The Holidays Have The Same Effect Me…

holidays effect 2 b

When I loaded this image I had sooooo many different quotes come to mind that would represent it.  For now, as we try to wrap up 2010 for all of our amazing clients and get things delivered ahead of schedule  I find this quite fitting.  Soon, we will be able to soak in this amazing time of year and get to spend some much needed quality time with our families.  Cassie, I couldn’t do it without you!  Thanks for all of your hard work!

Don’t forget to take the time to ENJOY your families this Holiday Season and be grateful for life’s blessings!

Twice as much Love at Nichol Krupp Photography yesterday

It’s always  double the work, but  twice as much love.  We had such a great time photographing this 6 day old brother and sister duo yesterday.  It is always a workout to photograph twins, but double the reward when I load the images and see the outcome.  Have I mentioned lately that I {HEART} my job? 

Here they are still inside their beautiful Mamma’s tummy…

And here are the amazing beauties that were inside.  I still think it is always so amazing to see the gift of life.  I cannot even imagine having two at once.

Downtown Engagement Session l Bay City Engagement Photographer

KristieEng 191sf txt b

Recently,  I have realized how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE photographing Engagement Sessions.  Ever since I stopped doing weddings a few years ago I do not do as many engagment sessions as I would like to.  The reason is because usually that is something that comes with the wedding package so couples just tend to go with the photographer they booked their wedding with.  Thankfully, I have had a few different couples  lately and I have had  THE BEST TIME documenting such great realtionshiops.  It is always great to work with people in LOVE… REALLY IN LOVE!

This couple is the perfect example of that and they even work together day in and day out at their own Law Practice.  How many of you out there could actually work with your spouse?  Haha! They were a “Breath of Fresh Air” to have in my studio and I think the images speak for themselves as to the amazing relationship they are blessed to have.  It was great working with both of you.  These almost make me want to come out of retirement and photograph your wedding.  I hope you are as excited about the images as I am.  Have a perfect day!

Best,

~Nichol

Madison… Oh Very Spunky One * Mid-Michigan Senior Photographer *

It is a rarity that a senior client comes in who is spunkier than I,  but I do digress.  I have been beat.  Madison took the cake.  She is one assertive little thing as well which I always have respect for.  I had a blast photographing her from start to finish.  I look forward to seeing what and WHO she becomes in the future.  Madison, it was my pleasure!

Check out the latest NKP Studio News l Bay City Children’s and Senior Photographer

BlyReed 069vc b

Oh my goodness!  I am SO far behind on blogging sneak peeks from recent sessions.  The good news is that we have been blessed to be so busy at the studio between Senior Sessions and Families getting Christmas pics which is a beautiful thing.  I will try to catch up and post more over the next few days. 

 We are fast approaching our cut off for the end of the year.  Our last date for sessions for the year will be December 1st unless you have a newborn.  We will definitely do our best to get your newborn in if you call right away after birth and we are able to get them in during the first two weeks of life. 

Please keep in mind that we do close the studio for the month January in order to spend time with family, travel to some conferences,  and to regroup/plan  for the New Year.  We will be scheduling our New Special for Senior Update Sessions soon.  These are going to be SOOOO fun!  We can’t wait to fill you in.   Stay tuned for our special Package Pricing on those.  We will also be scheduling for February sessions starting in the next few weeks so be sure to call soon if you would like on the wait list for February.

  Lots of new products have come to the studio  including acrylics, metal murals, storybook albums, and metal prints.  Give us a call at the studio if you would like to stop in and see samples.  The new Acrylics and Metal Prints are absolutely incredible!

Have an amazing day!

~Nichol and Cassandra (The NKP  Team)

Kate C - The Metals & Acrylics are unique & amazing! If you want something different than a normal framed print.. buy one of these!November 1, 2010 - 1:54 pm

Nichol Krupp - Glad you are digging them Kate! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!November 1, 2010 - 2:07 pm

Oh how I LOVED working with this couple.  Just look at them.  They are a stunning pair.  So easy to photograph and so go with the flow.  The love they share is apparent and I loved capturing it on film.  That is one lucky baby in Mamma’s tummy and it was just one of those days that I really love my job.   Jamie, I cannot wait to show you the rest.

