 26, 2010 - 7:53 pm - Amazing, Kat! Beautiful shots...all of them!
February 26, 2010 - 8:37 pm - my favorite is the one where she's looking STRAIGHT at you just before they sprinkle her. what a cool opportunity!
February 26, 2010 - 9:59 pm - Cute baby. Great photos. Outstanding set. Great job.
February 27, 2010 - 2:43 am - Beautiful shots Kat. Great job telling the story of every step of the process. You just reminded me I need to edit my cousin's baby's baptism from back in December!
February 27, 2010 - 8:49 am - gorgeous photo's!! love this... the first ones are so bright (the outside photo's), gotta love some blue sky :D the little girl looks adorable, they must be very happy with all these shots! :D
February 27, 2010 - 9:00 am - Fantastic work Kat! You capture people and moments beautifully. Well done!
February 27, 2010 - 3:30 pm - Kat! Again I am totally speechless! thank you so much for capturing the escence of such a special occasion!
February 27, 2010 - 6:28 pm - Wow ... what a great set! I love the one where the little girl is looking at you, and the preist hands are full of water! So awesome! Great post processing too!
February 27, 2010 - 8:14 pm - Great documentation of this milestone. I really dig the colors you got in the very first two images. You've also got some beautiful moments in there.
February 28, 2010 - 2:14 am - Simply beautiful work. Absolutely love these images.
February 28, 2010 - 12:49 pm - Great shots!
February 28, 2010 - 5:00 pm - Those first two shots are AMAZING! I love your PP and your prospective. Beautiful work! Big 'ol fan here!
February 28, 2010 - 7:56 pm - So cute! I'm surprised she didn't cry more, when my nephew was baptised he cried his little eyes out the entire time. Great job really capturing the excitement of it and you can really see the love between the whole family.
March 1, 2010 - 11:09 am - A beautiful collection of images. I forgot how much I love shooting baptisms. Very well done.
March 1, 2010 - 10:09 pm - These are gorgeous great job girlie!!!!
March 4, 2010 - 8:45 am - how cool is this job? Such an important ceremony for the family to have recorded. It was a great call hiring a pro for the event and not relying on the 'ol point & shoot.
