Our latest Stick Of The Week! is Georgina Gomez. Georgina is in the NOW as owner and photographer at Georgina Gomez Photography. Georgina currently lives in New York City with her husband, Matt and her camera. She is a mother to four kids, Nicole age 27, Joey age 23, Gabrielle age 19 and Matthew age 16.
"My photos are as diverse as the city I live in. I photograph what inspires me, not limiting myself to just one genre. I've photographed animals at the Bronx Zoo, beautiful landscapes inside Central Park, breathtaking skylines, as well as many great people in my street photography collection."
Tell us about your NOW (Noodle On the Wall).
I have always loved photography. I've always driven my kids crazy taking photos of them. In 2012, I received my first DSLR camera for Christmas. I've been hooked on photography ever since.

Is your NOW simmering, al dente or fully cooked and why?
Simmering. I'm always passionate about this form of art. It never gets dull. There is always something to photograph, especially living in New York City. I don't think my passion will ever be fully cooked. If it becomes that, then it's over right?

What inspires you as a Mom and as a creative person?
As a mom I'm inspired every day by my children. But my life is not just about my kids. I wanted something for me. Something I could be proud of, and possibly earn money doing. Photography has given me that. I feel very strongly that as mothers we must also invest in ourselves, it makes us a better person, mother and wife.

How do you juggle Mamahood and your NOW?
There really is no juggle. I have four kids aged from 27 down to 16. So I have free time for myself.
