family pictures

December 10, 2012 By Erica Deuel 2 Comments

My sister-in-law, Christina, has an amazing eye behind the camera.  I hate to even acknowledge that Christina (or “stina” as my kids call her) is part of my family because I may sound a little bias.  I hope by the end of this post you too can see why I believe so much in this girl and her work!  It is gorgeous!

 

The thing about having a professional photographer in the family is we always have amazing shots from our family functions, just like my birthday pumpkin carving/fire pit/cookout extravaganza.

One thing that I just adore about Christina’s pictures are how real and genuine they are while being completely gorgeous!!  I know from our family shoots, we have kids that don’t always want to smile or sit still.   Christina can somehow still get awesome pictures with some fidgety subjects all the while capturing their natural joy.  I love hugging pictures with huge smiles!!

Christina is the real deal.  She works hard and will spend hours and hours researching new shooting locations, going and checking the lighting at these locations to save you time and get you the best pictures possible.  She strives for excellence and it shows in her work.  Although her work is perfect in my eyes, she spends hours reading other photographers’ blogs, learning, and experimenting.  She has a natural gift and is still humble.  I love to watch the joy she gets from creating art in taking gorgeous pictures.  She comes alive behind a camera and I feel it shows in work.

Christina has done family shoots…

She has a love for capturing life at its fullest and that is how she rolls living it.  Life is an adventure.  She has captured my guys in the middle of a water balloon fight, wearing five different parts of superhero costumes all at once, and even Reagan’s first painting experience.  These pictures are priceless.  If you are pregnant, I can’t imagine the incredible pictures Christina could capture!  She would do an incredible job at a maternity shoot or even a baby’s first newborn pictures!  Capturing those little toes and smiles in their sleep is so sweet.

If you live in the Atlanta, GA area, I highly recommend contacting Christina and seeing how you can set up your own photo shoot with her.  I know our family is going to get a shoot with her this Christmas season.  It will be the first time that all my siblings will be together in what feels like a really long time, so she is going to capture it with the mix of all different poses with our clan together.  Do you have family coming in town where you would like a photo shoot to capture the moment together??

I know I am smiling the whole time I scroll through her work.  It is so beautiful and full of heart and joy!

Thank you for stopping by and meeting a side of a girl, Christina, that helps my world go round.  Have an awesome day!!

Broken Voices and Idea Farm

June 28, 2012 By Erica Deuel 1 Comment

Most of you probably know that My husband and I run a non-profit called Broken Voices.  We have been apart of it for about four years now.  I havent talked much about it on here, but it is something I truly believe in.  I would love for you all to read a short excerpt from an email my husband wrote to our followers this week…

“Broken Voices is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, GA. We exist to inspire college-aged people to dream big and act now. What does that mean? Quite simply, we believe that everyone has a God-given passion: a strength inside of you that would make a significant difference in the world if it was lived out. Specifically, we use films and live events that work to inspire people to uncover those passions and begin taking action on them.
If you’d like to learn more please check out our new website.
Or feel free to check out one of the stories we’ve caught on camera that help spread hope and inspiration on a daily basis.
Finally, we have an event coming up that we are pretty excited about called IDEAfarm. It’s just like what it sounds, imagine a cornfield—not just any cornfield, but the best one ever. Instead of rows of corn stalks, we have a group of college-aged folks that have a ton of great ideas that they are ready to harvest. We spend four days together working through strengths, weaknesses, and practical steps of action to begin seeing these ideas through to reality. It’s a pretty intimate gathering down at Jackson Lake, GA, but we do have a few open spots. Do you or someone you know need to join us? Oh, and did I mention that it’s paid for by our generous supporters? Click here to check out the details.
We are looking forward to a really exciting couple of months and I’m glad you are in the journey with us.

Sincerely,
Matt Deuel
Executive Director”

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!  Like Matt asked, do you know of anyone who should be at Idea Farm in a few weeks??  We would love to hear from them!  Have them contact us soon!
