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!
Yay, I love it when I get to post portraits! They are my absolute favorite, and I especially love working with teens, seniors, and young people. If you’ve followed my blog for any time, you’ve seen this girl before. As always, we had tons of fun and got some amazing shots! She put up with the cold (hey, it was above freezing, so nobody is allowed to complain) and staring towards the sun (there were no clouds and the shadows were harsh–what do you want?). Also, many thanks to my awesome assistant Liz, a wonderful girl and aspiring photographer. She helped with the lighting and had some great pose ideas as well!
