Because this image makes me smile. Because it makes me feel at peace. Because it represents so much. Because… Because…Because!

Claire…. Need I Say More? She was a DREAM to photograph!
I really don’t know what to say about this Beauty so I will keep it short and sweet which is rare. She was a DREAM to photograph. I ADORE her mom. I ADORE her. I love that she is someone my daughter spends several hours a week with at dance and GREATLY looks up to. I am PROUD to know the human being that she is and KNOW she will only becoming more AMAZING, KIND, and INCREDIBLE as time goes on.
I have many favorites but truly LOVE this image of her.
Best,
~Nichol

Julia… A Quiet, Peaceful, Beautiful Soul
I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to work with Julia, her Mom and Grandmother. It was neat listening to her talk about where she came from and how she ended up here from California not all that long ago. Mostly though she had a quiet calming nature about her. You can take one look into Julia’s eyes and see an Old Soul among you. I loved photographing her and loved her amazing energy. I am quite certain she will do great things in her future. I am also so grateful that her mom teaches art and has an appreciation for it. She is the one that saw my work and chose us to document this special time in her daughter’s life.
Thank you both so much for choosing NKP. We LOVE clients like you who make our job easy.

Vacation is Over… Back to work!
I just got back in town after an incredible 11 day trip with my children to my home state of IOWA. We revisited old memories and made many new ones. I cannot wait to share a little with you all about my journey but for now I will just share two images from my I-PHONE of one of my favorite childhood places. This is Winterset Iowa home of the Bridges of Madison County. I SO loved these bridges when I was little. I love that they are still up and that regardless of the 115 heat index that day there were lots of cars pulling up to see them as well.
Now….off to blog images for clients as promised!
Have a blessed day!
Best,
~Nichol
Mr. Daniel… l Bay City Children’s Photographer
Well, as with any toddler this little guy gave Cassie and I a run for our money on a miserably HOT and HUMID Michigan day. But Oh was he the cutest little thing EVER. His personality alone was enough to light up your whole week. I LOVED how he would sing to us, pucker his lips in his serious moments, run, smile, and play in the water.
This day was all about new discoveries for him and old ones revisited. He loved running around in the corn field, playing with my garden hose, sitting by the pond and watching me try to catch him in a desperate attempt to get at least ONE shot in focus at the end of our time together.
Finally, it happened. I love what was captured. I love how this session shows what it is to be a little boy. His parents are good friends and I have had to pleasure of watching their family grow first by photographing their wedding and then by capturing Daniel as a newborn. Now… Just look at him at nearly 18 months old. PURE Perfection if you ask me, but I am BIASED! Thanks for spending the day with us Sweet Daniel.
xoxo,
~N
I loved how when I opened up this image I saw the heart shaped break in the trees. It definitely made me smile!

Sisters… Bay City Children’s Photographer
A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.
~Marion C. Garretty
I LOVE THESE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT HERE ARE A FEW IN COLOR FOR MOM…
Oh how I loved the clothing choices this mom brought for her little ones. She definitely did her share to help out the retail world of ETSY with all of these lovely clothes, hats, flowers and tutus. Loved seeing the bond these beauties had with one another. They were so close and loved sitting together sharing giggles, kisses and tickles.
~N
- LOVE the details. Another Job well done Niki, these sisters will looks back on these for years to come and remember that day and smile. Beautiful girls, and beautiful images!July 18, 2010 - 9:09 pm

The meaning of the name Jack is ‘God is gracious’
I have my own Jack (Jackson) at home but I would have to say that this one is quite close to my heart as well. This is the third time I have photographed him. It has been so great seeing him grow. I first photographed him when he was still in his Mamma’s tummy and then at just a few days old and now at 9 months.
His Mom, Kate, has become of my closest friends. Our love for great photography and design is what brought us together. She realizes the importance of documenting Mr. Jack-Jack and I am so happy I keep getting picked to do just that. I love how he went from a little hair to NO hair to a Mohawk. I love his blue eyes and his rubber band wrists. I love his smile, his perfect lips and how laid back he is. He will be so well taken care of through the years and I am quite certain will be as much of a charmer in his older years as he is this very second.
I {HEART} YOU JACK*JACK!
~N
- Tears. God is Gracious as he brought me Jack, as we know, he is a VERY special child. You will always be our family photographer, because I see no other topping your skills and ability to capture perfection. Thank you for being an amazing friend to laugh with and cry with. God brought us together, that's certain. XOXOJuly 18, 2010 - 9:24 pm
- Magnificent.July 18, 2010 - 10:11 pm
- Thank you Kate. You are so welcome and yes, we were definitely brought together for a reason. Now... you have twins on the way. I cannot wait to find out what you are having. Thank you Gabriella. ~NikiAugust 23, 2010 - 10:26 am
Carine… Bay City Central High School Senior
Another Senior Beauty from NKP Studio last week. I LOVED photographing her and her beautiful mother. As you can see….she has great Genes and looks just like her mom. The Seniors keep coming and we are loving all the new energy in the studio. Loved working with you both. 
Enjoy!

Daniel…
This is Cassie again. Here is one of my awesome seniors from a recent session. Meet Daniel! He was so fun to work with and had a fantastic personality. I had a ton of fun in this session. He topped our guys with the clothing that he brought. Keep that in mind when choosing clothing, his clothing make great examples for what you should bring. We had a blast! Thanks!!
