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!

Happy New Year!!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful time and we wish you a very happy new year!!!! God has been blessing us greatly during our first year of marriage, and we are very thankful for that! We can't wait to see God's work and blessings in our lives for this coming year! We have started the year in our new home! And we absolutely love it! A few months ago we felt that God had called us to move to Alabama till Nate finishes school. Here we will be able to help in my home church and be involved in different ministries, which is what we really want to do: serve God and prepare for when God sends us to the mission field! Nate will attend college for a couple of years. We are very excited to be able to help in this church and we can't wait to start! We spent all tuesday moving from Tennessee to Alabama, and we have been unpacking and cleaning for a looong time! We had two wonderful families help us move on tuesday, and now we are finally done and we are so excited to live here! We love this area! 
Our business will be now based in Alabama, but we will still be able to travel to any part of the world (we actually love doing that!) We actually have already some trips planned for future photo sessions!!!
We will be posting more pictures in the next days, but right now we are trying to get internet at the house and get all things settled down :)
We thank you all of you guys for having been such an encouragement and we hope we can be a blessing to you in this new year!
Have a wonderful weekend!

We're back!!!!

So after two weeks in Spain, we are now back in the US! We've been soooo busy, so we barely had time to write any post! We're so sorry!
But we had a great time in Spain and we will post more pictures! Right now we are still out of it from the airplane and the jet lag :) But we are very excited about how things went during this trip! God has blessed us so much! He keeps blessing and blessing our lives!
We got to spend a lot of time with my mom, siblings, nephew and nieces, cousins, etc... we missed my family a lot! Now we can't wait to go visit Nate's family!
This was the first time Nate got to spend Christmas in Spain! and it was his second trip to Spain (first being married!). So he got to learn about our Christmas traditions and he really enjoyed it! We ate turron, jamon, manchego cheese, seafood, and a lot of other very yummy things.
The last day there we went to Madrid city to see Cortilandia, to eat there, and to do some shopping. Nate got me the coat I had been looking for (and on sale!! I love it so much!) and we ate at a traditional Spanish restaurant where the first plate was buffet style (we ate too much, but it's food we won't be able to eat for a while!).
There were so many things going on that it is very hard for me to tell you about the whole trip! But in conclusion, it was amazing, full of blessings! and we can't wait to go back!
Here is a picture of us in Campo Real! This is a very old but beautiful town! I love these little villages! We went there with my family and took some pictures of my sister and her husband, that we will post later on. But I liked the backgrounds so much, that I asked my sister to take some pictures of us too! She did great! I think that from now on I'm just gonna ask her to take pictures of us every time we need new pictures! :D
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and we are sorry we were not able to write much during this trip!
