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!

Baby Isabel

Last sunday we had the opportunity to take Isabel´s newborn pictures. I enjoyed picking the backdrop and props! And her mommy brought beautiful blankets to use! She did great and looks so beautiful and peaceful! I can´t wait to edit the rest! Wohoooo!

My new life


So everybody says that when you have a baby your life changes. And guess what? It's true! If you have a baby, you know that! But what some people don't tell you is that it changes for better! While being pregnant I've heard so many people say comments like: oh yeah, you'd better sleep now cause you are not gonna get any sleep when the baby comes! but it's worth it... or things like, take as many naps as you can and do all you can cause when the baby is here, you won't have time to do anything!.... I heard many good comments, and many negative comments. But despite all that, I was sure however my life would change, would be an amazing and wonderful change! And it has been! I knew it because what God gives us is always for the best! It was within God's plans!

Nate and I decided that it was better for me to stay home to raise and take care of our baby. So that's what I do and truly enjoy! God has blessed us with a handsome, smart little boy, and he has made our lives so much happier! He has already established his own routine. He sleeps almost all night, he barely cries, he smiles all the time, he loves looking around, he takes naps at the same time every day, he has his eating pattern and eats so good! God has really blessed us greatly! And I do get a lot of time of sleep, because we get to take naps at the same time! We really have a lot of fun together!

He is now 7 weeks and he just does the cutest things! For real, I don't say this just because he is my son, hehe He is just that awesome, and of course, our best model! Check this out!


We have been receiving blessings and more blessings for the past few weeks! One of them is Nate's graduation! Yayyyy, he is graduating in May and he will be done with college! He loves studying so he is probably going to end up taking more courses in the future, but for now, he is done with college. And do you know what that means? It means that we can start to embark on one of the most important journeys of our life: MISSIONS! I am sooo excited about it and I can't wait! God is our first priority and all we do we want to do for His glory and honor. You might wonder: what about photography? We believe God has blessed us with photography in a great way and we want to bless others with it! We are planning to continue to do more photo sessions. But like I have said before, our calling is missions and serving God, so that will be our first priority! We will still enjoy taking pictures and blessing others with our photography, and we hope we can continue to do so :)

We have new pictures to post, so stay tuned!!!!!

Have a great day and thank you for being a part of our passion for photography!

So thankful for having such a wonderful people around me!

Thank God, my mother in law, my mom and my sister were able to come see Alex and us these last few weeks! My mother in law came for a few days before and after our baby's birth and was a huge blessing to us! She helped us so much!!!!! And helped us get everything ready for our baby's arrival! There were so many things I hadn't thought about that our baby would need.... so she made sure we had everything he would need and everything ready for him! My sister only came for one week, and she was a real blessing and helped me so much during the hardest week, which is when I was recovering. I wish I had been able to go out with her more since it was her first visit to the US... but I hope she can come back soon!!!! My mom stayed a little longer and has been a huuuuuge blessing too! She has been cooking, cleaning, helping me with the baby and doing so much for us! It has been a hard recovery and I am still trying to get better! And God has blessed me with wonderful people willing to help me during all this! I'm so thankful for them!!!

Yesterday, I took my mom out to take some pictures of her! She has always been a beautiful woman, so I'm proud to show her off :) Here are some pics!!!!
Have a wonderful sunday!

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!!!!!!
