Have fun and look great!

Playful, fun, energetic, beautiful, contemporary wedding and family photography. My goal for every session is to provide you with beautiful images that were fun to create. I walk away from every session knowing that my clients have had an experience being photographed that was nothing like their expectations. I know... most people find it painful to be in front of the camera. The biggest compliment I can get (and I hear it often :) ) is "That was so much fun!" and "I actually like that picture of me!"
In my thirteen years as a photographer I have seen it all. I have gotten stressed out moms to laugh with their daughters just before a wedding, grumpy grandfathers to sing with me and 18 month old children to stare right in the lens. The result - fun on their faces every time!
If you are looking for a photographer with an upbeat, outgoing personality, get in touch! I would love to hear all about your upcoming wedding or help plan your family photo session. Cheers! - Nicki

Senior Portrait Session | Hingham Beach

Collette Hingham Beach MA Senior Portrait Photographer Pardo Photo

I was so excited to meet up with Collette at Hingham Beach for her senior portrait session. She was a referral from Julia, whose senior portrait session was fantastic, so I was ready for just as much fun this time around—and Collette did not disappoint! I’m always thrilled when I get referrals from old clients, because it means they enjoyed themselves as much as I did and want to spread it around.

We started our senior portrait Session in the late afternoon, with Collette in fall sweaters, jeans, and boots. Add to that the sea grass and the beach for a perfect backdrop to really add texture to the front of the photos, and we had the most beautiful senior portrait images right from the start.

Collette really came alive once she had the freedom to move, and as I’d hoped, I was able to catch some great expressions and cajole her into a little more fun. I had her sit in the sea grass once she was all warmed up, which created some of my favorite images from the whole session.

At the end of the Session, Collette changed into a beautiful white dress. She looked so statuesque in it that we decided to use the structure of the trees and the rocks as backgrounds, and they turned out beautifully.

I loved the variety in these photos, from the beaches to the trees, and Collette herself was a joy to work with. She could have fun and be serious all in one session, and the range of expressions and photos we were able to take together reflects her amazing personality.

Collette, thank you for a wonderful senior session at the beach! I wish you the best of luck in college next year; I know you will do so many great things with your future.
