Everyday Beauty | Guest Blog by Ginger Unzueta

I am often asked how my style evolved and what brought me to this point in my photography. It is no secret that I have a great passion for capturing the story of my children.  First and foremost, I give all the glory to God.  My passion, my talent, and my inspiration are all gifts from Him.

When my oldest daughter (who is now almost 9) was younger I took picture after picture of her smiling perfectly at me in her beautiful smocked dresses, with her pretty bows in her hair, at a planned location of choice.  Sometimes these smiles were even real and no doubt, beautiful, but I found I was bored with these pictures.  Her personality and life were missing.  There wasn't a story to them. 

I never put my camera down. I kept picking it up and capturing the beauty around me. (I have consistently taken over 1000 pictures of my own children per month for years—I KNOW, A LOT.)

I fell in love with capturing the everyday for what it is.  I fell in love with the images when my children weren't aware that I was there.  I fell in love with images where I could look back and feel the connection again.  These images told me a story that made my heart skip a beat and made me nostalgic for one reason or another.   I became so alive and passionate as I learned to capture the light and its’ glory around the scene of my children. 

I am very passionate about other mothers learning to capture these same moments with their own children.  I have teamed up with the Bloom Forum and teach a workshop entitled EVERYDAY BEAUTY.  My next class will begin July 22^nd.  You can read more about my workshop here: http://www.everythingbloom.com/workshops.  I will be announcing early registration on my facebook page and blog in early May. 

This is where I normally write a little snippet about the artist, but her about me is poetic and so much better than anything I could have hoped to write.  Her work is captivating and I love her work in my newsfeed, in fact I look forward to it.  

From her about me:

Ginger is a natural light lifestyle photographer located in Central Florida.  She is a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend.  She is a lover and seeker of the light and she longs to capture the love and connections of the people she is with.  She wants to capture the stories of today to be tetold tomorrow.  Ginger yearns to capture the beauty of the imperfect and the details of everything around her.  She strives to give back to this world;  for she has been blessed in immeasurable ways.  She looks for God's direction in all of this with hopes to fulfill His purpose for her life.
