Facelifts

Sooo, I'm making some big changes to my wedding site and portrait sites - and having a blast! 4 full days of work, and I have all new albums on my wedding site. The portrait site boasts an entirely new section of mini sessions with portraits from all around the world.

As I was going through my personal image catologues, I realized how much my style has matured and developed over the last year. By far, my frames are more natural and more artistic.

Sometimes, it's hard for us to see the progress we make in life. Wether the topic be work, knowledge, or personal, progress isn't as easily measured in the day to day. But month by month and year by year, we keep on keeping on, and we will be astonished by where we have come from to where we are currently.

I think you'll agree with me when you see my sites. Check them out at www.ChristinaNicholePhotography.com.

What Exactly Is Your Work Again???

Missions Photography.

I am sure this is a complicated subject. A lot of people don't understand but that's ok. I am gonna try to clarify.

I take pictures for missions organizations. I take pictures to tell people at home what God is doing around the world. I take pictures to inspire others to reach out to their world. I take pictures to tell stories.

Some people may not think this is a valid ministry. I would dare say, why ever not? With my camera, I can go to the slums of Fiji and by taking portraits for the people living there, open up the door for other ministry's to come in without difficulty and preach the gospel. With my camera, I can support organizations that bring prostitutes off the street and give them a place to live and grow. With my camera, I can write stories that explain the needs and works of people around the world.

Simply because...I have a camera.

I don't know what missions photography is going to look like for me the next few years. I wish I could set a plan and just go after it. I want nothing more than to reach into the lives of those in need, help, and inspire others to help too.

I want to change the world with my camera.

Right now, this is the part of the story I'm braving.

I would dare say that couples who are interested in supporting non profits and philanthropy would be excited to book me as their wedding photographer. I work for the good of the couple, but I also work wedding photography so I can support people in need around the world.

Wouldn't the world be a beautiful place if we all did this?

Pushing the envelope on my own creativity...that was my theme for portraits while in New Zealand. I am fairly happy with the results. Even from this 3 minute session with team member Cheryl, we turned out some really fun frames.

A Glimpse of New Zealand

I think that God was playing when He made New Zealand. By far the most captivating place on earth.

I am working on a calendar of my New Zealand images. Email me if you are interested in ordering one...

Blessings!
