Camila + Pedro

If you travel six hours south of Santiago, Chile you will find yourself in Pedro and Camila's homeland: Concepción, Chile. If you travel 12 hours more, you will find yourself on a beautiful Island called Chiloé. About two months back, Pedro, his wife and us, started planning what was to be an epic adventure down south. On this long skinny country we currently call home, we have gotten to know some of the sweetest people on earth. Pedro and Camila are not the exception; together, they made us feel welcomed into their plans.  We came to the realization pretty quickly that the Castros were going to Castro, Chiloé with new but awesome chilean friends.

Camila is an elementary school teacher, while Pedro is getting his masters as a biochemist. Every day, Pedro meets with students and shares the love of Jesus with his fellow classmates as well as to his professors. On this four day adventure that we found oureslves in, I took the liberty to document the love they've had for two years as a married couple; their anniversary happens to fall just a few days before ours. Needless to say, December is a magical month in which love reigns. We wish Pedro and Camila a happy anniversary and many many more years for them to grow in love. 

Cory and Angela

This past week we were in Bogotá, Colombia on a prayer and planning conference. We had one day to go to Cerro Monserrat, where you can view the whole city. What a beautiful sight it was! But during this trip, our missionary friends Angela Hogan and Cory Hogan were willing to be my models once I begged them to let me take pis of them lol! This was a 'just because session'. These pictures were taken on the cathedral that was on top of Monserrat. In one of the pictures you can see a mountain behind Cory and Angela; this other mountain was were the monastery is located. What a beautiful view with beautiful people!

 

Whitney Harr

San José has become very dear to me recently. It rains almost every day. The "rainy season" starts in May and runs all the way through November. It is unlike my dear Ireland where it's always cold when it rains, but I am content with the mere fact that cloudy days fill my week.

Not too long ago we welcomed in the new students that are now attending CINCEL. One of them, Whitney Harr, is heading to Nicaragua to work with high school/ college aged student, as well as many other opportunities that may come her way. Whitney is here for eight months and has adjusted well to the culture. She loves to cook, bake, and make new friends. In fact, no too long ago, she was teaching me how to make a homemade apple pie. Ya'll... it was delicious. Whitney is one of ten siblings, she is 6 feet tall and has gorgeous eyes. She truly captivates anyone that stands in her way, she is what many call: beautiful inside and out.

On the day of the shoot we headed out after a rainy afternoon to catch a few shots just right before sundown. I wanted some dark and moody tones and I sure got them! Thanks Whitney for being an awesome model!
