Mr. Hudson Turns One Year Old!!! * Bay City Children’s Photography

Hudson1yr Cover b

One of my Favorite curly-haired Little Ones was in the studio recently.  I know his Mamma has been dying to see a sneak peek.  I absolutely loved the Etsy outfit she brought for his One Year Cake Smash Pictures and the incredibly yummy cupcake she ordered from Petit Four Pastry in Essexville Michigan.  I am yet to see more beautiful cupcakes anywhere locally and the frosting….. WOW! Incredible!!!

 Mom was all stressed about whether the outfit would get here in time and it arrived the night before his session.  Thank Goodness because it was perfect and different which is what we LOVE at NKP Studio.  Hudson was in the studio just a few months ago and Mom booked another session at the time of placing her order.  We love it when  a client is so happy with their images that they book another session before they ever even get their Final Prints.  Thank you so much Robin.  You are an awesome new client and we look forward to working with you for many years to come. 

 He is Magic this little guy and I am a sucker for great dimples.

Enjoy!

Billy Elliot…On Broadway *Bay City-Midland-Saginaw Photography*

KylendCaden 386c2 b

I had such a great time hanging with these awesome Little Men and their Great Parents who I schmoozed into getting in some of the photos with ABSOLUTELY no warning.  He was only in town for a few days so it was great to get them into the studio and outside for some updated head shots for his Playbills.  Thanks to Mike B. at the State Theatre we were lucky to get into the State for some awesome stage photography.  Thank you so much Mike for getting us all in there right after Good Friday Service.  You are the BEST!

These boys Rocked!  It did not even feel like work… Just a lot of Fun!!! They had two different personalities that were like magic together when they were in my studio and on  Stage.  Kylend is one of the Billy Elliot’s on Broadway.  I have had the pleasure of watching him grow up at Miss Lore’s School of Performing Arts and Bay City  Michigan is very proud of all of his accomplishments.  He has a future brighter than I can imagine and I know he is living “His Dream.”

I have a feeling that his little brother will be joining him on that stage sooner than later.  You are such a great Family.  Thank you for choosing NKP!  We love you!

Sweet Baby Leah * Mid-Michigan Baby Photographer *

This Little Princess  put such a smile on my face the day she came into the studio.  Her mom and dad were both so laid back and great to work with.  She was so petite with such personality and had SO many different faces.  I loved trying to figure out what she was thinking.

Kate - Incredible story told through images. Love the maternity, love the skin, the nudity & tattoos.. This couple is beyond gorgeous. And of course the baby is too precious.March 18, 2011 - 4:05 pm

Gabriella Swartwood - lovely photos. I like how they capture everything--tenderness, sensuality, strength, beauty, maternal beauty, preciousness of the baby. Sigh!March 24, 2011 - 12:11 pm

Jay Kintner - Our photo shoot was so much fun! You forgot to mention that we felt as though we were on a really fun date, and it was even better than dinner and a movie! The mailman was just an added element of fun. Jay and I feel as though we have known you and Cassie for a long time as well. You both made us feel so comfortable and that made it easy for us to relax and have fun. You are truly an amazing artist and we can't thank you enough for the special moments that you have captured! We will definitely be back for more...thanks again, Meg and JayMarch 24, 2011 - 12:45 pm

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

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

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

Mr. Daniel… l Bay City Children’s Photographer

Daniel 205bw b

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

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.

Sweet Baby Gavin I Bay City Newborn Photographer

GavinNB 019c b

I have been MIA lately and seriously neglecting the blog lately.  My apologies in advance as it will probably get worse.  The studio is ramping up for our crazy Senior season.  In the midst of our high school seniors I get the frequent opportunity to photograph our stunning newborn families.

This mom and dad were so in love with Baby Gavin and each other as you can see in the images.  I had a great time photographing them and was able to feed my maternal itch by spending several hours with Sweet Gavin.  Life is getting easier by the day as my three little ones grow and become more self-sufficient all the time.  However,  once in a while I want another little one to snuggle.  Then I snap back into reality and remember how those days are done and I get to move into the next stage of the growing years which is quite exciting.

Sylvia and Ryan, thank you for spending your day with us at the studio and hopefully you are pleased with what was captured as a result.  You were both so great to work with.  We will see you soon.
