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

Allie’s Bat Mitzvah – Taunton Holiday Inn

Friends and family had an incredibly perfect day celebrating Allie‘s bat mitzvah at the Holiday Inn in Taunton! It was a real pleasure to be her photographer and witness her very special day.

Allie’s Holiday Inn Bat Mitzvah

When I arrived at the temple in the morning, the mood was already joyous and celebratory. Allie‘s family was so happy for her to be achieving this milestone in her life. We started out with family photos both inside the temple on the bimah and outside using the natural backdrops. Once the formal portraits were complete, I photographed some details as Allie and her family prepared for the service.

A few hours later the reception began at the Taunton Holiday Inn. The campfire theme was wound throughout all the details of the reception. They had a S’mores dessert bar, amazing teepee campfire structures, and a circle of chairs set up in front of the dance floor. I absolutely loved the way Events by Chrissie Sue brought together the idea of a campfire and completely transformed the reception room at the Taunton Holiday Inn for Allie’s reception.

The DJs from Party Excitement Entertainment also kept the dance floor jumping. The kids enjoyed games like Coke and Pepsi and then he adults joined in for the dancing as well. The Hora is always one of the highlights any mitzvah and this one did not disappoint. Allie was paraded around the dance floor high up on a chair as she swung her purple napkin.

Overall it was an incredible day. I am so happy to have documented it for Allie, her parents Maggie and Randy, and all the amazing vendors who participated in the event. Congratulations Allie on your bat mitzvah! Mazel Tov!

About: These flowers were so unique. Their delicate wood flowers are made from a soft tapioca wood (much like a balsa wood). This makes them very realistic and delicate, just like real flowers… only there’s no need to water them, and they don’t wilt!
