Welcome!

Thank you for coming to my blog and website! It means a lot to me. The world of blogging has become a part of my every day life and I love it. You will see everything on my blog...some of my recent photo shoots, some of what's going on in my world and some of what's happening in other peoples lives. It is a true reflection of me well, minus the spelling mistakes.

I started blogging a couple of years ago thinking it would be a great way to give my clients instant gratification. (who doesn't want to see their pictures ASAP after a shoot?) I never expected it to get as personal as it has...life took a turn and right after I started blogging one of my friends got pregnant with Sextuplets and I walked through the pregancy, birth, loss and triumph with their family...my blog became a place to share and meet friends! I've never turned back.

Of course, when people are getting to know me my name is a big topic. It is actually pronounced "No-Amy" (and yes, I've heard every joke running through your head right now!) Here's the story: I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and my parents were trying to be nice to me by naming me a Spanish name but then changed their plans and moved back to Canada 16 months later. I've had to explain my name ever since. It's me and I wouldn't change it for anything but, I am sorry for the inconvience...it's worth it though!

I'm passionate about a lot of things but I have to say there's nothing like weddings. Have fun going through the galleries and slideshows on the blog. I hope it inspires you to call me, or pick up your camera and start shooting.

These are a few of my favorite things:

I love my husband Matt. My soulmate and perfect match. I was made for loving him.

Taking the perfect shot and showing it...seeing the person light up melts my heart every time.

I love my little girl Adriah. There's no one in the world like her. She inspires me to be kind.

I love to sing and sing loud! I'm a front row girl so i can belt it out and no one cares!

I love my little boy Leyton. I could into those eyes forever. Just thinking of him puts a smile on my face.

I love Musicals and I'm not ashamed to admit the I own quite a few!

I love the Starbucks drink "London Fog." If you haven't tried it yet...now is the time.

I love my family...there's nothing like family.

I love jeans the fit.

I love friends that are family!

I love spicy food and traveling anymore to try it!

comments from my last wedding…

I don’t normally post emails or comments sent directly to me but I was so touched by this last one…I had to share!

Noemi, the pictures are more than perfect!! Thank you so much…can I say I can’t stop looking at them without sounding crazy!!

I forwarded your website to a friends and she wrote back, “The photos are spectacular ~ artful ~ creative…they should be in Bride Magazine! I didn’t even see the bridesmaid’s shoes at the wedding, which I LOVE! The cake photo…FUN!

O.K. I can’t stop singing your praises!! My sister wrote, “OMG….these are GREAT Pictures. She really captured each of them in their own personalities! I can’t wait to see more of them.”

Back in March, I remember Sarah and myself trying to tell you how we wanted all the feelings and special moments, known and unknown to us that would happen on her wedding day, captured and frozen in time for all to be able to look at and remember those wonderful feelings and special moments. You did it and more!!

As the mother of the bride, there is so much that goes into before and during the wedding day. I remember the next day telling my husband how it’s all a blur and started to cry. Maybe the tears were the day after let down tears, but there were also tears of sadness due to knowing I missed “special moments” that were lost forever due my mother-of-the-bride duties. But, when I saw the pictures you posted, I realized you captured what was felt that day and my feelings of lose vanished…now I can’t wait to see more!!

Thank you for being a special person and photographer!

I’m honored to be chosen to shot weddings. I know there’s a million photographers (or at least it seems like it!) and to be picked out of all that talent is amazing. I love shooting weddings and I hope to always be serving the Twin Cities in this small way!

Keep those weddings coming!

Photography Questions

Here’s a question from one of my readers:

Hi Noemi,
I loved that you are answering photography questions on your blog! That is SO helpful. I have a question for you: when shooting portraits, do you use the “continuous” shooting mode on your camera, or do you always take single shots? I usually shoot in continuous mode and I’m still having trouble getting really tack sharp photos, and I’m wondering if that may be part of the problem. I shoot single shots cause I like to take 3 shots and re focus each one. I landed on this method cause I shoot RAW and I hated having 10 shots of the same thing taking up tons of space on each card. But, having said that I know plenty of Pro photographers that shoot continuous for the same reason you do…and it definitely works. You need to make sure you’re focusing on the whites of the eye cause you’ll want it sharp.
Hope this helps!
Noemi

Photography Questions

You may or may not know this but, I love helping other photographers get ahead in their business! If I can answer your questions I will and usually I answer them on the blog so other people wondering can learn too!

Here’s a question I got this week…I’ll write the answers after each one.

And here’s one of the questions I wanted to ask you…
Since I’m still in the beginning stages of going professional, after a shoot, I usually just give my clients a cd with all the images. A couple of people have complained that when they print them (usually at walgreens, sam’s, target, etc.) the color is totally off. So my question would be, where do you recommend they should print their pics? Pro photographers should collaborate their computer screens to the printing lab so that colors come out the way they intent them to be. Another recommendation is to use something like a HUEY PRO which reads the light in the room and compensates. Because editing at 9 am will be very different then 9pm. One last suggestion is to not edit on a laptop because depending on the angle of the screen you’ll edit differently. I’ve done all of the above and have had to re-edit whole sessions…big pain in the you know where!
Also, where would you recommend someone order a canvas print? I use a exclusive Professional Photographers site when ordering for my clients but, I have also ordered from Canvas on Demand and thought it was good quality.

Thanks again!
Kristi
Hope this helps! Keep those questions coming…
