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!

In Love: David and Hannah

Meet David and Hannah! As soon as we finished this photo shoot, I just couldn't wait to edit these pictures. I just knew they were going to be something I had been trying to obtain since we started this business. They are a classy and fun couple, and I love the touch they added to our images :) They really thought they weren't photogenic! Well, this proves the opposite! And I totally love these images!

We hope you enjoy them! ;)

This picture has to be explained! When David and Hannah started to get to know each other, David saw Hannah reading a book, walked toward her, and took the book away from her before she even saw him. It's something they remember very well and that had a meaning to them. So we decided to incorporate that experience in the photo shoot! This particular images is a part of a series!













"Daddy and me" special edition!

This saturday, we are going to be taking pictures of great families and kids for our "Daddy and Me" Special Edition! and we're truly excited! This week, we bought one of lenses that we had been wanting for so long! The 100mm 2.8 macro!!!! We have heard great things about this lens and we are looking forward to trying it at the next wedding for the ring shots. But we have also heard great things about this lens for portraits! So we can't wait to see the results!

And for those of you that are still interested in our Special Edition, we still have some slots available! So feel free to give us a call for additional information :)

And this is one of the new pictures we've been working on! You gotta love sun flares!

Have a wonderful day!

Sneak Peek: David and Hannah!!!!

What happens when you have an photo shoot, meet the couple, and it starts raining? PRAY and have faith that God will answer! and guess what? God stops the rain, gives you an amazing light, and blesses your photo session! That's exactly what happened this morning! Hannah traveled down to TN to meet us for their "in love" session. We stayed one more day in TN after the wedding to meet them too. We got to Market Square, and it starts pouring really bad!!!!! But we have an amazing God that never fails us and gave us a great couple to work with and a lot of opportunities for pictures!

Meet David and Hannah!!!! A fabulous couple! :)

"Daddy and me" special edition!



It is the time!!! We are offering a new special edition of mini sessions! And this time it's for Father's Day! Because we think that there is nothing as sweet as a picture of daddy with his child. Just look at this picture! It's actually one of my favorites! And I think it's so sweet! It's definitely a must picture for every family! But don't worry! Mommies can be a part of the session and we will also take individual portraits of your child (or children).

Many people have asked us how many pictures we can take on a mini-session, since you know... it's mini! But each mini-session lasts 25 minutes, which allow us a minimum of 5 poses with a variety of angles of each pose. So don't worry! You will have a good selection of images to choose from! :)

Here is the info!
- $35 session fee
- Unlimited photography during 25 minutes
- An online slideshow with the images from your session
- A 8x10 print of your favorite picture!

A cd with full resolution images may be purchased. We will also provide you with a complete price list of our products.

Date: May, 30 from 10 am to 5 pm

Feel free to contact us for additional information!

From two sisters to their mom: Happy Mother's Day!

Remember our Mother's Day contest? Erica was the winner and used her free mini session as a gift for her mother. I thought it was such an unique present! Something that will last for life and will be such a good memory 20 years from now! 

Erica and her sister Maddie met us on a saturday early in the morning and we just enjoyed so much taking these pictures! The whole family has a very good style and every time I see them in church I think: man, they have the cutest outfits here! So I knew they would look good! And I love how these pictures turned out! They both are very photogenic so it was really easy to work with them!

We hope their mom loves the pictures and we're sure she will because these girls look beautiful!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and specially to mine and Nate's!!!! We are so thankful for them!

Graduation!

These pictures were not taken professionally, sorry about that!


Here with Nate's twin sister who graduated too

Right before graduation! Nate is the biggest blessing I've received from the US ;)

Getting my diploma

Getting my International Language Navigators certificate. I'm officially an English as a second language teacher :) I know it sounds contradicting not being English my first language!



My great cousin Francisco! My first couple of years were so fun thanks to my cousins Francisco and Alberto! Then they left right after they hooked me up with Nate! and Nate made the rest  the best years of this journey! Alberto and Ashley are in Spain now as missionaries and Francisco and his wife Rebekah will be there soon too! I'm so proud of them! The 4 of them are great godly people and I know the Lord is going to bless them greatly!




And finally, after 4 years of hard work (honestly hard work because I'm a nerd..) I graduated!!!! wohooooooo!!!! What a great feeling!!!! As I have mentioned before, it was my dream since I was a little girl, to go to a foreign country, learn the language fluently, and go to college there. I made it! Well, I could have never accomplished anything without God. And the best part, God gave me the most wonderful person to be with during this journey and for the rest of my life :)
So you might be wondering what I majored in... Bachelor in Secondary Education with a business major. I know, nothing to do with photography...but it's what the Lord guided me to do! and He was blessed us greatly with photography! And I know this degree will be a great help for when we go to Spain as missionaries!

The weekend was so busy! We had a few photoshoots scheduled that we had to postpone because of the rain... so we were only able to do one. But we had a wonderful time with Nate's family and with our friends. We missed them!

We have a wedding coming up soon!!!!! We are very excited to be able to capture our bride and groom's special day and we are praying we will be a blessing to all our brides and grooms this summer! It is such a blessing to have this job! Oh! and we added a new camera to our gear! We should be receiving it this week! I've wanted it for soooo long!

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by!
