Hi All! Just wanted to let you know I am doing FREE sessions for Military families through Christmas. If you know someone out there that has a spouse that is deployed and wants photos of theirself with their kids or just pics of the kids I want to shoot them! Not only will I be doing the session free but I'll also be making a show of the images (if they want me to ) to share with them overseas. Holidays are an even tougher time four our service Men and Women and I would love to give them amazing art of their family to make their holiday a little brighter. Spread the word and tell them to call me asap, I'll take good care of them, but then again you already knew that right!

Thanks Friends!

Almost there!


It's been a marathon this month of shooting, editing and posting! I'm almost caught up on the all the recent work here at the studio and thought I'd let everyone know this post and all the others after it will beat my current record for blog postings in one month!

Ashley's Portrait Art Session




Ashley is a friend of mine who asked if I could do her senior pictures. I was so excited to do them but had to wait months and months cause she wanted them in the fall. It was well worth the wait because she was a great senior & she was very photogenic! We had a blast during her session! I was excited about how they turned out and hope she is too!

Marissa and Scott's E-Session




Marissa and Scott met me at Cox for their engagement session last week, and I think it was just in time too! The weather held out for us and I think we got the tail end of the pretty fall leaves! They giggled through the whole session, I love to see a couple being cute together! Looking forward to the wedding next year, shame we have to wait 11 more months to see them again!

Kasey and Nick's E-Session


It's been a while since I've been to Polen Farm so I was really excited to meet Kasey and Nick for their E-Session there last week. Nick and Casey are such a cool couple, Easy going and up for anything! After we finished at Polen we went over for some ice cream at Freindly's where they had their first date! I'm really glad we get to do their wedding it sounds like a blast! We'll see you guys in a few months! Click here to see the show full size.-Nick


Jessica, Josh and Blake's



Jessica and Josh are getting married next Fall and I was really excited to get out and shoot them last week with all the fall color. I was also stoked that they could bring their son Blake for some family photos too! I love to get the chance to warm up to the little ones in the wedding party, especially when they will be such an important part of the wedding. Blake was a great little sport about it too, I could tell he just started walking because every time Grandma put him down he took off like he was running a marathon! He was quite adorable!

Melinda and Bo's E-Session



Melinda and Bo joined me downtown last week for their engagement session. We did a 2 hour tour of some of my fun little spots, and ended at Cox for the great fall leaves. We really had a nice time, they're a great couple! Looking forward to next October Melinda and Bo! -Nick

Amanda and Mike's E-Session






We just barely made the beautiful leaves with Amanda and Mike last week! They are good friends of Molly and Gabe, a couple we shot last December. They really remind me of them too, Mike and Gabe are in Law School and their better halves are both teachers! Lookig forward to the wedding Amanda and Mike! -Nick

Amanda, Alex, Heather and Dave's E-Session


Nope they're not all getting married at once! We tried a little something different with their E-Session, they brought props: Alex's Cobra Mustang and his Best Man and Amanda's Maid of Honor. It was awesome to meet Dave and Heather before the wedding, even cooler to go shoot with them. I think we ended up shooting for 2 and a half hours or so, but we ended at Cox for some really spectacular leaves shots on the ever dangerous drive way of doom! We survived and made it back to my next E-Session with Brian and Nicole who coincidentally work with Amanda, and after all talking together we found out that Amanda passed my name along to Nicole! Small world, huh! Amanda and Alex are one of those super cool couples everyone is friends with, I can just tell! One great couple introduced me to my next great couple!

Alicia and Greg's E-Session


Alicia and Greg are good friends with friends of mine Michelle and Dan, whos wedding we shot last May. They're getting married next weekend in Columbus so we met for their engagement session and wedding schedule all at once to mark off two to-do's on their list at once! Usually I have to be the funny one at a session but They had me laughing the whole time! They really got me when we talked about what they wanted for their day, I could just really tell all that mattered to them was spending time with their family and enjoying the time they have together with everyone! It's going to be my kind of wedding and I'm super stoked for it! Click here to see the show full size. -Nick
