Have you ever said (or thought) "I'm so awkward in front of the camera"? I think this is the number one thing I hear from my couples when we're preparing for photos. Fun fact, almost EVERYONE feels this way. Here's the deal, if you choose well when you hire a photographer you don't need to worry about being "awkward" or not knowing what to do in front of the camera...this is our job. Knowing the technical side of photography is important, but in my opinion the most important part of my job is knowing how make you comfortable, and moving you through genuine interactions together. 
The countdown is on! Just under a month until Christine + Hector say "I do". For those of you who are already married, what was your favorite thing about the month that led up to your wedding day? Mine was seeing my countdown FINALLY under 30, and packing our bags for the flight to our destination!

I know my Redeemer lives Let all creation testify Let this life within me cry I know my Redeemer lives. (Nicole Today is one of those days that my stoic self ends up teary. Knowing that someone loved me...imperfect, stumbling through life like a toddler me...enough to give his life for my future. He knew I'd mess up, He knew I would do the wrong thing sometimes even knowing better, but He still chose me. There are plenty of people who will have more eloquent things to say about today, but thankfully for me that's not a qualifier for Jesus. 💕 Happy Easter 💕
