About Sparks Photography:
Sparks Photography started in San Antonio, Texas and has since moved from Eastern Oklahoma all the way to Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. I'm in love with what I do and am very honored to be a witness to so many special moments in people's lives and to be there to document it for them.
These families have to be some of the sweetest people I know! We know the Zielkes from BRCC as well and Jenni’s parents and sisters (and soon to be brother-in-law) also came so they could do some extended family photos.
I love sisters. I love how they look alike and interact together. The Birkeneder girls are just so darn cute too! Thanks for bearing the heat with me everyone! Hope we’ll be seeing you again soon!
The Whitakers are one of the awesome families that we became friends with via our church BRCC in San Antonio. They’ve had another little one since we saw them last summer. Aren’t the girls adorable?! They both have such beautiful hair and eyes!
They were real troopers for these photos too. It was I think about 103 degrees on the Riverwalk that day. Wonder what the heat index was! In the short amount of time we were shooting, we got some great ones!
Rebecca is expecting their second little boy in just a few weeks! She contacted me several months ago once she learned that I lived in Germany as well. She was referred to me by Jessica from San Antonio!
We live about 3 hrs away from the Rivas family but it we were happy to come out. They happen to live near the largest base in Germany and we sometimes refer to it as Little America. They have a Chili’s and soon a Macaroni Grill! That’s very exciting for us Americans in Europe. We shot the portraits at Burg Nanstein in Landstuhl.
It was nice to meet you all! Thanks for the fun afternoon of shooting. And Rebecca, you’re gorgeous!
You might recognize little Jake from photos we did a few months ago. He came back for his 1 yr photos and to eat a little cake!
The other reason was to take some maternity photos of Jessica. And we did these just in time! Little Abigail decided to show up a month early! She and mommy are doing great and I’ll post a few photos of her in a few days. Congratulations Kimberling family!
Anne and Patrick are getting married in August and they’ll be the second wedding I’ve shot here in Germany. I wrote to Patrick last summer in response to an online inquiry about wedding venues in this part of the country. I replied with a shameless plug for my photography in lieu of a venue suggestion. 6 months later, Patrick and Anne got back in touch and were very interested in working with me. Hooray for the wonderful interweb and the messaging forums =)
We shot their engagement session on the grounds of the Schloss Dyck where they will hold their reception. The castle is amazing but so are the grounds surrounding it. Beautiful couple, beautiful location, what more could I ask for?
