Noemi Hedrick

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!

What are photographers saying about FOCUSED Photography Workshops?

“Your passion and energy around photography was contagious and I think everyone benefited from something from the day. Your planning and preparation definitely showed and I was so energized leaving your house. You have an uncanny ability to light a fire under people…and I loved watching the group get so excited about different things through out the day. You did a wonderful job and were truly inspiring! (Jacquelyn – attendee 2008)

“Thank you so much for this, it was actually a dream come true for me because like I had told you before it is exactly what I needed trying to get into the business.  My favorite part was the Lightroom demonstration that you gave to us.  It gave me a lot of info and excitement to have that for myself and have an idea on how to use it.” (Steph – attendee 2008)


Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop

What are Mom’s saying about the workshop?

“Thank you so much for all of the time you took to answer our questions and help all of us learn more about photography.  I really enjoyed learning from you and you have such a wonderful fun and upbeat personality it’s contagious!  I can see why all your families stick with you!

I learned sooooooo much yesterday at the shoot.  It was great just getting to have the experience and have you talk us all through it and give tips along the way.  Many of the things you mentioned were not necessarily questions I would have thought to ask….but definitely things that helped me to improve my photography. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that I really really enjoyed the workshop. I wouldn’t have changed anything! (Molly – Attendee 2009)

“I have learned a ton from you and your workshop, now it is just putting it all to use and still figuring out the numbers.  I still have some questions on that one, but I am going to play around and see what I can figure out. Thanks again for everything!” (Melissa – Attendee 2009)

New Year’s Resolutions…In Photography Workshops.

Every year I get a little older and wiser…don’t you? It’s actually quite comforting to know the things you did and regret you can change and improve upon in the years to come. One of the major things I’m learning about myself is how much I love teaching photography. Well, not just teaching but, actually encouraging people to grow in the gift or passion. I’ve been teaching workshops for the last 2 years and want to do it more this year!

If you’ve wanted to come to past workshops but couldn’t because of scheduling or finances start thinking and planning for the 2010!

Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshops – For mom’s with a DSLR wanting to understand their camera and learn to take better pictures of every day life!

FOCUSED Photography Workshops – For amateur photographers wanting to learn about growing their passion into a business.

Advanced FOCUSED Photography Workshops – For anyone who has taken a FOCUSED Photography Workshop in the past and would like to take their photography and business to the next level!

There is a max of 10 registrants accepted for each workshop – I want to make sure I have plenty of one-on-one time with everyone.

I’ll have the dates and registration available in the next couple of weeks but, I wanted to give you the heads up on what’s coming!

WINNER of the Free Registration to the Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop…

I knew going into this picking one person would be hard but, since I want everyone to come I’m giving a gift to the other women who were nominated…

Meagan Haugeto

Molly Shields

Melissa Gruber

Tonya Welsch

Carrie Miller

Sign up for the workshop and come at the discounted rate of $220.00 instead of $250.00. You’re friends and family believe in your gift as a photographer and would love to see you grow in it…so would I! I hope this sways you because the workshop is going to be amazing! There is nothing like getting together with a bunch of women who share a similar passion…we’re going to have a blast!

THE WINNER IS…Kerry Bowman!!!!! I was overwhelmed by emails and comments left by friends and family nominating her…No joke, I think I got 25+ emails! I can’t wait to have her in the workshop! Here’s some of the reasons I received:

  • As soon as I heard about the workshop for moms I thought of Kerry and knew that attending would be a dream come true for her!  However, I knew that she wouldn’t  be able to afford taking advantage of the opportunity as her family lives on a limited income as Missionaries.
  • In the 8 years that I’ve known Kerry she has always loved photography and capturing the joy of life in people and the wonder of the world around them.  For several years now she has remarked to me about her desire to pursue classes and training in photography but hasn’t yet managed to do so as a dedicated and busy mom.
  • Kerry’s passion for photography has been with her since high school.  She has demonstrated a keen interest in the art of photography over the last 10 – 15 years.  She has dedicated time to various courses and self-study to explore what the world of photography has to offer.
  • Kerry quickly becomes accomplished at nearly everything she puts her mind too and photography is no exception.  She has an eye for what will make the frame pop with meaning and I have often commented that her photographs have a professional quality to them.  Her calendars of photographs of little Abigail and the rest of the Bowman / Hunt family are much anticipated each Christmas!
  • I’d like to nominate Kerry for the prize of your workshop, Noemi. I guess for me it comes down to a few simple things, the first of which is passion. Kerry’s had a passion for photography for many years now and finally has the opportunity to invest herself in that passion. I have a feeling that the person that you want attending your workshop is the person who is going to fully throw themselves into the creative process and make the most of what they learn. That’s Kerry. And here’s another thing about Kerry…She’s a natural teacher and she passes on to others what the Lord gives her. So, if it’s important to you to multiply your skills and gifting out to others, which I think is probably the point of your workshop, then Kerry’s one who will be a ripple effect, passing on the skills she learns to others.
  • Kerry has a caring personality and a giving heart and I know that any time you invest in her will be multiplied in the number of people she in turn shares those skills with.

THANK YOU to everyone who wrote in and nominated there friends! You’re email were filled with kindness and love…it was a blessing to me! I love what I do and I love sharing the gift of photography. I’m so looking forward to this fall’s workshop! If you haven’t signed up yet…now is the time!

Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop

I’ve loved reading  your nominations. It’s so sweet when people take the time out of their busy day to write compliments about a friend. Seriously…I love this stuff. I’ve received a ton but, I want more! If you’ve been thinking about nominating a friend – do it now! I’m still taking nomination until the end of the month. AND I must say the more I have sent about one person the more I feel like they deserve to come. You know I’m an American Idol fan and love democracy so, even if you know a friend has been nominated send in your email to sway me further!

I am going to chose one mom to come to the Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop for FREE! I can’t wait!
