Camryn Turned 8!

Camryn's baptism (August 6, 2010) was PERFECT. I could not have imagined it to go any better! The spirit was so strong during the entire program. The support and love from family and friends was tremendous, my fantastic husband baptized our little girl, my mom was here, my sister was here, we had an amazing photographer capture the most tender moments, and Camryn loved every minute of her big day. Camryn has a very tender heart and is easily able to have the spirit touch her. It was very apparent that she felt the spirit during her baptism ceremony. I hope that she never forgets the way she felt on her special day. Camryn has the raddest primary teacher that just happens to be an AMAZING photographer. We were luckily enough to have her primary teacher (Vanessa) take some gorgeous pictures of Camryn a few days before her birthday.




There were so, SO many great pictures to choose from. Camryn and Vanessa make a great team!

My sweet little girl was able to get baptized in the same exact dress that I was baptized in so long ago! It meant so much to Camryn to get to wear the same dress that I did.


This was the most incredible encounter that I have ever witnessed! The few minutes that Dave and Camryn spent talking just before her actual baptism and the long embrace they shared right after will be etched in my heart forever. I am grateful and extremely lucky to have these two wonderful people as part of my eternal family.

Families can be together FOREVER! It was a long crazy day, but Vanessa with her talented skills was still able to capture a family photo worth posting. She even got a smile out of little Bryleigh who was very worn out to say the least!
Camryn wanted "fancy" cupcakes that she designed herself and just water! Her request was simple, and the cupcakes were delicious!


It really was one of the BEST days of my life! I love you Camryn! You are such a joy to have in our family.

Ok, you've done it again, you're making me cry! Every time I see that photo of Dave and Camryn talking before her baptism, I just want to cry. That was one of the sweetest, most incredible moments. I will forever remember how I felt as I witnessed that. I think I even cried as it was happening! Thank you for letting me be a part of her baptism day. She's one special girl and the Zinkes just ADORE her!

Wow. I still can't tell you how sad I am I missed this day. I want to cry thinking about it. Vanessa did a fabulous job of capturing an unforgettable experience.
