Nickerson News

Looking through these photos reminds me how much I love the OBX. We have been going since I was a teenager and I am so grateful that my parents made it a priority to go on vacation every year to this wonderful spot. It feels like home when we are there. I have so many great memories on this beach.

We made it a priority on Monday night to head to the beach for all the family photos.

My hubby is CUTE!

So hard to get a family picture of the four of us!!!

We seriously took 15 pictures of this shot and this is the best we could get. Josh looks like he is in pain and Abel refuses to sit still for a picture.

Someone wasn’t happy.

Sage, you are just so kissable we can’t help ourselves!

The swipper swipes again.

My dad needed a picture of his 3 girls. He is the sweetest!

You aren’t fooling anyone, Abe, that smile is so fake.

Oh, Natalie, she is just breathtaking….

My mother swears Abel will be a huge tennis pro someday….

He actually was begging to play every day and that makes my mom very happy.

He and his daddy made his shirt.

Look at that form!

Extremely foggy day! If he is a tennis star, we will know who to thank….his adoring Nonni.

His sister is one of his biggest fans.

Say what you want about my beast double stroller, but I think it rocks. This baby can transport so much stuff and KIDS. I can easily tote around 3 kids. Two preschoolers (yes 2) PLUS  a 20+ baby with a huge bag of pool gear and whatever else I want. I’m easily pushing more than I weigh.

I was begging the kids to take a picture with me. As their mom, I just want to document that we WERE having a good time on vacation! ha!

This girl never stops moving. Love her little bathing suit body.

She is getting to be such a daddy’s girl. Once he walks in the door from work, I am chop liver.

Another one who thinks Uncle Graham is hilarious.

Graham doesn’t have to say anything, but somehow the kids get so crazy around him and are always laughing. We love you, Uncle Graham!

Whenever we can find matching outfits for all 3 girls, we roll with it. However, trying to get them in one shot for a decent picture is almost impossible.

And I call myself a photographer…I can’t even pull off a picture of my family.

Some ice cream and mini golf.

The last day on the beach was very overcast, but it was still beautiful and Seth could finally move a little more on the last day to somewhat enjoy himself. It was bad folks. He couldn’t even pull his toast out of the toaster oven. Thankfully, he is doing much better.

Check out those front teeth. Those babies were 3 weeks of sleepless nights.

She is a CLIMBER!

Matching tutus!

A little go cart fun before heading back home.

If you haven’t made a trip to the OBX, I highly recommend Corolla, NC. You won’t be disappointed.

Until next year…

We left for a much needed vacation last Sunday. It wasn’t as relaxing as we had hoped for, but it was still wonderful to get away and be with my awesome family.

We love the OBX! We love the stunning house my parents rent every year. The view from the house is just breathtaking and we are so grateful that my parents allow us all to come stay at their house every year and love up on our kids all week.

However, this year 2 things happened that we weren’t expecting. Seth pulled his back out so bad that he could barely move. We even had to make a trip to the chiropractor while down there to give him some relief. So long for tennis and riding the waves this year for Seth. On Wednesday, we got a call from our neighbors letting us know that our kitchen somehow flooded and my beautiful cork floors were ruin. It was a bit devastating and sad, but after lots of prayer God gave us a peace and we are praising God that our insurance (We love USAA!!!) is covering everything. We also couldn’t have done this without our awesome neighbors, Jen & Dennis, who really stepped up and helped us while we were away of vacation. They put in lot of hours cleaning up the water in our house and meeting with contractors while we were away. We are so thankful to God for them! Seriously, if you don’t know your neighbors, you need to get out of your house and meet some awesome neighbors who can help you out in times like this. Not to mention, God calls us to love our neighbors.

I’ll be back with more OBX pictures, but a contractor is showing up at my door any minute.

We love July 4th! I think we pulled off a decent picture this year.

Sadly, this is about the only picture I got of just the two of them together. They sure give me a really hard time when I try to get a picture of them.

He HATES the ocean water and screams louder every inch he gets closer to the water.

Sage loves the water. I’m telling you this girl is fearless. She giggled with more delight the bigger the waves crushed onto her.

 

 

 

I can’t believe Nickerson Studios finally has a new website!!!!

This baby took 9 months to create and it really felt like birthing a baby! Not to mention how proud I am of this new baby. My hubby did an amazing job designing this site. He poured many countless hours into this website and it shows. I’m so proud of him! We have a little more work to put into it, but it is a beauty and was very much needed since our business is growing. We give all the credit to God! Five years ago we would not have seen ourselves as Wedding Photographers, but clearly the Lord had other plans for us. It is an honor to work beside the man I adore and admire. I’m so thankful for this business. Thank you to all our clients!

Be sure to add Nickerson Studios to the list of blogs you read as I will be posting our latest work on the blog.

CHECK OUT THE NEW WEBSITE!

(And let us know if you find any bugs.)

Seth and I only had ONE weekend in October that we were not shooting a wedding. I was really hoping my SIL, Shauna, would have her baby before Oct. 23 so we could make a trip to see the baby. Her due date wasn’t till  Oct. 28, but Liberty Kate came on Oct. 19 so we were able to make a quick trip there. I was really hoping to squeeze in a newborn session since I did her big sister, Ruby’s, just 15 short months ago. Grandma took the kids to the park and we made it happen.

Enjoy some Libby love….
