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

Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah — The Four Points Sheraton

Bat Mitzvah Sheraton Four Points Pardo Photo

What a joy it was to photograph Rachel’s bat mitzvah last month! As the third Bailey child whose mitzvah I have photographed, I felt like I was among old friends the whole day. As soon as I showed up at the temple, everybody was ready for the formal portraits. Since I’ve been this family’s photographer for years, at this point, they knew exactly how things were going to go. We were going to stand together, sway together, play a little bit and get some great photos! The family formals went quickly and soon it was time for Rachel’s synagogue services. I headed out with plans of meeting them all later at the reception at the Sheraton Four Points.

A Seriously Fun Bat Mitzvah at Four Points Sheraton

A few hours later the reception began at the Four Points Sheraton in Norwood. Rachel’s bat mitzvah was a full-blown party. She had a DJ, dancing, tons of games and endless fun. From the softball and balloon centerpiece decorations on each table through to the pop-up photo booth, Rachel and her guests enjoyed one heck of a party!

In order to truly appreciate a bar or bat mitzvah, it’s important to remember everything that goes into it. Rachel had so much to prepare in the year leading up to this celebration including learning a new language, reading the Torah, and being a part of the community. It was more than just a party, but a true celebration of her hard work and the happiness that it brought to her family.

Thank you so much Marci for choosing me to record these momentous occasions in your life. It has been a joy getting to know you and your family. If you would like to take a trip down memory lane here are photos from Jacob’s bar mitzvah as well!

I hope to see you at future events! Rachel, congratulations on your bat mitzvah! Mazel-Tov!
