The Year in Review, Part One

Children, Teens & Families What a year it has been! I’ve been so fortunate this year and have done more shooting than ever. This year’s review will come in chapters and is going to take us right through to New Year’s Eve! My children, teens and family business is booming thanks, in part, to my beloved former clients. I don’t advertise family portraiture at all. All of my work comes from word of mouth. I was floored by all the business brought in this year by my beloved clients. I photographed babies of former brides, children of former bridesmaids and siblings of former portrait clients. I was thrilled when former clients called me for gift certificates. They were so happy with their experience and images, they wanted to give that gift to a loved one! I was equally as honored when past portrait clients came back for another year. This was my second and third time photographing some of these families! I have so much fun photographing children and families! The babies just make me melt. And the toddlers are a blast to chase around an play with. I’ve learned to turn the shoot into one big game […]

Carlie + Connor’s Cohasset Wedding

Those of you who have followed my work over the last few years may know my genuine fondness for the Donovan family and my immense pride for being chosen to photograph all three Donovan children’s weddings. It has been such an honor to work with this incredible family and I’m a bit sad (let’s face it, devastated) the weddings are over. Each year I’ve looked forward to their celebrations. And though they’ve had completely different themes (an elegant city wedding, a plush and vibrant seaside wedding and a vintage chic rustic wedding), they’ve all had the same energy, excitement and genuine love. I will miss them so much I found myself shedding a tear during Carlie and Connor’s first dance….and during the Mother/Son dance…and as I left. Too much? The Donovan children all have something else in common. They have stellar taste in mates! Carlie was such a joy to work with (utterly low maintenance) and she and Connor have a beautiful and easy relationship. They laughed and joked easily through our photo session. Oh…and they ALL DANCE LIKE NOTHING I’VE EVER SEEN! The Donovan’s are all married! What am I going to do!!!! Any chance there are […]

Lindsey & Keith’s Summer Wedding at Endicott Estate

Lindsey & Keith had the quintessential New England summer wedding. From the classic look of the Endicott Estate to the beautiful peaked tent set up on the lawn next to the mansion. It was a warm evening. But that didn’t stop her guests from creating a wild dance party that night. It was a great night!

My Weekend with the Shems

I’ve been looking forward to Leah’s Bat Mitzvah for over a year! I had worked with the Shems at their son Matthew’s Bar Mitzvah three years earlier and it was so much fun. I knew this one would be a blast! And despite Nemo working hard to make a mess of things, Leah’s Bat Mitzvah was a fun as promised…one day later. Leah’s Bat Mitzvah was scheduled for Saturday, February 9. Anyone near New England (or with a TV, computer or radio) knows that was exactly when Blizzard Nemo dumped several feel of snow on the Northeast. Knowing the storm was approaching, I was in contact with Leah’s mom Alicia on Friday. I was most worried about driving conditions that wouldn’t allow me to get to them. Alicia, quite off the cuff said, “Do you want to stay here Friday?” “Oh no, that’s not necessary,” was my first thought. But as the reports started getting more drastic, and a travel ban was looming, the panic set it. I thought, “There is no way I’m missing this Bat Mitzvah.” Next thing you know, I’m packing a bag and heading to the Shems’ house for a sleepover. But Nikki! Didn’t […]

Twice the fun!

It’s official! I really am in love with these two beautiful girls! It’s true, twins are twice the work, but they’re also twice the fun! And these two beauties had lovely dispositions. We had a great time taking some photos where they are the most comfortable…in their own home. All these photos were taken in on the bed in their guest room where we found some beautiful window light. The afternoon window light made their skin soft and their eyes pop. With all that fun, the twin girls were ready for a nap by the time I left. I love the last photo of the entire family tuckered out and happy. What a great day!

Best of 2012!

What a year it has been! As I reflect on the past year, I see how lucky I’ve been to have worked with such lovely and unique people. My job has taken me to beautiful locations and has introduced me to some truly wonderful people. I’ve had such a difficult time choosing my favorite images of 2012…which you’ll see…as there are many! I’ve had the opportunity to witness and capture some really special and one of a kind moments. I’m so pleased to be able to share some of my favorites. The engagement session can be an important part of my job. And certainly one of the most fun! It’s my first opportunity to really spend some time with my clients. I learn about their relationships, personalities and styles. And my clients learn what it’s like to be photographed. I always ask my clients to choose a location that is special to them and speaks to their relationship. So I find myself in some interesting spots from local bars and city streets to hiking trails and farms. Here are some of my favorite from this year… The wedding day is a wild and exciting day. By far, […]

Thank Heavens for Little Girls!

The holiday season is here. And like many other photographers, I am locked away in my office editing my fingers to the bone to meet holiday deadlines. Before my eyes cross, it’s time for a break! I thought I’d share a shoot done this fall with two of the cutest girls I’ve worked with! There is something great about shooting little girls. They’re confident, fun and full of energy! We had a blast playing in the park!

Josephine’s Photos at Four Months

Four months old is such a great age for baby photos. Babies are just starting to hold their heads up and their personalities are starting to shine. Josephine is a beautiful baby! And she was the perfect model. There are some great photos of Josephine laying on her belly proudly holding her head and hands up for the crowd. And she was so curious! There is a whole series of photos of Josephine very seriously studying her feet. We had three generations in the studio as Josephine’s mom brought her mom for some help. And I can see where Josephine gets her easy and happy personality. It was a lovely day in the Photography by Nikki Cole studios. Ladies, please come back any time!

A Fun & Funky Family Portrait

OK, I may be a bit biased, but this may be the most beautiful boy I’ve ever photographed! This is my darling nephew Tate. I was lucky enough to sneak in a family portrait session with him during a family visit. It was a blast for many reasons! First, I had obviously already developed a relationship with my subjects. That always makes a family portrait session easier. But, Tate’s mom also has fun and funky taste (OK, his dad’s not so bad either). So we were able to play with some backdrops that were super cool! I’m so happy to introduce you to some of my family! Everyone, meet my nephew Tate, my sister-in-law Leigh Ann and my brother David.
