Nickerson News

The camera was turned on us!

I will say Seth is so much more comfortable behind the camera. I kept having to grab him away from the camera and come take some pictures with me. He doesn’t realize how adorable he is. When I was editing these pictures, I was stopped in my tracks and thought to myself, “hubba hubba…I have a hottie hubby!”

Thanks to our dear friend and photographer, Heather Neely, we were able to pull off this mini session. She brought her family to the field and the boys ran around with the ticks as we manage to get a few pictures. I’m really happy with how they came out and am just glad we were able to keep Abel still for a few family pictures. (something that is almost next to impossible!)

I’m 8.5 months pregnant in these photos. Just a few more weeks folks till our little girl is here. Can you even stand it? We can’t! I’m so over this whole pregnant thing and I think Seth would tell you he feels the same way. I’m sure you’ll notice Poggy has grown a bit since the last picture session of my belly.

Thanks to the Heather’s hubby, Nick, for making Abel laugh so hard.

My next few post will probably be clients of Nickerson Studios since May has been jammed packed with photography. (I’m not complaining-I love every bit of it!) I have a few more sessions and then I am done the last week in May. I might squeeze in one more in June for a special family, but I’ll surprise you if that works out.

I’m excited to take some time off and get some stuff done on the other side of the business end (you know, like paperwork and organizing of files.) This might not sound fun to most of you, but the organizer in me needs to get things in order because late Summer & Fall bring LOTS of weddings for Nickerson Studios. Watch Out! We even surprised ourselves with how much we took on, but we are excited about it.

And of course, I hope to just relax a bit before our little miss arrives. As much relaxing as the momma of Abel Anthony can do.

Newborns are my favorite to photograph (and yes, I’m sure you will see a new photo of Poggy ever day for the first month of her life!) Baby Ashlyn was every bit of precious and sweetness that a newborn brings. It was fun cuddling and feeding her and knowing soon my little one would be here.

Without further ado….meet sweet Ashlyn Reese at just 17 days old.

They call her their “little ladybug” so I thought this photo was only fitting.

I’m sure these lips get kissed a lot by mom and dad.

And we can’t leave out their first born….I love how she is looking right at Ashlyn.

Nickerson Studios is busy, busy, busy!

If you haven’t been following us on our Facebook Page or Twitter or Flickr then you wouldn’t know that we have been up to a bunch of engagement sessions. We had to pack all our Summer/Fall couples in this month since preggers doesn’t plan on booking anything in June.

We’ve had some great couples and locations. Let me just say I love working with my husband. We almost consider it a “date”. You know you are parents when you say you feel like you are on a date when you are working. Just goes to show you we love what we do!

I’ll give you a sneak peek from our latest E-Sessions and if you want to view more, just check them out on Facebook.

First, let’s start with Jessica & Mark. We actually aren’t shooting their wedding since they are getting married out of the area in July, but thankfully we had the opportunity to photograph this stylish couple. We found a great spot in DC that had many little goldmines.

View more of Mark & Jessica’s session HERE.

The next day – and this was the weekend it was 90 degrees; thankfully, I haven’t swelled up yet. I think God is just being gracious to me – we met up with the very playful and fun-loving Amanda & John. Their lives are intertwined with baseball so it was only fitting to do their session on a baseball field. After lots of email, paperwork and phone calls we were allowed to use the Potomac Nationals’ field. We had it ALL to ourselves and it was so much fun!

You can view more of Amanda & John’s session HERE.

Last Friday night, we met up with Michelle & Ryan at our favorite hidden spots in Lorton, VA. I have known Michelle since she was in diapers (seriously, my first memory of her is her & her sister running around the house in just their diapers.) We just met Ryan that night and he seems perfect for Michelle. They have great chemistry! We started off the evening with a romantic picnic and then frolicked in the long grass and beautiful evening light.

You can view more of Michelle & Ryan’s session HERE.

We have lots more in the works this month including more E-sessions, newborns & families, so stay tuned!

Last night Seth brought home something we have wanted for a long time, but felt like we needed to wait for the right time.

We are now the proud owners of a brand new Canon 5D Mark II. It’s all things lovely and wonderful.

We decided it was time for an upgrade since we have lots of weddings and sessions in 2010 and our clients deserve the best.

We hope to get lots of practice in this weekend as we have 2 engagement sessions.

Here was the first picture I snapped.

Can’t wait to get my hands on it again!
