The Stroemer Family Portraits (Minneapolis, MN)

Noemi — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:21:11 +0000

I love the backdrop of Minnespolis, MN! AND there are some families I will never tire of capturing…this is one of them. I feel like they are my friends! It’s an amazing privilege to capture a family as they grow and change (wanna look back? and back a little further?)

This is where the photographer takes things too far...who lines a whole family up to do push-up's? Especially when the momma is pregnant? sadly, me.

I’ve known this couple…for a really long time…over 10 years? And I love them. Actually I loved them both separately and then I kinda set them up. then I shot their wedding (with film) over 8 years ago. Yup. I did.

Now look at their beautiful family.

How times flies.

Please don’t let it be another 8 years before I get to capture your family again!

Isn't she lovely? Stunning.

This is how it starts...

AND this is how it ends! Everyone giving me their crazy!

This lovely couple came out in the pouring rain and were incredible sports as I taught the Practical Photography Workshop and photographed them! Hopefully the pictures aren’t too wet!

Mini Sessions – London, England (family photography)

When I was 19 I went to School of Ministry in Toronto, Canada…that was 17 years ago. CRAZY! I made some incredible friendships that still exist today! I’m so thankful for the shaping years. What I learned about the Lord during that time really set the foundation for who I am today.

Andy was in the school with me and I persuaded him to drive up and bring the family so they could be my models for the workshop! Brace yourself for the cutest curly hair ever!

I met this couple when they were at Bethany College of Missions and I was the bookstore manager…that seems like a lifetime ago. Who knew I’d be their family photographer years later? Not me. I remember them being sweet together and well suited. Now 11 years later they have 2 incredible kids, are missionaries in England planning to someday move to their ministry to Italy. They are an incredible family! It was such a delight to stay with them, get to know them and capture them during 1 of the 2 hours it was actually sunny!

Thank you for everything Julia. Enjoy your pics!

The boys are kissing the girls!

Sweet families are the easiest to capture…and this is was one of the sweetest families EVER! We laughed the whole time. One of my favorites things to do btw.

Enjoy!

Back from London, England!

i arrived thursday and most of the day was spent getting to where we needed to go (Heathrow to Eltham) and then resting because it took so long to get there! Friday we went touring in Greenwich…it poured but that didn’t stop us.

Here’s a link for the grounds we walked while in Greenwich!

For me England is all about the details of anything old. I love everything! So I see beauty everywhere. This is the top of a gate.The French Bakery in the market!

shopping...

Beautiful buildings...even in the pouring rain!

This stunning location will be used for the 2012 Olympics!

Loved this sculpture. Seriously...it's cool right?

Obviously made an impact on me since I'm posting 3 pictures of it! LOL

Can you see how big the smile on my face is? That's because I'm in England and with my sister!

Sometimes you just have to jump for JOY!

My tribute to Canada!

We took public transport everywhere...it was crazy fast!

The town we stayed at had lovely gardens near a tudor barn. STUNNING!

Practical Photography Workshop in London, England

Here I come!

As a mom of three I don’t get to travel internationally much. If you’re ever wanting to try this there’s a couple of things that have to be in place:

1. Have a husband who’s amazing and loves being with your kids!

2. Have an incredible contact abroad who’s willing to do leg work for you and get the word out!

3. It helps to have a sister who lives in the country of choice for incentive to make it happen!

4. Have friends that are willing to help get you to and from the airport and watch your kids when you’re husband needs to work!

5. Have a dream, put it out there and watch the Lord figure out the details!

So, today I fly! As soon as I get to airport my vacation begins. I’m bringing way too many books and things to do because, Lord knows, I’m going to watch movies on the plane. But, I will have hours of uninterrupted time and I want to enjoy every minute.

I know it’s a long way to go for 5 days but it will be worth every moment of jet-lag because it’s England, photography and my sister.

Yes…I will be taking tons of pictures!

And yes, I will be sharing them with you!

This has nothing to do with Photography…but it’s so cute I had to share.

I love music. My oldest daughter has the same love. We share a love for musicals. This year at her school talent show she decided to sing “Somewhere over the rainbow!” from the Wizard of Oz! She wouldn’t sing the newer versions she had to be just like Judy Garland…awesome.

Here she is being herself, singing her heart out and having the time of her life! Brace yourself for an incredible amount of cuteness.

on the car ride home she sighs and says, “Ohh I wish we could go back to the school and I could sing again!” Wow, right? And she follows that comment up with, “Tomorrow, when people say, ‘Hey Adriah!’ I’ll turn around and say, ‘No It’s Judy!”

I love this girl!

Children Portrait Photography – Minneapolis, MN

The Reilly Family Portraits

Noemi — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:46:32 +0000

A family I know and love and MISS! They moved away over a year ago and finally came back to visit as a family…and I was so blessed to capture them again! (Even though I shot their family session outside and nearly froze their kids!)

I love you all and happy to celebrate your baby’s 2nd birthday!

She had enough of the cold...the end.

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear.

I’m eating a dove chocolate bar as I sit down and write this post…just being honest!

I feel the need to explain myself to you.

I am not a runner.

When I run I feel like I’m going to die.

I would never volunteer to run anywhere.

The furthest I’ve run is when I have a friend beside me distracting me from my own hyperventilating sounds.

I walk outside (safe) and run on a treadmill (because only “real” runners run outside)

Even then, I’ve fallen off the treadmill…twice. It’s like the treadmill knows it’s me and doesn’t want to be embarrassed.

So, I tell people I’m going to run 1 mile a day for 8 weeks and they say, “Great!” when inside I’m saying, “I hope I make it past the first day!”

And then I think about Human Trafficking…and I stop complaining about how much this is going to hurt.

I care about the strangers out there who are being forced into the slave trade. Did you know that the average age is 13? Or that some are being sold by family members? I care those people and I want to “do” something. If it’s possible to end Human Trafficking I want to be a part of that movement. Don’t you?

Tread on Trafficking is going to cost me. I’m okay with that. (But, I wouldn’t mind company for my runs though!)

As my donation…I’m having a garage sale in May and part of the proceeds are going towards LOVE 146 and part is going towards Olive Tree Adoptions.

I am studying the book of James in the bible and I’m being challenge to live out what I say I believe. Faith means action.

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ²³ Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror ²⁴ and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ²⁵ But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. “

I want you to help me and join me.

Want to run with me? Email me (info@noemiphotography.com) to find out how to join my team.

Want to end Human Trafficking? Sponsor me. Let’s do this!

Noemi — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:44:42 +0000

Easter is a weekend set apart for Christian to remember that Jesus came, died and rose again so that we could be forgiven and could know him personally. I am forever thankful for His love and mercy in my life.

If you’re looking for a church to attend on Easter Sunday…we’d love to have you join us at Bethany Church this weekend!
