My little ministry :) - Downtown Athens Photography

I know I have mentioned this before on my Facebook page. I know...I barely use my blog, but I think Facebook updates on my photography page took over my blogging time! Photography is something I love and enjoy doing, whether it's for clients, for myself, for family, or just to be a blessing to somebody else. I have noticed since we started deputation, that my little photography business is turning into a little ministry. It's still part business, but I'm loving what it is becoming! I have had the privilege to photograph many missionary and pastor's families, and I am just so happy to be a part of their future memories, even if it just means being the woman that recorded their memories in pictures :)

This is another missionary family I've been able to photograph! They are pros! This was their 3rd session with us, and they absolutely knew what to do. It made my job easy :D I love their style, and I love seeing them play and laugh together! And what I like the most: they are going to be serving God in Spain! Ministering to my people! God is going to bless them greatly for being such faithful servants of Him, and surrendering to His calling. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in their lives and how He is going to use them for His glory!

Here is a sneak peek of their session! There was a car show going on at downtown Athens! So it was nice for a couple of romantic shots :) And to top it off: some sunset pictures right before the sun is going away :) Enjoy them!!!! And if you would like to, feel free to leave some blog love... That would be make my day!!!!

Have a great fourth of July!

Playing with sunrise light at a pier by a river! I enjoyed playing with this light! It sure was early, but so worth it :)

It was freezing but worth it! We got sooo many cute pictures of the 5 of them! They did a wonderful job and we had a lot of fun! She is a pro at decorating with balloons! She does an amazing job! So we decided to add a little bit of that to the pictures :)

Look at that cute little smile!

Her grandma came to the photo session and made her look at the camera for every pose! Every time she smiled, she would stick her little tongue out! I loved it! It´s just too cute! More to come!

Our newest family picture: Memorial Day

Yes, we are a super happy loving family and I could kiss my baby the whole time I spend with him! lol He is being such a blessing and joy to our lives! I love waking up to his smily face, I love hearing him giggle when he looks at the little toy bugs hanging from the handle of his car seat, I love hearing him play and giggle with daddy, and I love hearing him trying to talk and tell us stories. And even though he has crazy hair, I love it too and think it´s the cutest crazy hair ever :) And yes, I need a little mommy make over, lol some more pounds less, some hair style change, some shopping....(we were doing a cook-out on Memorial Day, so ignore my hair) ...but ohhh what a joy is to be a mommy!!!!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for always being a part of us!

Trying to fix it...

I remember before I got pregnant and pretty much all my life, I would think: goodness, pregnant women are so beautiful and so cute! I can't wait to be pregnant! I honestly didn't understand why pregnant women felt fat at all! I thought that baby bump was the cutest thing ever! Now, fast forward to these past two weeks, all I can say is....I'm so big!!!! I love my baby boy, how he moves, the cute things he does, having a belly, being pregnant, etc etc It's being a wonderful pregnancy. But! I honestly feel big, specially when I saw how our maternity session turned out... I just felt .... really big, so I thought: well, I love the pics, but that outfit makes me look fatter...we might as well take some more pictures with a different outfit so people see I'm really not that big...So here you go, my attempt to fix it (attempt hee hee), but yes, my belly is huge, although I love it! I keep being stopped at every store I go to and all I hear is: you're having twins aren't you? or... man! you are big! or... you're having a boy right? cause you are huge! lol

It really doesn't offend me :) It just makes me proud of my little boy! And I can't wait to see my baby boy and find out if he is just going to be a cute little chubby boy like his mommy was, or if he is just a loooong boy like his daddy (or if there really are two in here!!!) Two weeks to gooooo!!! Wohooooo!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell we're getting excited!!!!!!

We're so looking forward to meeting this precious little boy! Aaron and Mallery are good friends of ours. They are missionaries to Brazil! And Mallery and I found out we were expecting about the same time when we were working together! We are due only two days apart!!!!!! So it has been really fun to get together and just talk about babies and pregnancies!

Yesterday we went downtown Athens to try something different...and I love how cute their pics turned out! Of course, because they did an amazing job interacting and posing! It was great working with them!!!!

Hope you like them!!! :)

30 weeks!

I love family sessions!!!!

This is what happens when a family just has fun during the photo shoot! It is not us and our pictures, it's them and their feelings! There were so many images I wanted to share with you... actually I ended up with 200 edited final pictures because I couldn't decide which ones to post! They all were so cute with all of them laughing and enjoying each other! I think families are becoming one of my favorite things to take pictures of :)

Have a great day! We have more things to come!!!!

Oops about the shadow! It was a last minute picture and I loved the background and light at that moment, so I figured it would be ok :)

3 families in 1!

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to take pictures of a very cool family! We had a great time with them! And they were so easy going! There is nothing like working with a family that trusts you and your pictures and will do whatever you ask them to do! They made beautiful pictures and we have sooo many pictures of them to share! But here are just a couple I edited as I was downloading them!

Thank you guys for allowing us to take such special pictures for you! We hope you enjoy them! :)

The Puente's

A sneak peek of my cousin and his beautiful family! They are going to be 4 in a few months!!! 

The light was so great! And what a handsome baby! :D

The Stark Family

Here is a few favorites I picked from the photo shoot we did for the Stark family! Many of you know they are missionaries to Spain and we are actually related. They are my uncle, aunt and cousins (young cousins, everybody thinks they're my nieces, but everybody thinks Pilar is my sister, not my aunt!)

They have been a blessing to us when we have been to Spain to visit and they helped Nate a lot when he went on his first missions trip to Spain. He learned a lot from Matthew and really enjoyed it! So the least we could do was thank them with this photo session. Plus, those girls are beautiful, any photographer would love to photograph them! :D They three are so different but so cute! I love them!
