Local Musician (Albuquerque Musician Photographer

Wilson Rodriguez has a very interesting life story from that of playing music in the NY substations to today back in Albuquerque working on a new album.



Sometimes in photo shoots I take some photos that have nothing to do with subject because well it was just a beautiful moment. But don't worry they are normally far and few between!

Attitude

I have come to place in photographer where I find that I have a job that I honestly am not in the least bit thrilled to do. None the less, I took the job, prayed over it and for the desire to do it. I have already done the photo shoot portion of the job, but have yet to edit the photos. The photo shoot went fine, and I am still extremely thankful my husband came along with me. But, now I am at the editing process, and I really do not want to stare at this subject’s face for hours editing the photos.

Yesterday, I began to tell my mentor about this and found myself thinking “why am I acting so self-righteously?” It is true, I do not want to edit these photos because I have looked down on this person and do not care for their way of life. I feel sad for this person but that is the extent of my “positive” emotions towards them. I then realized I am no better. I am a sinner, unclean, unworthy of salvation, redemption with a Holy and Righteous God. Why then am I looking at this person as if I am somehow better than them? Why, because I am too a sinner, in desperate need of a savior.

Father forgive my self-righteousness, and let me not continue to dwell in my sin.

I can see why now the Lord called me to photography. Because of all jobs, it is the most challenging and pushing of my sin to be revealed and worked through by His amazing Holy Spirit.

Today I must edit these photos, and I pray that I would not edit them for the sake of man but for making beauty out of what the Lord has given me. Sometimes you are given a pile of rubbish and you must make it into a reflection of the Beauty and Glory of our Lord. This is the challenge of being a photographer, and I cannot wait to see the beauty the Lord makes of it.

Erin & Dan + 2 (Albuquerque Maternity Photographer)

I have to say pregnancy sessions have been the hardest yet to do, but for that reason I think they are that much more fun! Where ever there is a challenge it is a wonderful place to pray and see the amazing things God can do! That He did with Erin and Dan. They are both chiropractors and just very cute, I cannot wait to meet the two little ones cooking in the oven! I hope you enjoy these photos. :)

This photo below was such a God moment. When I originally took the photo I took the photo portrait, which left a bodiless Dan behind Erin; at the time I was wondering "I'm not sure why I'm having them pose like this, but they are here ready to go" so I took the photo. Later while editing I cropped the photo without Erin's head in the picture, and I have to say it was one of my favorite photo from the shoot.
