Four! {Nashville Children Photographer}

2011-07-15T20:40:00.000-07:00

Being a mother has its challenges to be certain, but yet even the challenges seem blessings. I rediscovered my passion for photography thanks to the birth of my little one. At that time, I remember my mind being inundated with images...the kind of images I wished I could transform into a photograph because they would last forever.

Photographs are magical in that sense, they capture a moment that will never be repeated in time. It is that magic that enchants me deeply.

Early in the spring my little one turned Four!

There is nothing like the joys of photographing newborns... you seem to forget how little babies are when they are born. Mr. L was a tough one to photograph, but he gave some sweet opportunities to take keepsake memories for his parents :)

Saturday, I was given the opportunity to photograph a beautiful baby boy with the most beautiful name. I was enchanted by his easy going personality and his love for a charming little and colorful stuffed toy named Elvis!... Everybody should have an "Elvis"!. Here is a sneak peek...

I think that babies sleeping are the most peaceful beings in earth... such a beautiful moment to be able to observe and photograph. A 10 days old that wanted to stay awake but went into dream land enough for me to captures these precious moments.

A Lovely Family {Sneak Peek}

Early Saturday I met this lovely family at the park. It was a beautiful morning of fall... I had so much fun photographing them that time seemed to fly... here is a sneak peek... :)

The love of a dog...

I think there is nothing better in the world than being loved by a dog...From my earliest memory,I always had the blessing to have a dog being a member of my family... because that is what they become... a member of the family. :)

Of being grateful and paying it forward...

As November starts I have also started to count my blessings and being grateful for them... is about the right time of the year.... don't you think?...I am grateful that I was given the curiosity to explore photography and also the certainty of being able to do it... the certainty that I had it in me to be able to create a photograph.... in the journey I have had since I first got my DSLR, I have learned so much and it has allowed me to translate images that cross my mind into photographs.... I have had much help from a lot of people at Flickr, many of them wonderful photographers that inspire me everyday... So in honor of those kind souls that have helped me in my Journey... Today I got this idea... during November I will give away 4 8x10 prints, one each week. Leave a comment here if you would like to participate and win for week #1. I will be selecting a random winner on Sunday, November 8th. The winner can head over to my Flickr stream and pick the photograph that he would like to receive as a print... easy? :)

Fall in the park...

2009-11-02T19:06:00.000-08:00

I love spring... but there is also something very magical about fall colors. Something about Nashville is that neither of them seems to last long.

Yesterday, I took my little one in an outing to a park nearby. Watching him play and run in between leaves, looking for deers and squirrels was such an enchanting time.

Behold!, the power of sticks! :)

Hard to Resist...

Is there anything more compelling than the honest look of a child?. Seems to me that all their innocence and sweetness is stored in those little pearls... isn't it?.

About

2009-01-01T15:50:00.000-08:00

Hi, I am Gaby... and I am photographer in Nashville, TN and I am in a journey to find beauty in everyday life.

At heart, I am an artist amazed by the creative drive of the human mind and enchanted with the colors and shapes of the world.

I have always been in love with photographs and with the art of taking them. I rediscovered this lost love after the birth of my son. I wanted to be able to capture every smile and every moment in a special way.

When I am taking photographs, I strive to capture artistic everyday life portraits that speak of the pure essence and beauty of children and families. I believe in the beauty and simplicity of pictures taken in the child's own environment, documenting life's essential details and joys.
