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. ;)

And let's call it a day.

Amazing Promotion For Wedding Season!!!

Wedding season is right around the corner! Many people are either newly engaged, or just about to become engaged and then the madness will begin! I just so happen to LOVE wedding season, especially because I have some incredibly beautiful weddings booked for this new year!

As many of you know from previous posts, I am going to slowly be transferring most of my time to weddings. It isn't that I don't absolutely LOVE doing family and children sessions. Because I absolutely do. It is that I believe that we should follow our hearts in what we do, and truly, telling a love story is where my passion lays.  There is something that draws me like a magnet, to capturing love. I actually lay awake at night thinking of fabulous new spots, camera angles, etc to take my couples to! Insane right? 

So with that said, I have decided to give a fantastic deal to the next 5 weddings I book from this point forward. The next 5 weddings booked will receive their engagement session absolutely free of cost!!!! That is right, no addition cost for an entire engagement session!!

For those weddings that I have already booked from last year, don't worry. My prices have changed so you had an amazing deal to begin with! :)

If you or anyone that you know of is looking for a wedding photographer, contact me and tell me you saw my post and you will get the discounted deal!

Wedding season... let's get ready to rumble!!!!

Can't wait to hear from you! email: nicolekandrews@gmail.com
