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

Easton Ma Extended Family Portrait Session

Pardo-Photography-Easton-Ma-Family-Session_0100

At the end of June, I had the pleasure of photographing the Fahy family at Borderland State Park in Easton, MA. It was actually three families in one, and it was a great day. Michelle and Jay have a son, Ben, who is 8. Mike and Laura have a son named Michael, who is 7. Jim and Linda are the hip and happening grandparents, and Jay and Laura are their twins. Michelle bought this portrait session as a Christmas gift for Jim and Linda, her husband’s parents. They have never had an extended family portrait done, and since Michelle is a good friend and past client of mine, she purchased a gift certificate for them.

I love the photo of Mike and Michael rolling in the grass together, the one where he is holding Michael by the legs and spinning him, and the close up of Michael upside down holding on to his dad’s leg. I also love the one of Michelle running with Ben on her back.
A technique I use for larger families is to set up the adults and have the kids run in circles until I yell “get ’em,” which is when they run in to hug their parents. Well, by the end of the shoot, they ALL wanted to run around. It was so much fun!