Just Returned From My Second Trip To Haiti

A place we go where the color of your skin is not an issue.  You just help those in need.

A place we go where the color of your skin is not an issue. You just help those in need.

I have much to share.  There were many unexpected challenges on this journey as there always is on any mission trip especially one to Haiti.  I am still gathering my thoughts and my words.  I am experiencing great sadness with things that occurred there including the deaths of an incredible woman that worked at Hope House during her delivery as well as the loss of one of the babies.  There is now a 4 year old little girl and a preemie without a mother.  The surviving family also does not want the child or the newborn as they are unable to take care of them.   I am not really ready to put it all out there yet as it brings me great sadness.  There were so many people affected by this loss and now we face the uncertainty of things to come for the surviving baby.  I ask for your thoughts and prayers for Baby Kimberly(Keam-Bear-Lay) and for her big sister Sophuni (So-fu-Ni)

Second, there were so many people helped by our medical mission team during our time there.  That is the part that brings me great JOY!  There was Unity among ourselves as a team and the people of Haiti.  We went into tent cities where the people have yet to get medical treatment since the earthquake. We saw the appreciation from the Haitian nurses of the tent cities who helped pull together the organization of our arrival.  As we left they had tears of thanks streaming down their faces.  I have many powerful images to share but the above image pretty much sums it up perfectly. UNITY! UNITY! UNITY!

 Much rest needed.  I am exhausted both mentally and physically but also have had my SOUL fed on an level that is beyond explaination or comprehension.  To understand that,  one would need to go on a mission to Haiti personally.  It is really the only way to truly understand.  Thanks to all of you who prayed for me, my family and for the rest of the team while we were helping others.  13oo men, women and children were helped by the medical team this week.  I am so grateful to have been a part of it.  It will be in my heart forever.  I already miss the mission team as well as the people of Haiti.  A HUGE piece of my heart will always belong to them.  They still need our help.  I think a lot of people have already forgotten that.  The devastation of the quake is still there.  It is takes your breath away at times.  Please don’t forget that.

Blessings!

~Niki

Gabriella Swartwood - I didn't realize you were in Haiti recently. God bless you. What is the website to donate to Hope House? BTW, I am friends with Kate Cardinali, that is how I came upon your work--from her previous photos. Just so you know, as a writer, I go to your web site when I need to see something creative. Helps cure writer's block! GabriellaOctober 14, 2010 - 11:25 am

Lori - Again, I am in awe of your courage and commitment. I can't wait to see more of your images...and more importantly, I can't wait to catch up with you next month. love and miss you bunches~LoriOctober 15, 2010 - 11:54 am

Nichol Krupp - THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! I AM BLESSED WITH SO MANY AMAZING PEOPLE IN MY LIFE AND IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CONSTANTLY REMIND ME OF THAT. I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY AND LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING SOME OF YOU JOIN ME ON A JOURNEY TO HAITI SOMEDAY SOON! Laurie~ I agree on the logistics and I think they will work out. I just need to give you more notice next time. That is how it works most often with these trips. They tend to come up pretty quick but we can definitely plan one further out. Gabriella~ That is truly one of the BEST compliments I have ever EVER received. I love to inspire people and to know that my words and images help you with "writers block" Well, I am almost speechless. Again, HUGE COMPLIMENT! Kate speaks very highly of you.October 17, 2010 - 11:22 am

Sweet Sweet Baby Elle l Bay City Newborn Photographer

ElleNB 246hlnd txt b

Just a few for now…..  I have been in over my head this week with work, projects, husband out of town and being a typical mother of three.  But I had to make time this morning to blog just a few of this incredible child who I have been waiting to see for what seems like  a REALLLLLLY LOOOOOOONG time.  I can only imagine then how long it seems like it was for her Mamma and Daddy.

What a good little baby too.  She virtually slept through the entire session which was amazing!  We messed,  molded and tucked her little limbs for several hours and she took it with grace and cooperation.  A dream I say!

And…..let’s not forget sweet little Cecilia is a new big sister and a great one at that.  She probably goes down on the record books at NKP as the best and most gentle two year to ever hold a one week old baby in my studio.  Thanks for doing such a great job CC.  I completely {HEART} you and promise to post some pictures of you with your baby sister soon. 

XOXOXO,

~Niki
