Katie, Trey & Madeline...

I thought I had some great places to shoot around my house... The W's have 14 acres of great places to shoot!!! It is sooo beautiful there right now! The time change didn't give us much...well..time so I asked if I could come back tomorrow to finish up photographing the fam with some great natural light. I'm sure the kids are thrilled about getting dressed in their best again!! CLICK HERE for a sneak peek of our quick session this evening..more to follow!

And if you aren't in the spirit yet...

Santa Baby....I'd like a unique holiday card this year!

Yippeee! The 2009 Holiday Card designs are here and ready for your viewing pleasure! I just love them this year...but I loved them last year too. I guess that's the advantage of having your own business - you get to pick out the best of the best AND the ones that fit my style! I wouldn't want to put one of my clients' picture on ugly christmas card...now would I? I'm too vain to stoop that low. :)
Hurry, hurry and CLICK HERE to see some of the cutest families (and cards for that matter) in town!

Good Times!

Weston & Cooper

Weston & Cooper could care less they were at a Photo Shoot..and that's what made the best pictures. They found a huge stick - well, a tree branch, and decided to take it for a hike. They were too much fun! CLICK HERE for a sneak peek of our session.

Here's one of my favorites of Cooper and his Mommy.

Always a bridesmaid and now a Bride!

I *heart* Christie and Bill. Christie has such a great laugh and I just thoroughly enjoyed photographing her. We got so many beautiful shots of the both of them and the day went by so fast I honestly didn't want it to end. We set up the Photo Booth and we must have photographed every person at that wedding reception. From 90 to 6 years old - I think everyone stopped by to be a part of their wedding day. CLICK HERE to see a sneak peek of Christie & Bill's wedding day:


Francie's wedding - I spy Christie!


Carolyn's wedding - Whhhheeeere's Christie?


Christie's wedding - She's the one in white this time. :)

Facebook Fan Page..

If you aren't on Facebook, well, you must be living in a cave somewhere out in Alaska freezin' your buns off eating push-pops. It's an addiction..pure addiction. So, of course, I started a facebook page for Nicole C. Photography. Check it out! You can even become a fan and post comments, see some of my latest pictures, videos and find out when I'm hosting mini-sessions! C'mon...bloggin' is sooo 1985. :)

Who doesn't love a good Photo Booth?

I seriously have the BEST time when I set up one of these! Here's a few from the Photo Strips from Christie and Bill's absolutely fabulous wedding!!

Megan & Matt...

I don't even know where to begin. I can say...absolutely breathtaking. Every minute with them was incredible. Megan has such an eye for detail and I seriously could have photographed her all day long. Mark and I had a total blast shooting their wedding day. Can I just say...I really have the best job in the whole world. CLICK HERE for a sneak peek (there's so much more!!!) of Megan & Matt's wedding day:

The Boss' Movie

Bea has been asking me for weeks to do her 'movie.' I don't think she understands that I've been a little busy. So tonight..I'm doing her movie. Every year I do a little photo session of Bea and her best friend from Kindergarten in Kentucky. Now, in her kindergarten class there were 16 kids and only 3 girls. But the nice thing about them being so little is that it doesn't matter who you play with! I'm sure in a few years they'll be 'weird' about doing a photo session together. I hope not because right now they are just so darn cute! CLICK HERE to see a sneak peek of Bea & her BFF, Brendan.

Golf Cart VS. Photographer...

Mark was in the middle of shooting the bridal party on a golf cart and one of the groomsman (who was sitting shotgun) put his foot on the gas and the golf cart TOOK OFF!!! Mark's camera took a swerve when it hit the side of the cart and punched him in the nose! Now, mind you, this was about 10:30pm and there were a few cocktails in hand. Mark takes some beautiful candids but this one - well, we'll call it an action shot. The groomsman didn't know Mark was on the back of the golf cart and 'gassed it' as soon as Mark snapped the picture:

Kate & Matt's Wedding album...

just a sneak peek!

Christine & Richards Wedding Album...

some pages from their beautiful album:

Emilee & Family

Emilee seriously..could pass for a real, live Cabbage Patch Doll. I gave her 'movie' one of my favorite songs. Remember when you were in high school and you had a 'song' with your boyfriend? Yeah, this was mine. I even remember who the boyfriend was. They probably don't 'have' songs anymore. I'm old school. So here's to Emilee and her perfect little self! CLICK HERE to view a sneak peek of our session together:

The Forts!

Andrew has such beautiful blue eyes and crazy, wild blonde hair. He's absolutely adorable. I shot his parents wedding awhile back and talk about a good time! They are two of the sweetest people I know and definitely made for each other! CLICK HERE to see a sneak peek of our session together:

Jackson & Landon

Just gorgeous! Jackson didn't say much to me but Landon had plenty to say! And HUGE baseball fans. Once we got out the bat, Jackson was in 7th heaven! He forgot all about taking pictures and we got some great candids of him.

Kella and family

Kella was my littlest and last session on Sunday. She was just a little over 2 weeks old. She was such a good baby the entire time and SOOO alert the whole time! I was hoping she might pass out while I was there so I could get a few more sleepy shots...she must have really liked me and wanted to keep the conversation going. So here's to being brand spankin' new and finishing out the day with the littlest for last! CLICK HERE for a sneak peek:

Mac & Maddy

Mac is a regular. I've got the best picture of him in the studio drinking a juice box in his unmentionables when he was much smaller. It's a 20x24 - nice,large print he can show his future wife many years from now. He's alwasy been rough and tumble since I've known him. During our session he was busy eyeballing every tree he thought he might climb. His little sister Maddy looks just like her mommy. Blonde, wispy hair..big brown eyes! She's just a perfect little girl. CLICK HERE for a sneak peek of our session:

sweet little collage for Alex & Andrew...

A canvas for Kate..

Two samples for her mommy - 20x20 in size.

Isabelle & Caitlin

Chrissy and Mike have been my friends for a long time. I know Chrissy is my friend because she puts up with my you-know-what. She knows me pretty well and she still sticks around. That's a friend. Isabelle & Caitlin are her little girls. One with big brown eyes and the other with bright blue eyes..asolutely adorable! Caitlin has had her fair share of tough times since she was born...but she's a rock. A little, strong rock with a really BIG heart. So this song is for her. CLICK HERE for a sneak peek of our session together:

Rudi & his crew.

Oh my! Rudi! He melts my heart. Maybe it's the brown eyes that I'm a sucker for..or maybe it's just his super sweet personality. Either way, he takes beautiful pictures. CLICK HERE to see a sneak peek of our session:

Alex, Andrew & Lydia

These guys were oozing with cuteness! I seriously almost packed them up into my camera bag and brought them home. I don't think, for one minute, their smiles left their faces. We really had so much fun together! CLICK HERE to see a sneak peek of our session:

Victoria & Julia

Julia has the biggest, sweetest smile you've ever seen in your whole life! Her happiness is contageous and when I look at her images it makes me smile too. They are just a great family to be around.

Tad, Mitchel & Georgia

When I got to the 'D's house Georgia let me in. I don't think she stopped chatting with me the entire session. It was like we were old friends and this was really the first time she met me. Tad & Mitchel were the same way. So much fun to photograph. It was like they had known me for years! We had such a great time and really got so many touching candids of their family. We did a few posed but even those are warm and fuzzy!

Robin...

Robin and I got together to update her portfolio. She's an aspiring model/actress and already works in the industry. She's been a dancer her whole life and does moves that would require a neck and back brace if I attempted it. She's so much fun to work with and easy to photograph. I had some fun ideas I wanted to try out on her which required her athletic ability..I think she might have needed a nap after our session. Here's a few:
