My new BLOG is launched!! Out with the old, in with the new.

Well friends my new blog is finally up and launched! This is my last post on this blog. It was great to me and my business, but it is now time to move on to bigger things! 

Just hop on over to my new Blog at www.nicolettaphotography.com/blog or CLICK HERE

If you previously had my blog saved under your favorites, you can still do this with the new one! Thanks so much and see you on the flip side! :)

I Am Getting Plastic Surgery!!!

Yep folks. I finally caved. After living in Los Angeles for so long, the pressure finally got me. I realized today that you can never be too young for plastic surgery. So I am getting a face lift. FOR MY BLOG!!! Buh dum dum! :)

It has been on my mind a lot lately. I need something that really showcases my work and personality, and because my business has grown so much more then I could have ever imagined, I had been too busy to really get in and do it.

Today, I was trying to change my blog's look and feel and bam. I deleted all of my changes and font and color, etc. So it looks like I am being forced to just go ahead and change it already.

Please bare with me the next few days until I am able to launch the new blog! I promise it will be worth the wait kiddos.  Thank you thank you thank you!! In the meantime.. be sure to check out my new website! CLICK HERE

Here is a picture from one of my favorite couples of the past!

Kristy & Bailey - Ojai, Ca

So sometimes you have people in your life that are like mashed potatoes. Comfort food. They are the ones you go to when you are having a terrible day. When you feel like crying. When you just need to come home, throw on your sweats, curl up on the couch and eat something that makes you feel like a kid again. Not all the veggies you stock your fridge up with for your every day eating. Well.. Kristy is my mashed potato! :)

I have been friends with her for 15 years, lived with her for a couple and watched her son Bailey grow right before my eyes. So when I got the chance to take some photos of her and her son, I was so excited! 

We went to Ojai, Ca where the nature is just ridiculous and ended up at the beach right before the sun disappeared for a few fun sunset shots! I had such a blast with them and hope they had just as much fun! Thank you Kristy for being such an amazing friend! Here are a few of my faves from the day!

Some Days You Gotta Dance...

I am sitting here tonight with a great cup of chai tea, watching Bill & Giuliana (don't judge they make me laugh) and editing photos from this weekend. And as I look back on my weekend I can't help but smile a gigantic smile and think of how blessed I am. I had such a great shoot with a best friend of mine and her son in Ojai, Ca. Then I got to hang out with my brother who was in from San Diego and his girlfriend who I love! We laughed, talked a whole lot, acted like kids again and enjoyed the beautiful sun! Sometimes when I realize just how much I still have ahead of me, it can be stressful. But days like these allow me to forget about all the hoopla, and focus on the love! And I sure love my friends and family! 

I will be posting the photos from our session soon, but for now I will leave you with maybe one of my favorite pictures of all time, with some of my favorite people of all time. This mother and sun are so incredibly loving with each other and are such a unit. A team. And I think this picture just screams the sunshine they bring to this world!

Let Them Eat Cake!!

I think that the last month I have had a big sign on me saying.. if your child is turning one, hire me!! ha ha I have just had such a blast with kids these past weeks, and this past weekend was no different. I went to to Carlsbad, Ca to shoot my beautiful cousin Danielle's baby boy Brando. He was turning a whopping one, and he absolutely melted my heart. They had the party at a gorgeous courtyard/clubhouse in their La Costa community, and the amount of natural light coming in made my heart skip a beat.

I just love when the light is open, and streaming through! The kids had a blast and Danielle and Enzo were the hosts with the most! It was so great seeing past clients whose families I shot previously, and meeting all the new friendly faces!

Although I love all the pictures from the day, I cant help but always loving the cake shots!! If I am taking pictures of your children for a one year old birthday in the future.... if there is a cake shot involved don't freak out if you see me act like a kid and jump up and down squealing! :)

Here are some of my favorites from the day. Enjoy!

Here is the birthday boy himself. In his very own chair, looking regal. ;)

Mom and Dad having a quiet moment with their guy, before the madness of the day begins.

And let's call it a day.

Calling Out To All Past Clients!!

Hi there! So........ I kind of have a favor to ask! ;) Believe me.. I feel weird asking any one of my peeps to go out of there way to help me out with something, but I don't know how else to reach everyone at once! 

I am launching my brand spanking new website VERY soon, and I decided that I would have a spot with my clients comments about me. I have a few already and they are so great I thought I would throw it out there on the new site. So I was thinking, that if any of you feel up to it and wanted to write something about our time together, that would be super fantastic! ha ha!

If you happen to be super rad and write something, please send it to my email.. nicolekandrews@gmail.com Thank you so much to all my clients, I am seriously sooo lucky to have met such amazing people and wether or not you write anything, just know that you have helped make me who I am today and I could never thank YOU enough for that! 

Stay warm in this rain! Oh and here is a sneak peak pic at my last session! More to come soon! xoxo
