Baby Baptism at St. Dumitru Romanian Orthodox Church on the UWS

Not many New Yorkers likely know, but tucked into a little brownstone on West 89th Street is an ornate Romanian Orthodox Church called St. Dumitru.  One beautiful thing about being a photographer is that the job takes us to new and unexpected places, and this one was no exception.  ilir captured numerous memorable moments from this baby girl’s baptism as well as some portraits of her family, her godparents, her extended family, and the family friends.
