When we brought our adopted daughter home from Ethiopia, we
felt like we needed a special photographer to help commemorate the unbelievable
pride and joy we were experiencing. Because we were in the midst of such
an extraordinary time in our family’s history, we really wanted a photographer
to capture at least a small glimpse of what we were feeling, which I thought
could be impossible. Our family was not hoping for just another nice
family portrait to keep in a frame, but rather a unique treasure---a photograph
that told our story and reached into the center of our hearts.
Julizza met with our family before our session to listen and
hear more about our journey of becoming a family of five. She
incorporated our ideas and asked just the right questions to help us have a
warm, calm experience. We felt so blessed to find a photographer who
cared about capturing the story we were living right at that moment. Any
client of Capturing Creations will quickly learn that Julizza will invest in
your family and in what matters to you. As a Christian photographer, she
knows that her creator cherishes His people, and just like her creator, she
finds beauty in the life stories that are being written in her clients.
Through her photos, she desires to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of
God’s people. Her passion is to love God and to pour into others through
her gift of photography.
I love being surrounded by our
portraits. They are a continual reminder of God's faithfulness in guiding
and equipping us through every step of our adoption journey. God has
written such a beautiful story in our lives, and we are thankful to have images
that remind us of God's everlasting presence. Our first family picture
including our Amara hangs above my mantle and makes me smile every day.
Julizza has truly given our family such a great gift. After working
with a photographer who is passionate about bringing stories to life, I know
this is what I continually desire in my photographs in the future.
Wherever you are in your story, it has tremendous value to
God and to Julizza. Whether your journey brings you to a life milestone or just
a simple day at the park, she will use her passion for story to help create a
photograph that mirrors the very things that are important to you. For
us, she helped us frame a little girl who came all across the world to join our
family. I’m confident God can help her frame your story as well. We are
so grateful for Julizza, her faith, and her willingness to share her gifts with
us.
