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 Sessions | Borderland State Park

Borderland State Park Senior Portraits Pardo Photo

Here is the next round of senior portrait sessions I photographed at Borderland State Park in Easton, MA. What a glorious few days we shared creating these portraits. I love photographing high school senior portrait sessions in beautiful New England locations like this one!

Borderland State Park Senior Photography

This year in particular, I am so pleased that so many people are taking advantage of my 10–minute portrait session option. It gives you just enough time to get a great portrait for the yearbook, while still being friendly on the wallet! Not only am I a photographer, but I am also a high school photography teacher, so, I understand how to get seniors to look genuine and have fun in their senior portrait sessions.

High school students are my favorite and I treasure the fact that this has become part of my photography business as well!

These 10-minute portrait sessions were taken at Borderland State Park. I really enjoy photographing at Borderland State Park because it is filled with equal amounts of history and natural beauty. With it’s sprawling 1843 acres, there are countless options for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, relaxing with a good book, and (of course) photography. At the heart of the park is the Ames Mansion, which gives beautiful stone walls that are a great backdrop for portraits. Fun fact—did you know that the new Ghostbusters reboot used the Ames Mansion as a filming location in 2016? And you know I love photographing at the Leach Pond but I am not the only one! Scenes from the 2008 movie Shutter Island were filmed at the stone ledge next to the Leach Pond! How’s that for an interesting backdrop for a portrait session?

Take a look at the results from these sessions, below! I was so happy to spend the time photographing these awesome Massachusetts high school seniors.
