seed | harley

so this young man I have know since he was just a very tiny seedling in his mummies tummy…… victoria is one of my closest friends and has been for years, she is on my web site in the maternity gallery with harley in her tummy! victoria was also my witness and photographer at my wedding this year and is also a  FAB makeup artist (she made me look good!!)  vicandersonmakeup  so now that harley is going to be a BIG 3 year old this week we decided it was time for an update of his portfolio…. I had been dreaming of these shots for a while and finally had a big surprise for harley when he arrived….  we started the session with a dance on the set, as you do, and then I came in with the FISH!! Oh his eyes grew so big and he was so excited, mesmerised is more like the word I am after! he played and tried to catch the fish, well the images speak for themselves….  a quick set change and we had harley playing photographer…. the camera in the shots is very very special to me, it was my DAD’s, he was an amazing photographer and loved all things film, I wish he was here to see my progress in the photography world!  off to the park next, well harley was hard to catch then….. but we had a great day, bribed him with lots of cup cakes and victoria has some amazing images of her gorgeous young boy as he grows into a strong cute little man……  HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY!!!!   love auntie mic,as harley calls me, dave and kids….. x x x

Christine - SO CUTE! :) Happy birthday!! :) xoxo

Kim - Nicole, these are devine, love the ones with the suitcase.

what we do | how we do it

here is a little look into my world….. as you know I photographed little abbey this week and well most newborns have tendency of getting baby acne, from drinking their mummys new fantastic milk!…… this is a post just to show you that once I take my amazing pictures of the gorgeous babies, the hard work really begins…..  I shot over 800 images on tuesday with abbey and firstly I need to sort these into the best images that I liked!, once that is done, I need to sort them again, to the very “BEST”  I cull and then cull again, otherwise I would end up with way too many images for the clients to see….. as you can see from my pics below, abbey did have some spots that I needed to fix in photoshop as well as adjust the exposure a little and well after a few hours of editing later, the results speak for themselves…. so if you think once Itake a picture I am all good and done think again, their is allot of behind the scene work that takes most of our time to get amazing images into your home and onto your walls!!  enjoy!!

Life with Kaishon - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Such a sweet little baby. What a pretty picture. Thanks for sharing your editing preferences.

Kellee - What porcelain perfect skin :)

seedling | abbey {more}

as you can see abbey is like a little doll in so many of my pictures…… she was such a sweet little thing and was very happy with pretty much everything I did with her, except our last shot of the day, the hanging shot in the beautiful flower fabric…. so hard to capture these shots… I will keep trying….

kylie - Your newborn work is inspiring Nicole. Love this series !
You rock !!!!
