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

What’s Next

December 8th, 2011

It’s this stirring in my heart. Something deep in my soul that draws me in. My journey in photography has taken some twists and turns, but my heart has always been drawn to this.

I am slightly fearful of putting myself out there on this journey. I’m not typically one to do that, probably for fear of failure. But I’d rather passionately pursue something I love, and risk failing, than never even try. And I know that if it’s the plan God has for me, He’ll open the doors. If it’s not, then I’m trusting Him for the better plan, the one I can’t see clearly yet.

Last week I applied for an opportunity to take time off work for volunteer work. The work I’m applying for is humanitarian photojournalism for a great organization called Food for the Hungry. It will be a difficult test of patience and faith over the next 3 1/2 months while I wait for acceptance, but I’ve given it to God and I have a peace in my heart. Whether I get it or not, I’m trusting in God and I know it’s His plan.

Wedding in Radnor | Evan and Hilary

October 22nd, 2011

“I’m going to be entering the ceremony on a zipline,” Evan casually stated as we toured the venue a couple of months before the wedding. I hesitated for a half second. Both adventurous and hilarious, Evan’s the kind of guy who just could be serious when he says something like that. Hilary just smiled knowingly at his witty remark, and we continued on walking around the grounds.

Their wedding was beautifully simple. Nothing extravagant nor tied to traditions, but everything beautiful and classy. Many of the details came from local farms and stores, but more importantly, their day was simply a celebration. It felt like a big party that reflected who they are as we all came together to celebrate their marriage.

I am so genuinely happy for Evan and Hilary, and it was such an honor to be a part of their day. We’ve known them since college, and Rich even lived with Evan and some friends for a couple of months just before we got married. (There might be something in our history together about a LOST costume party, too. ;) )

Evan and Hilary are such a beautiful couple, and I couldn’t be happier to see two friends uniting their lives together.

Evan had one of the girls deliver a letter he had written for her to read before the ceremony.

Evan and his groomspeople

They laugh together. A lot. :)

Hilary is just the perfect pairing for Evan’s humor. I love how they can be goofy together. :)

Ceremony & Reception Venue: Bolingbroke Mansion–Radnor, Pennsylvania
Food & Drinks: Whole Foods Market–Devon; Highland Orchards–West Chester; Two Gander Farm–Oley; Termini’s–Philadelphia; di Bruno Brothers–Philadelphia; The Gryphon Cafe–Wayne
The beautiful flower arrangements were done by Hilary’s mother.

A special thanks to my husband, who was not only my second shooter for the day (and he had quite a few shots make the blog  :)), but my number one support and encourager.  I couldn’t have done it without you!
