Welcome to the start of the Carrie Nichols Photography Blog. I’m so glad you’ve joined me here. To kick things off, I’m featuring a five-part series celebrating the things I love about client sessions. Missed earlier posts? Check out Part One and Part Two.

Part Three – Connection

It happens in small ways and in quick moments – we comfort, care for, and connect with one another. I love when I can capture this in an image.

As parents we hold a great responsibility. We are tasked with raising small people into grown adults. We comfort their pain, care for their needs, and connect with their hearts. I love when an image can capture a moment of this connection.

Part Two – Baby Details

There is nothing like the newness of a baby. Though it can feel like each day with a newborn goes by so slowly, before you know it you are celebrating a first birthday. All of the details in the first year are so fleeting – a big yawn, tiny toes, and how small they start out.

I love being able to capture the newness of a baby. It brings me joy to think that on a morning a few years from now after you’ve spent a few hours chasing a toddler around the playground, you can sit down, pull out this album and remember how small, how sweet, and how stationary your kid once was.

Part One – Capturing Real Moments

The memories in our heads are not just of smiling and posed faces, they are much more complex and diverse.

Our memories are of floors strewn with toys, cousins exploring each others’ faces, and all of the real feelings, interactions and moments we have.

These are the moments I love to capture.

Though the memories in our heads might fade with time, these photos can last much longer.

Capturing some of the real moments in your session lets me give you the gift of the memories to take home with you, put up on your walls, and keep close to your heart.
