Mayberry {South Jersey Lifestyle Photographer}

I'm sitting here writing at a diner in Mayberry. Well, it's not really Mayberry but it sure feels like it to me!! I just love Berlin New Jersey! It may not look like much but I feel charmed to live here. The community spirit runs high, our school is just wonderful, and we have the most FUN Fourth of July parade ever! We even have the classic water tower that stands there like a giant protector silhouetted in our beautiful sunsets. I thank my lucky STARS every day to live in such a lovely place.

Welcome to the Berlin backyard of Miss L and her little bro N. They LOVE the summertime in their backyard...... hanging by the pool and napping in the hammock..... Such cutie pies!!! These are from a couple weeks back but I just had to share these great end of summer shots with you!! I have lots of new sessions and stories to tell. Wedding season has kept me very busy, but I'm working on lots of new blogs to share soon!!

Sending Summer out in Style! {South Jersey Children's Photographer}

Look at these two sassy gals!! I have been photographing them since the little one was just a baby! This was our first time "on location" and it couldn't have been more FUN! First we played at the park, then found a great colorful building to make funny faces and "model for the camera". "G" is turning 6 and "A" is going to be 3! Happy Birthday, girls!!! I get to photograph them every year at Christmas and their birthdays. They are growing up so big and turning into such cute little ladies!

Good luck to all the kiddies starting back to school this week! It was a great summer, and now is the perfect weather for outdoor sessions!! Call today to book a back to school session! I know it's a busy month, but don't let the brilliant weather pass us by! http://www.imagesbynicki.com/

You Make Me Smile {South Jersey Photographer}

With only a couple of weeks left until school starts, I am looking at my "summer to do list" and thinking, ugh I didn't do half of what I hoped to do this season. So here I am cramming all my ideas and projects into a few days..... I remember telling my daughter that we had to do her summer photos way back when it was still spring. But the warm days just floated by and suddenly, I have a soon to be 6th grader with no summer photos! So we took a ride to Main Street in Medford, NJ for a few quick photos for her scrapbook. She makes me smile! She's such a ham... when she wants to be. :)

This fall, she's starting middle school. I just can't believe it! She tells me there are "dances" this year. (dresses to buy!!!! OH MY!) I am excited for her, but kind of sad that time is flying by so fast. She's always been my baby girl, but look at her now!!! Yes, she's still my baby!

A Visit From Heaven {South Jersey Children's Photographer}

Meet D, N, and Mason! Yes, there are 3 kids in these photos..... Mason is there in spirit. He went to Heaven when he was just a little guy, and his family knows he will always be with them in so many ways. The balloons and flowers are for him. We decided to let the balloons go at the end of our session in honor of Mason. And after we did, this amazing butterfly came to the garden to see us. Incredible! I LOVE these kids!!! I wish I could share every shot!!

This session is very special to me. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to capture a moment that a family will have forever. It's a story and a memory. www.imagesbynicki.com Let's dream something together.

Cabbage Patch Kids! {South Jersey Children's Photographer}

Where do babies come from??? The cabbage patch of course!!! How great is it that there was a wonderful farm only minutes from this incredible family's house!! Thank you, Stella's Farm for letting us take over a shady grove and make these photos! :) We spent the day putting the twins N and N to sleep while big sister B explored the farm. What fun! Baby boy N loved sleeping outside in the shade of the trees, while baby girl N loved being without her diaper.... (yikes) Big sister B was sooo good and such a cutie, oh my!!! A big thanks to their mommy and mom-mom for all their help with this session!!

Summer Girls! {South Jersey Family Photographer}

Wow! What a GREAT family!! When the mother of these 5 adorable girls called me she said, "we are beach people." Well, that's no joke!!! Look how they just belong there in the sun and sand!! I had such fun with these girls! Meet K, P, T, M and B!!!!! My favorite shot of this summer so far is the colorful parasol line up looking out at that blue green ocean! What a blessing it must be to have 5 amazing girls!

A Midsummer Wish {South Jersey Family Photographer}

Well, I can't believe it's the end of July already. I'm making a wish for summer to never end! :) I know some of you are tired of the heat (and the humidity does kinda stink) but I really don't want to see summer end!! The light has been wonderful and the sunshine makes me happy! I'm so grateful for the quiet mornings and pretty skies. I could just spin on a tire swing and dream.

I still have beach photos to share, and I sure could use a day at the beach again!!!! Meet the wonderfully FUN "N" family and HOT momma "S". Splashing in ocean water wearing your favorite dress is exactly what we all need to do!!! Who wants to come? We'll get pizza and ride a roller coaster!
