Different.  Let yourself be open to move, to create, to move away from what you see everyday in family photos.  To Laugh, to experience, and to remember that experincce with the photos.  I am so lucky to have clients that break away from the mold, who want photos that are not like their friends, thank you for loving the different.

A Day at The Beach, Family Photographs

July 21, 2020 by Nicole Caldwell

This is the goal of the family photograph, this image..  Seconds before the little one to the right was posing behind Mom and Dad, then decided we got the shots and off she went.  Genius. For Safety we stayed one “Zebra” distance away- brilliant reference for the kiddos.  I wore a facial covering the whole time, as the family did walking to the spot and back. Thank you! These girls are so fun. Looking forward to working with you again. […]

Classic Family Studio Portraits and of course, Bubbles.

February 25, 2020 by Nicole Caldwell

“You’re the best Nicole, we absolutely love working with you.” – Nayeli  I LOVE a classic portrait in the studio, simple, no props, well one prop,  The bubble machine.  It seems more fun for the parents than the kiddos, or perhaps I have the most fun, but the point is, it’s fun.  I want the experience to be fun, so when you look back on the photos, you remember that time with your family, how FUN it was.
