Welcome to our blog! We are missionaries to Spain who use photography to be a blessing to other missionaries and pastors. Since then, God has truly blessed our hobby and we are enjoying taking pictures even more! Feel free to comment! We love hearing about people and sharing experiences on photography, missions, and God!

Belly progress!

Here are a few pics we took last saturday! This is at 21 weeks! I can't believe my belly is growing so much! We can now see our little baby kick! And his daddy can feel him too! It is so awesome! 

Yesterday was Nate's birthday! We had a great day full of little treats! Since early in the morning we made a big breakfast (chocolate crepes with blueberries and blackberries), I gave him his presents and we spent all evening together! We had a great time! And for those that know me well: no, I did not wait till monday to give him all his presents, lol I had to buy him a few so I could give him a couple in advance :) I'm horrible! But his first one was so special that I ended up giving it to him on saturday! He loved it though and has been using it since then! I'll try to post some pictures!!!!

It's super late, and I have to go to bed before I get too hungry and cranky! Just wanted to give you a little update of God's blessings!

Have a great day!

Senior: Damaris

A few of my favorites from Damaris' pictures. I met Damaris in Spain when she was 2. Then I didn't see her for 10 years! And you can imagine the impression on me when I saw her! So grown up! She is a beautiful Spaniard and she and her family moved to Huntsville a couple of years ago. I actually teach her keyboarding class in High School! the world is smaller than what we think!!! lol So it was fun to have this photo session with her! I can't wait to see what God is going to do in her life as she graduates and starts her college life!

Wohoooo! Christmas coming soon, and a huge special coming too!

My favorite time of the year is getting closer! I'm really enjoying the fall and I love all the changes that come with it (not the cold..) I love the mood, the colors, the new clothes (different for me this year, since I had to buy a new wardrobe to fit my baby belly). But even though I'm thoroughly enjoying this season, I still can't wait till Christmas. Everything is just different at Christmas! I love Christmas songs, I love seeing lights, ornaments, Christmas trees, etc. every where I go. So I truly can't wait till November when all this gets started! And when December gets here, it is time (and a good) excuse to bake cookies, peppermint brownies, make trips to Starbucks to enjoy some white chocolate peppermint lattes, cuddle with my hubby on the couch and watch Christmas movies, etc... Yessss, I'm getting mushy! But these Christmas are going to be different: we have our little one with us, still in my belly, but he's a part of us! And it's going to be our first Christmas at home, just us, being able to decorate the house and be homey and just enjoy the season with no rush! I will miss spending this time with my family in Spain, but I know they will be coming soon to meet our baby boy!


I am going to start working soon on the Christmas cards for this year!!!!! Actually, I have a lot of ideas I want to put into practice! So you can go ahead and start planning your Christmas pictures and cards from NOW!!!! And we want to be a blessing to you with a special package for a limited time!

A beautiful baby girl!

My good friend Fatima, who lives about 4 hours away from us, had a beautiful baby girl a month ago! Yesterday we were able to go visit them and we had a great time! We just wished we could have stayed longer! But we were able to take some pictures for them and these are a few that I really liked!

Enjoy them!
Have a great day!

Guess what we found out!!!!

We had our ultrasound and found out that our precious little baby is a baby boy!!!!! We are thrilled!!!!! We were able to check everything and see that he is doing great! Praise God for that! Everything looked very good! Our baby was really kicking that little machine the lady was using for the ultrasound, and kept putting his little hands on his face. So precious! I can't wait to see his face and hold him! After the ultrasound, we immediately called our family and went to do our baby registry! We were waiting for this news to start it all! And then celebrated it with a white chocolate molten cake with extra hot fudge on top :) not so good for my pregnancy diet, but hey! it was a celebration right? plus, my baby wanted it!
Thank you for all your prayers and for caring for us and our baby! We truly appreciate it! :)
We hope you have a wonderful day!

I can't believe I've been so bad again at blogging! Not even personal updates! My bad!!!! But we just wanted to let you know that everything is great and busy! :)
We are focusing a lot on keeping our baby happy! Lots of talking to him/her, some resting, healthy feeding, and some spoiling (ok, maybe a lot) here and there! Nate just takes such good care of me! Yesterday I had one of the worst headaches and he showed up at my office with a pumpkin spice late (a little one to not add too much caffeine) and a love note! He makes my days and makes every day of my pregnancy better. I just have to open my mouth and whatever I need, he will bring it to me right away! I don't deserve it! I'm loving being pregnant, but I have to admit that I get a lot of pains here and there... but just to feel my little one kicking and having the hiccups makes it all better! And knowing that in 4 and half months I'll see his/her little face!!! awwwwwwww, I can't wait to hold my little baby! In a week we'll find out the gender! We really can't wait. This week is going to seem sooooo loooooong! We will keep you updated! Ok, sorry about my mushiness....
And about photography: we still have pictures to post, and they will be coming soon! Also more photo shoots coming up! With this good weather and cloudy skies pictures are perfect! You might want to take advantage of it!!!!!
Have a wonderful day! Isn't the fall beautiful??????
