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!

What designs do you like?

Love

Did I mention how much I love my husband? He has been working non-stop on our new photo studio. He's dry walling and mudding...and soon he'll be painting.
One day we'll have a hard wood floor to dance on and strobes to flash on a muslin backdrop!
Tern Studio coming soon this fall....

Go, Kevin, go!
Love you like crazy! xoxo

Independant Baby

The Nine Month mark has really made me realize that my baby is becoming a very independent little person. She sneaks into the diaper bag and steals her favorite crackers, demands to hold the bottle herself, and likes to help me diaper her. What's toddler-hood going to be like? What is teenage-hood going to be like? I'm enjoying this every step of the way! This stage is my favorite stage....I've been saying that everyday since she was born.
I love being a parent.

First Father's Day

I would like to wish my loving, amazing, and supportive husband a very Happy First Father's Day! You are such a great father to Kennedy. I love seeing your big strong arms holding our sweet little daughter. You work so hard for our family.
She's the best part of you and me. Love you with all my heart!
-Nicole

PS: Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. Especially those celebrating their First Father's Day.

Thanks

Just wanted to let my clients and friends know that I'm waiting for my new Nicole Brown website to finally go live!
Thanks for all of your support for my photography over the years! I'm looking forward to the new company and new outlook of photography!

Building a Mystery

My clients have been asking me what we're having. My husband and I wanted to save it as a surprise. We nicknamed our baby the "Little Mystery".

Well, The Little Mystery has been solved....Kennedy Brown has arrived!

Kennedy was 8 pounds 12 oz. 22 inches long and was born 1231h.

She is that beautiful brown eyed girl I have been dreaming about! So lovely!

We're recovering well and sleeping when we can. And sometimes we even let Grandma hold her! :)

Thanks for your notes and well wishes!

My Little Mystery

I'm doing a cardinal sin. Our first family photo and I decided to look at the baby instead of looking at the photographer. I'm totally fired from this modelling gig.

My little one, Kennedy arrived on the first day of Autumn. I have been taking a breath to enjoy every minute of being a mum. They say you have no idea what love is until you look into the eyes of your child. I get that now. I have been seeing that expression on all my new parents for years...now I finally understand.

Thank you for sharing your most important moments with me- it's nice to shine a light on my own with you. Thank you for your support on this journey!

Lovely Leilani

Oh my goodness, this has been a really special time waiting for my own first child to arrive but even more special because I have had my sister in law, Jennie-Lynne waiting for her first child to arrive too. We were due 6 days apart. I was hoping to go into labour at the same time. Oh well, that dream didn't happen!

Her Little Angel arrived on my due date September 13, 2008.

Leilani, is so perfect in every way. She has the sweetest disposition, lovely full pink lips, and the most perfect little hands. Seriously, her hands are like butter! It's almost like she arrived with a perfect manicure.

She is lovely at 22.5 inches and 9 pounds 6 ounces. I'm in love!

Congratulations, Jen and Andy on your beautiful daughter!
Welcome to the world, Leilani!

The Bell of the Ball- The Art of Wedding and Special Event Photography while Pregnant

Well, I certainly am the BALL of the ball! Here I am after my last wedding of the season.
I wanted to show you what I look like currently after photographing my last wedding of the year! I'm expecting a baby September 13. Nope, it's not all the wedding feasts at the Empress making me rotund!

I am currently on Maternity leave but I will be returning soon. My associate photographer, Helene sent me this fabulous shot working.

My trusted associated photographer's, Adam and Helene have taken over. I'll just wait here until baby arrives...and wait...
* I just realized when I looked through the selects that the filename on the photo is basketball. Thanks a lot, Helene! :)
