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!

Valerie and Chris in North Dayton






I met Valerie and Chris a week prior to their wedding. That may be the fastest I've ever booked a client for their wedding, but all it means is I didn't have to wait so long to work with great people. I knew right away I was going to love working with Valerie because she's just the nicest person she could possibly be. I knew working with Chris was going to be great because all Valerie could say was how great he was! I agree with them both. :) We had the nicest possible day you could ask for in January, and did we take advantage of it! We shot everything outside like it was the middle of June. When you have a nice couple like this that really lets you do awesome stuff for them, I say run with it and have fun! And that's just what we did.

Thanks Valerie and Chris you guys were awesome, and Blake and I loved wotking with your families & wedding party everyone was great. -Nick

We Moved... AGAIN!


Well what can I say, the spot in Mason just wasn't for us! We missed our Dayton Customers and the building was not a good fit. So last week we moved into our new studio in Downtown Lebanon. (The photo is the before) This should bring us closer to our Dayton customers and be a great fit for a studio. I love Dayton, I will always love it and I will ALWAYS SHOOT WEDDINGS THERE! 808 Studios is committed to our customers and friends in Dayton, Cincinnati & Columbus and we hope you love our new studio as much as we do. Lebanon has already brought us new friends and great relationships and we see ourselves here for many years to come. If you're in town or want to make an appointment to come by we would love to see you! Come on in, enjoy the images and have a Coke with Blake and I this new place is really something to see! -Nick

What a fun place for a quick E-Session! I met Caitlin and Todd out near their home in Yellow Springs. Kind of a crummy day but we made the best of it and they didn't mind a bit. Great buildings too, Love the old worn brick in the alley! Nice to finally meet you Todd, and great to see you again Caitlin! See you guys in Cleveland for the wedding!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! Booyah! -Nick

Brittany and David all around Cincinnati!






Well I thought it was just going to be a nasty day out with the rain we had a few hours prior to shooting with Brittany and David and I was really looking forward to shooting with them. Lucky for us the heavens opened up and gave us some gorgeous lighting and a very colorful sky. It turned out to be one of the best E-Sessions I've had in a long time! Thanks Brittany and David you guys were so much fun! Thanks for braving the cold and rain, it was definitely worth it! -Nick

The Storer family's annual Christmas shoot

So this is the 3rd year in a row I think that we've shot Chistmas pictures for Amanda and Brandon and thier daughter Savanah. What a great annual tradition! Savanah is growing up quick and she's become quite the little chatter box since I first met her when she was about 3 yrs old. She was pretty shy and didn't want anything to do with me and my camera, oh how kids change!

Colleen and Tyler's Pre-E-Session

So with all this rain I've had to reschedule every single E-Session I've booked. I had to push back Colleen and Tyler's so much that we got to Thanksgiving and still had nothing! So Thanksgiving morning I met them over at Great Wolf lodge for a few quick pics to se could make some save the dates. We even got a few family pics! -Nick

Heather and Nick in Mainstrasse!




What an awesome couple! You can tell Heather and Nick are one of those couples whose freinds with everyone and always the life of the party! We laughed through the entire E-Session and ended right at sunset with some killer shots of the Cincy skyline. Thank you SO much Heather and Nick you guys rock! -Nick
