Favourite Family Candid

I was so excited that I was able to take the Miller family's portrait. They are such a beautiful family and everyone really participated in the shoot. Even the pets!

I need to take a quick break before I finish off my last family portrait before Christmas to share a little magic from the shoot.

Hope you like it! I know this photo made me smile!

Album Design

What kind of album design do you prefer?

The simple one page one photo look?

The collaged photo look?

The vector look?

Leather, Fabric, Buckram, Imagewrap, and oooooh the options.

I just started to designing them this year and everyone has their own taste.

They take hours of careful design and aperature alignment but do they ever look pretty on your coffee table.

Our albums start at $100 and they are worth every penny! Come into the studio and take a look sometime!

Hello, Max, You are Finally Here!

The ring my cousin is wearing was his father's and his Grandfather's before that. It is given to the first child who has the first born grandchild.

My cousin Tyler and his fiance, Jessica have been loving every minute of their newborn son's life. He was born at 7:03am at 9lbs 3oz. and he made his mum and dad wait 6 days from his due date.

Here's his first professional photo taken by his personal paparazzi and very proud, Auntie...eeer, well his second cousin but that just sounds awkward! He even smiled for the camera. He's living up to his name, Little Monkey!

Congratulations to my newest family, Tyler, Jessica, and Maxmillian! Love to you all!

Love , Auntie Nicole

(sounds better than Second Cousin Nicole)

Closer to the end of year and new beginings

My Photography Intern- Jade

It has been a while since my last entry but it was a nice surprise to see that I have 5 (yes five) blog followers. So a big thank-you to those of you who like to read about my life and my latest photo works.

Well things have been wonderfully crazy-busy- just the way we like it! With wedding season wrapping up, we are going head-on into the fun Christmas season. I love meeting all my new families and their friends but I also enjoy seeing my regular clients. It's a great chance to find out how their lives have progressed but also see their little ones grow up! I swear these kids have Wheaties for breakfast everyday because I swear they've grown a foot since last December!

Not only am I passionate about my work; but also by my clients who inspire me to capture the very best days of their lives!

Now having said that, we were presented with an amazing opportunity to take on a intern. Her name is Jade and she is very interested in photography and eager to learn all that I can teach her. When Jade isn't cuddling her five month old baby girl, Avery, she's snuggling her partner, Doug whom she affectionately calls, Bear. I can't wait to meet your beautiful family at our portrait session!

I would like to take time to welcome Jade to Nicole Brown Photography. I believe that this placement will be beneficial for the both of us!

Other news, are you still reading on?

I am happy to announce that I will be assisting in Hawaii this December with my partner Helene Cornell.

I have tons of ideas for the shoots and cannot wait for all the fabulous photo shoots there. I will be doing a Jungle Booty Session there too. Stay tuned!!!

Just wanted to keep you in the loop of what's happening in the studio! Thanks for reading my blog! :)

Wilina, Andrew, Ashley, and Rachael

Another year went by so fast! I was thrilled to get a call from one of my favourite clients to photograph their family again this year!

You might remember me saying from last year's shoot, I knew it was going to be good because their daughter, Ashley answered the door and gave me a hug! So sweet and it was a great shoot!

Wilina came to me the year before because she wanted to have a fun experience with her family photos. She wanted something unique and she wanted to feel relaxed as she had her photo captured. I was happy to make a house call-as we say in our business! With our service, we do on location as well as studio sessions. We go out of our way to make your photography experience a happy one. Plus with children it's better to be in your own environment anyways- in case you need to do an outfit change or rearrange hair.

Here are a couple of fun captures from the day.

Your Christmas cards are going to be amazing Wilina and Andrew!

Can't wait to see you next year!

Thanks for assisting, Shealyn!

Baby Zoey

Here's a little teaser from our shoot with Teri, Bill, and Baby Zoey...

I really enjoyed assisting you again, Shealyn!

Mrs. G, Don't Trash your Dresses!

OK, I have been cloud nine as of late as I finish a great wedding season and start my super holiday season. I think I have the best job in the entire world!
As an artist, I have to take time to breathe, try out new techniques, sharpen my skills, and sink my teeth into an project for art's sake. I love, "Don't Trash the Dress" sessions because they combine all these elements plus they're so much fun to shoot and we're in no hurry trying to get to the church on time.
Don't Trash the Dress sessions are a great way for not only a bride to say, "Sayanora" to her Vera Wang but a great way to add new memories into that gown. Remember how beautiful you looked on your wedding day? Why not change your look and take your dress out again before you drop it off at the drycleaners? Surprise your husband with that sassy modern bride chic we know every wife has! Our sessions are guaranteed to me you look amazing and we'll take you through several locations to get that editorial look!
Mrs. G surprised everyone on her wedding day as she danced to a secretly chroreograohed routine with her husband, Tony to, "I Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing in her second gown (The Princess Dress)!
It seemed appropriate that she had one more surprise for groom! She took out BOTH of her dresses to bid farewell to them.
Just like any other supermodel, Jasmine had to board a plane in two hours for Calgary after the shoot...Oh, the life of a supermodel!



Here are a couple of photos from our, "Don't Trash the Dress" session in Deep Cove!

Let me know what you think! Thanks again, Jasmine for asking me to help [not] Trash your Dress.

Thanks, Shealyn for assisting and also our lighting tech, Steve for help!
