About Naomi Figueroa Photography
Traveling. Farmer‘s markets. Changing of seasons. Latin America. Cooking. The color blue (definitely not pink). Maine. Fresh fruits and veggies. Photography. Big dogs (if you‘re going to be a dog, be a DOG). Writing. The smell of pine trees. Jesus. Teenagers. Speaking Spanish (or trying, at least). Learning. Fair trade coffee. Dancing salsa with my husband. Nature. Family.
Just a few snippets of my life, but it all comes out in my photography because it is part of who I am. The why of everything I do is to bring glory to God. He is the ultimate Creative and the reason that we have this wonderful gift of being able to create, whether our medium is art or language or technology or music.
I‘m so glad you stopped by my blogsite. I hope you‘ll enjoy exploring a bit. Leave some love in the comments, or send me a note on the contact page! :D
I got to go out a week or so ago with Taryn to shoot some portraits, just for fun and for me to practice a few things I’ve been working on. We found some great spots at Daniel Boone Homestead and in the Douglassville area, and both Taryn and my assistant Sarah were troopers since it was still pretty chilly! I was so thankful to have both of them join me for the afternoon. Hope you enjoy!
“This is good for us,” Sarah commented as the icy wind blew their freshly done hair around, whilst all of our limbs slowly lost a bit of mobility and our fingers turned red. “It’s teaching us strength.” I had to chuckle, but I was happy to have two such willing models on an unseasonably cold late March morning. And to boot? Teenagers + early morning! Was this nothing short of a miracle?
Sarah and Emily were so great to work with, coming up with fun ideas and just enjoying our time together. We were glad to have a location where we could hop in the car every 10 minutes and go driving while we warmed up. And even gladder when we finally finished and decided to stop at Wegman’s in Collegeville for some hot drinks.
Hope you enjoy!
Just havin a little fun with the light. 
A little behind the scenes look at just how freezing we were!
“Jacqui, you know this just means I’m going to have to be stealth when I try to take your pictures,” I would say. “I consider this a challenge.” And Jacqui would just laugh knowingly, but I’m sure she always kept a keen eye out for me and my camera gear at church functions. See, I’ve known Jacqui and her family for a few years now at church, and for the life of me, I don’t think I’ve been able to snag one picture of this beautiful girl where she wasn’t turning her head or telling me not to take her picture. So, when Jacqui’s mom asked me about doing her senior pictures, I was more excited than normal for a photo shoot.
Jacqui is an amazingly talented singer, and she has a very sweet, easy-going spirit. I hope you can see why I absolutely adored this session!
I don’t know…I think she may have a mischievous side! 
Jacqui, thank you for humoring me for a couple of hours! And, I think, you may have even enjoyed it. But your secret is safe with me….;)
