Senior season! We are starting with a beautiful senior girl :)

Who doesn;t like a little bit of variety right? At this session we were able to go to 5 locations! And she had perfect outfits for all of them! We found a very old thrift store made of barnwood that made really unique settings. We found a little field perfect for some cowgirl shots. We stopped at a bridge on the way to downtown Madison. And of course, downtowns are my favorite¡ We finished our session with some dressy elegant images in the middle of the street :) Oh, and a truck! Something new to me! But I can´t wait to edit those! The good thing of seniors? They always know how to pose :) It makes my job so easy! And they always know what to wear! So the session was easy and fun! And having my seniors`moms come to the session always help! More than what you think! Specially when the photographer forgets a very expensive lens by the railroad... oops!

I cannot wait to post more!!! And I´m really sorry if I´m rambling a lot! I have a handsome one year old pulling my skirt and fussing cause he wants some attention :) and I can´t say no to that little face! hehe

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

The most beautiful girls ever :)

Here is a part of what we do on deputation! We are loving every part of our deputation journey (maybe except the long drives... but it's getting better!). We get to share our burden for Spain, we get to meet wonderful people, we get to encourage people to be a part of missions, we get to serve God in different ways, we get to visit new places, and sometimes we get to do pictures for pastor's families and in this case, the youth pastor's family. :) Being a missionary is the best! And I am so thankful for the many blessing and the wonderful experiences God is allowing us to have!

Taking pictures of a big family is always a challenge. Getting everybody to look at the camera at the same time is always an almost impossible task. Somebody either blinks, or looks somewhere else, or cries...here, the very first pictures I took were a pose of the whole family. And they all looked at the camera! And that makes it all so much better! These kids did great allowing me to take their pictures, specially after I took out the big lollypop :) I didn't know it would help so much! But even before, they did so good! If you are a photographer, don't tell me you would not looooove to photograph these kids with these beautiful eyes :) I got to take many close ups where their eyes just pop! Beautiful bright eyes. I'll post them some other time, but here is a sneak peek for now!

Have a wonderful weekend!

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

A few pictures of the senior photo session I took yesterday and today! I don't take pictures of many guy seniors, so it is always a challenge for me!!! Specially if Nate can't come with me! But I enjoyed it and we were able to take a loooot of pictures! I love them all! He was so calm and posed so well! :)

Oh, and the first time I take cap and gown pictures outdoors!!!! :)

Have a blessed day!

Textures is something I have never really been interested in when dealing with post-processing. I must say, I like colorful real images with a little touch of vintage, and I don't like to overdo post-processing. When I saw other photographers edit their images with textures, I loved the results, but it just was not my cup of tea...till I heard about the Florabella textures. Once again, I really wasn't interested in textures! But then I watched a video tutorial where she taught how to apply these textures. I would see a straight out of the camera shot and the after result with just textures and a couple of basic touches (saturation, contrast...). I could not believe what a difference it made! Then we shot a wedding in February where we had a limited time for all the family, bride and groom, and wedding party shots. It was dark, and we couldn't go anywhere due to the lack of time. So we really didn't have many backgrounds to play with, even though the church itself was great! I must say...it wasn't as hard as I thought and we were able to capture some great shots of them together, just being sweet to each other, happy and joyful that they were married, and looking forward to living their lives as a married couple! And honestly, just working with a just married couple makes photography a whole different world! Once I saw them together, the backgrounds didn't matter any more! I realized it wasn't about the backgrounds. I just had to capture their love! And once I found these textures, I decided to play around with them and try to add a little bit more of creativity to the images and make the backgrounds a little but more interesting! I love the results. Maybe a overdid it a little??? Yes, I probably did :) But it's ok! I'm enjoying just playing around with them!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank this couple, their friends, and their family for all their help taking these pictures! We had a blast! And it was an honor to take them! She is Nate's pastor's daughter! Such a sweet godly family :)

Have a wonderful day!
