Happy 8th Birthday My Sweet Addison…

I am so blessed to have an amazing little girl.  Today is her 8th birthday and I am sad to think that she is already that age.  However,  I could not be happier with how incredibly beautiful, kind, giving, polite, cuddly, innocent and FREE SPIRITED she still is.  I am so so grateful for that.  I can only hope and pray that she continues to be like that as she grows, matures and changes.  It was not an easy task to bring into this world safely, but I am oh so glad she stormed in and changed me forever. 

I always wanted a little girl and I could not be more proud of who she is than I am right now.  Thank you for being mine.  Thank you for blessing me every day with your love, kisses and endless compliments.  Thank you for treating others kindly everywhere you go.  Thank you for being such a great Big Sister to Jack and an amazing Little Sitster to Cameron.  Thank you for being Daddy’s Little Girl and Mamma’s at the same time.  Thank you for loving nature, pets, frogs, bugs, mud, worms, snakes, birds and US.  Thank you for late evening jumps on the trampoline and for wishing on shooting stars with me on the patio.  Thank you for dancing on my feet in the kitchen,  for bubble baths and clay masks with Mamma in the jacuzzi.  Thank you for waking up every day with a smile on your face and for being an incredible dancer and student. And thank you…thank you…THANK YOU for being MINE.  I love you more than life itself.  Happy Birthday Sweet Sweet Addison.

Good-bye Tucker…

  Krupps jan09 221c b

   Well Monday was a very sad day at the Krupp House.  After almost 6 years of having a kind, loving, tolerant and loyal companion, we  had to say good-bye to our Labrador Retriever.  Tucker had his moments.  He loved to take off for an unannounced run when he got a chance which  usually resulted in one of us getting in the car to hunt him down and bring him home during the most inopportune times.  Sometimes, he would pace around to the point that you would go crazy inside and be unable to concentrate on what it was you were attempting to do.  He would hang out right under your feet and you would trip and fall because you forgot he was there.   He would want outside in the middle of the night right when you had just fallen asleep. 

     BUT… he also always knew where our three kids were and made sure they were always safe and watched over.  He especially looked after Jackson, our little wild man.  From the day Jackson was born,  Tucker would go upstairs and hang out at Jackson’s door while he napped during the day.  He never stopped doing that.  Then at night he would climb into Cameron’s bed where he had his very own blanket and pillow at the foot of the bed.  I never could figure out how Cameron could sleep with a dog pinning him down by the legs but he loved it.  Nonetheless, he was a really really good dog,  a really really loyal dog and we were blessed to know him, love him and call him a part of our family. 

     Cameron has had a really rough week.  Tucker was HIS dog.  It was clear.  No one else, just Cameron’s.  Those of you who have never really been blessed to have pets probably cannot believe I am even using up virtual space on a blog over this.   But those of you who have, know exactly why our family is so sad and why I have a little boy who is having trouble going to sleep at night without his best friend.  You also know why our house is strangely quiet now and why everything is just different. 

     Cancer is funny like that.  It takes people from you and it takes pets from you.  Actually,  it is not funny at all.  It is just one  BIG bummer all the way around if you ask me.  Please keep Cameron in your prayers as he is clearly struggling with this.  He is a little boy that at the young age of ten has experienced more loss than I care to share right now and to him…this is just another one that doesn’t get any easier. 

     Tucker~  Even though you had your moments that made me sigh and wonder why I had decided to ever become a pet owner, you brought us WAY more joy than inconvenience.  Thank you for your undying loyalty and your unconditional love.   You are deeply missed!

Amy - Awww... this is heart wrenching. What a beautiful dog :). I'll go hug my neglected hounds now!October 8, 2009 - 12:49 am

jessie - Awwww, Niki. This post was sweet and wonderful and made me cry... for Tucker, for Cameron, and for your whole family. Hugs all around... Losing a pet is never easy. :(October 8, 2009 - 1:57 am

Janelle - I am so sorry Niki , my heart goes out to you and your family. Tell Cameron the heavens just got a little brighter because Tucker is a new star in the night sky and he can look up at night and still him:-)October 8, 2009 - 8:26 am

Daniela - Niki - I am so sorry to here about Tucker. Dogs become part of the family and I can only imagine what your kids are going through right now. Hugs to Cameron who's going to have the toughest time.October 8, 2009 - 9:17 am

Marmalade - I remember seeing the image of Tucker and your cat before and I loved it. I'm so sorry for your loss, the kids must be devestated. Big hug, friend. It's nothing short of tragic and I'm sorry he had such a short life with your family. We have a lab mix and she is infuriatingly loyal like Tucker was (and a wanderer too!), she's an old dog and our time with her is short lived-your post was a wonderful reminder to embrace that old dog and give her some well deserved lovin'.October 8, 2009 - 10:13 am

