It started in seventh grade …..

Hi I’m Nikki … Hi I’m Karen

From there on out we have been friends!

KAREN: BEING BEAUTIFUL

Last October when Karen found out her and her husband were expecting I could of not been happier for them! After Congratulations were in order then next thing I said was … you know we are doing a pregnancy session right? Little did Karen know we would be photographing in front of a bar, or in her condo bushes, but the most beautiful tress were in bloom there. Yup that’s right I made her stand right in front of a bar. Talk about torture for a pregnant mom to be! But look how beautiful she looks!

This image is one of my FAVORITE of the day … it makes her look so beautiful and also a model.

After some outdoor fun we headed inside for a more intimate approach…

How beautiful a women looks when expecting a child …

Karen you look amazing and I cannot wait to meet little baby c soon!

One sister is 2.5 the other sister is 4 months

One sister is running … the other sister is about to crawl

One thing they have in common … sisterly love

BRYNN and CAMRYN

I cannot believe how big children get and so fast! One minute they are newborns the other running around laughing. Your might remember Brynn from last year when she turned 1! Since her birthday falls right around Christmas, funny thing her birthday is 2 days before me, her Mom usually will wait till after the holiday madness for her session. This year since the family had a new arrival during the holiday session we decide to combine their session. Welcome Camryn! Camryn is about 4 months and I am looking forward to seeing her grow in the coming year.

HELLO CAMRYN!!

and now for BRYNN!!!

a little sisterly love!

Brynn and Camryn I look forward to seeing how much you grow in the fall!

Her favorite princess is Belle …

Her favorite dress is yellow ….

She pretends to be the queen of the land …

She is 3!

LITTLE OLIVIA

Little Olivia’s mom gave me a call about her 3 year old photo session. As we were talking she mentioned how Olivia’s favorite thing to do right now is play dress up and be the queen or princess of the land. Olivia’s mom was like can we capture this moment in time of her playing dress up? Answer: YES! We Must!

When a client inquires with Nikki Nicole Photography we always talk about what you, the client, is thinking about or looking for. Is it to capture a moment in time, a certain stage in life or an idea for this incredible art piece for your wall? When photographing children I always remind the parents that this session of the child is about what is going on in the NOW! What does he/she love to do? Is it dress up, fire trucks, sports … the list goes on and on. In little Olivia’s case it is playing princess dress up!

Just take a look on how much fun she is having in her princess dresses…..

After playing dress up we went outside to enjoy the spring weather …

And of course I could not leave without a couple of images of the star of the photos …. LEXI!

Little Oliva I look forward to seeing what turing 4 brings!

She’s maybe thinking an engagement will be today …. maybe someday.

They are new home owner’s.

KIM + MATT

I have know Kim for the past year from Crossfit USA. We have laughed, we have struggled with the workouts and we have become friends. So when she closed on her new home, I was excited to hear that she was interested in a new home owner session.

I have never has the request the day of a closing for a new home owner session. It was exciting! To be one of the first person to see their new home and share all their excitement with them.

This last photo is my absolute favorite of the day ….

Kim and Matt is was such an honor to be a part of your exciting day!

5 MONTHS : NATHAN

It is always such a pleasure when I get to witness children growing up. I love to see how their little personalities grow and how they become little people.

The last time I had a chance to see Nathan was when he was about 10 days old! My has he grown! He now has 2 little teeth and such a laugh!

Nathan I look forward to seeing you in a couple of months and see how you grow into a little man!

Just because she is my only Nana around,

Just because she is wise,

Just because she is always interested in me,

Just because I would of not been able to experience some things without her help,

Just because I LOVE HER!

JUST BECAUSE: SHE TURNED 84

Easter was a very special holiday this year. Yes we had the family together, yes we eat ALOT and ALOT of candy was around! But this year, for the 4th time in her life, my Nana had her birthday and turned 84! Her mother told her when she was very young that she was born on Easter and 3 other times in her life her birthday would fall on Easter. Well, great grandma was right. Because for the 4th time in her life Nana’s birthday and Easter fell together!

So here’s to you NANA! Looking wonderful and fabulous at 84!

and just because my niece is so cute, getting so big and she brings a smile on my face … a post of her as well!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
