Payson Temple Baptism Pictures | Cosette | Whitney Beth Photography

Cosette turned 8 and has decided to be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Cozy wanted her baptism pictures to be taken at the Payson, Ut LDS temple since that’s the temple closest to her house. It was a marathon of a day between me getting down to Utah County, shooting these photos and then busting it the next location for Cozy’s family’s pictures that we were also taking that night. We had about 15 minutes to shoot and we were able to get some gorgeous photos in that time frame.

Cozy is the youngest in her family and I have now photographed every single one of them for their 8 year old – baptism pictures. Her oldest brother, Asher was first, and still probably one of my favorite interactions. (I’m also their aunt and I love getting some one on one time with them.) When I took Asher’s pictures we went to the base of the canyon by their home. He said very calmly and casually to me, “Aunt Whitney, are you just taking me up a mountain to murder me!?” When I told him no, he replied with, “That’s something a murderer would say..” and now the joke is every time I have taken one of his sibling’s baptism pictures I assure them I’m not going to murder them. haha.

I can’t believe how grown up Cozy is! She is so much fun to be around. I’m so happy we got to spend our time together twirling and getting stuck in rose bushes together. Happy Birthday Cosette!