Aunt Lois - Niki, I am very sorry for your family losing Tucker. Cameron, I wish I could give you a hug and have a nice long talk. I think about you guys a lot. If you ever need a weekend away---PLEASE think of us and our very OPEN DOOR policy. Love to ALL Aunt L ps I LOVE your pictures!!! Your fan alwaysOctober 8, 2009 - 10:20 am

John Garber - My heart goes out to your family for your loss. I have experienced the terrible pain and grief of losing a pet and it's hard to understand unless you've been through it yourself. I do know that with time it gets better... but you never forget how much love and happiness your true friend gave to you and your family.October 8, 2009 - 10:49 am

kathleen - I am so sorry to hear this. What a great dog you had. May tucker rest in peace. I am sure he is with our "Rocco".October 8, 2009 - 11:19 am

schannon and gabby - Nik, I am soooo sorry about Tucker. I do remember tripping over him :( He was a great dog and family member. What a beautiful tribute and I LOVE his Kujo pic:). Please give all of your kids great big hugs from all of us!October 8, 2009 - 11:34 am

Ashley Cappaert - This totally brought tears to my eyes.. I have been there before, and I am sure everyone out here can relate to this on some level. Tucker looks like my Bailey that I said goodbye to 4 years ago. It just seems a little more empty without them when they are gone. How lucky you are to have the talent you do to document those opportune times that make having a dog like this not only great, but a memory forever! Love the pictures with Sophie! Thanks for sharing!October 9, 2009 - 3:20 pm

Knitterella - I'm so sorry about Tucker, Niki. Animals have a way of getting into our hearts. Thinking about you and your family (especially Cameron) during this sad time.October 10, 2009 - 8:51 am

Brenda Sommars - I am SO sorry for your loss! It is very hard loosing a pet. Please give Cameron and the other kids a HUGE hug for me and Shane. We love you and are thinking of you all. BrendaOctober 16, 2009 - 12:54 pm

Nichol Krupp - Thanks Everyone. It has definitely been a big bummer. Hopefully, we will get another one soon so the kids will having something else to focus on and look forward to. Anyhow, I really really appreciate all of the kind words. All The Best....NicholOctober 20, 2009 - 9:51 pm

Tim Binns - Our family is sad about the loss of your dog. We will miss his occasional visits. We are the family that lives between your house and the road. A couple of times Tucker scared us to death by appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the night. One time he even decided to walk in the living room for a visit when our daughter opened the door. He was a very nice dog and seemed to really enjoy people. I’m sure your family will miss him. P.S. I would have never found your web site if it weren't for fedex dropping your packages at our house by mistake. I love your web site. You are an amazing photographer. Your work it truly inspiring.

Estella… Tri-City Newborn Photography

Estella09NB 061bw bOh what to say?  What say?   Sometimes I think I sound like a broken record because I truly am blessed with awesome clients who bring me amazingly, beautiful little miracles like this one.  I can actually hardly keep up with all of the newborns we have had in the studio this year.  They have been plentiful for sure and I LOVE IT!!!  Miss Estella gave me a run for my money for the first hour or so and I think her mom and dad were wondering if we were going to get anything or not.  I kept reassuring them that we would and just had to be patient.  This was the result of our patience….Enjoy!

I would also like to thank Women’s OB/GYN at Covenant in Saginaw for allowing me to display my many many newborn and maternity images over the past few years.  I personally go there and the doctors, mid-wives and entire staff in general are all amazing to work with.  I delivered my third child Jackson there and we were well taken care of.  People are making maternity and newborn photography a priority in their lives and in their budgets and we are very blessed and grateful to be so busy capturing both of those amazing times in your lives.

Jamie Montei Whalen - I adore these photos of our family's newest addition! Thank you Nichol for perfectly capturing these newborn moments of little Estella! Love the butt one with the tiny hat! Kayla looks stunning as always and John's eyes are fantastic in the color one of him! So glad my Aunt Joanne found you; can't wait to bring our future babies to you! ("Look at all those exclamation points!" says the former English teacher. You're that good!)October 7, 2009 - 11:21 pm

John Garber - We absolutely love these photos! We can't thank you enough for finding the time to get together with us, especially on such short notice. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience your wonderful talent first hand.October 8, 2009 - 10:33 am

Joanne Wichlinski - Nichol, you have blown me away for the second time with your amazing talent. These pictures are great, and I can't wait to see more!!!!October 8, 2009 - 10:13 pm

Steven…Bay City Senior Boys Photography

Meet Steven…  Another great looking senior that Cassie had the pleasure of working with.  Check out those BLUE EYES.  I figure I am always blogging my clients but thought I would share some of  the awesome work Cassie and been creating.  Again,  she loved working with this Senior Guy.  Often times our Senior males give us a run for our money and act like they do not really want to be there, but not Steven.  Remember Seniors, you have as much to do with how your final images turn out as we do from your clothing choices, your awesome attitude, your hair, personality, accessories and so on.  So make the best of yoru experience and have a great time doing it.  We promise to make it pretty painless on you.   

Thank you Steven for being SUPER COOL to work with.

We hope you are enjoying your senior year and having a GREAT TIME!
