Nicki's Picture Playground!

Your Bio

Hello, fellow photography nuts and viewers;
My name is Nicki and first of all I want to thank the Lord for all He has done in my and my family's life. If it wasn't for His Love and Mercy I would not be here today as the person you all see. I hope that in and through the pictures you see you will see His Love. It is my goal for all to see that with Him all things are possible! As you look at pictures of our family, (especially for those who know me) you have to marvel at His awesome abilities- because this family would not be existent without Him. I will never forget it, and will always be thankful to Him for it- and EVERYTHING else is meaningless. It will all burn up one day. Yes, taking pictures is a passionate hobby of mine, but I always keep the importance of it in perspective. (I do wish I could bring my camera to Heaven though!)

red barn again- I like the growth- it gives it a sense of old age.

My Favorite Calvary Chapel Nuevo Event Pictures : Being a part of this wonderful church has been one of our family's biggest blessings. It is the Lord using "tools" in this church that brought our family back together and completely healed it! We have made countless, lifelong friends here and absolutely love the leadership. Our pastor is inspiring to say the least- I can't say we ever got sleepy during one of his messages! We love you Calvary Chapel Nuevo!

My favorite animal shots : As much as I love animals, I don't take many pictures of them. Maybe because of the difficulty to get a good one- you take 20 and keep 1! If anyone can teach me how to take good horse pictures, I'm game for tips!
