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

Wedding in Radnor | Evan and Hilary

Saturday, 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!

Attention Class of 2012 | Calling Senior Spokesmodels

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

What is the Senior Spokesmodel program?

–I take your senior portraits for FREE (normally $100). As many outfits as you want, at any outdoor location you want.

–You get 50 referral cards with your photo to pass out to your friends and you can share your images online with at least 10 facebook files (but probably even more because I know we’ll get lots of great shots!).

–For every senior you refer that books a session with me, you get $25 in print credits that you can use towards your print order, and your friend gets $10 in print credits. If you refer 5 friends, I’ll give you a bonus $25 in credits. If you refer 10 friends, I’ll give you another $25 credit bonus, plus a free family or friends session during your senior year.

Who can be a Senior Spokesmodel?

–Any class of 2012 senior in the Reading/Pottstown/Phoenixville area is eligible. Number of students per high school may be limited.

–I’m looking for seniors that are outgoing and involved in your school, church, or community.

When’s it happening?

–RIGHT NOW! Deadline to apply is August 1st.

–Once you are chosen to be a spokesmodel, I’ll meet with you and your parents to discuss details. You must be able to book your session before September 10th.

–Super important info: We will need your parents’ written permission for me to use your photos online and in print materials, so make sure you show your parents this page before you apply. I’d hate to choose someone and not be able to give you your free session because your parents aren’t cool with it.

Dana and Kyle│Engagement│Pottstown Portrait Photography

Monday, June 20th, 2011

After a long Friday at work, she was more than ready to go home.  A text from Kyle let her know that the night might be longer than she anticipated. “My car is broken down…can you come pick me up?” It was on her way home from work anyway, so she figured it would be no biggie. She quickly replied and headed to where he was waiting.

When she arrived at the parking lot of the place they had their first date, he was already walking towards her car with his bag in hand. He hopped in, eagerly, but she was still none-the-wiser. Before she was able to put her hands on the wheel, he reached over to stop her from driving. ”This is the place where I met the girl of my dreams, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me, Dana?”

Oh, as Dana was telling me the story I was just overwhelmed with joy and happiness for both of them. Every couple’s proposal story is different and uniquely beautiful. Dana knew that a proposal was coming. She kept wondering if it was around this corner or that, whenever they were doing something special. The absolute most romantic thing Kyle could have done was to completely blindside her and get her when she was least expecting it. Boy, was she surprised!

I’ve known Dana for a few years now, and Kyle for the past 8 months or so, and I have enjoyed seeing them grow as individuals and as a couple. I am so incredibly happy for them and completely humbled that they’ve given me the honor of capturing their wedding day. We had an absolute blast on the engagement shoot, and I was lucky to have my amazing hubby along as an assistant. Dana and Kyle were both such troopers in the hot weather, and I hope these photographs are a great payoff for them! Enjoy. :)

Oh, when they told me they brought props, I jumped up and down and squealed, “Yay!” Hehehe….even cooler, they wanted to show off their “favorite things”–photography for Dana, and baseball (specifically the Red Sox–go New England!) for Kyle.
