Where did the time go??

Leave a comment

Wow, I had no idea I’d neglected my blog for so long! I have a TON of work I’m trying to catch up on and get things out to clients and I’m sorry I’ve been absent for the month of September.

Anyway, I’m so happy there’s so much interest in the tutorials and question/answer segments! If I get enough questions together by next week I’ll do my first one. I already have a few sitting in my inbox, so thanks to those who sent them! Once again, anyone who has a question leave a comment here or send an email to kelli @ kellinicolephotography.com with a subject that says something to do with tutorials or blog questions. Thanks!

Happy Independence Day!

Yeah, yeah, I’m a little late, but if you saw how late I usually am on personal pictures you’d be shocked to see these up so soon. It was the first time I’ve ever actually photographed fireworks (and I’ve somehow missed most of the last 5 years of celebration, once flying over the pacific ocean and missing the day entirely), so it was fun to be able to do this.

Fireworks, however, are not my specialty :). Favorites?

Who’s up for a shoot in Houston?? I never knew how much I would love this city, but I do. So far. My BYU photographer friend Whitney who’s in town for a few months wanted to go on a walk along the Buffalo Bayou trail (I think that’s what it’s called) from her apt to downtown so I took my camera along. After about 30 minutes I seriously regretted it, but once we got to the rockin’ parts I was SO happy. These are all taken with my brand spankin’ new Canon 5D Mark II (which I’m in-love with) and the Canon 50 mm 1.2.

These were all either IN downtown or really close to downtown under the overpasses. I LOVE those overpasses.

Please forgive us for being in running clothes with no make-up or showers, but I didn’t expect to love these pictures enough to blog them!

Is the name of this little beauty…







In the first picture she’s only about an hour old and the rest she’s 24 hours old. If you’ve called or emailed me without a response, this is the reason why. With labor starting on Thursday, but no baby until Saturday night (and only about 5 hours of sleep for me), plus a wedding 2 hours away (and barely making it back in time for the baby’s birth), I’ve been a little distracted :).

She’s the lovely product of my identical twin sister and her husband and I nearly cried when they told me her full name. Those are quite the cheeks, eh? 10 lbs 3 oz of adorable baby chub to love. She doesn’t even fit into the newborn clothes we have for her :). I’m sitting here in the hospital on a tiny little love seat to sleep on and I’m so so glad to be here. Welcome little girl!! You are so loved.

Here are a few pictures of the little guy as soon as he came home from the hospital at 2 days old! He weighed in at about 5 lbs 12 oz. He was born on April 24, so now he’s 10 days old! Can’t wait to see him again.
