A few weeks ago I photographed my close friend, the one and only Nikki Nicole. She just changed her blog up and needed a new head shot to go with her fresh new look. Nikki is a photographer in Wethersfiled, and loves shooting newborn and kids portraits. Check her out!
One of the things that I love about Nikki is that she is not afraid to just bring it for the camera.And boy did she! Our main man, Principal shooter extraordinaire Erik Maziarz shot this with me and we had so much fun bopping around Hartford, laughing the entire time.
So one of Nikki’s colors is lime green. And there’s this wall that I have been jocking since, well for a long time. The only thing is…. it’s in a little bit of an unsavory stretch of town…. and so we went regardless! Because Miss Nikki is up for anything! Plus we had Erik with us so we were covered.
But boy did we get HECKLED!! These guys pulled out chairs on their stoops to watch us shoot, and the catcalls were FLYING!!! If you know Nikki you know she just went with it, and laughed and smiled. It didn’t faze her a BIT.
Check her out. Working those hecklers!
Bodega fabulousness abounded. Look at Erik, ninja man
Fluff-a-licious-ness!!! How cute is she

That smile just screams that she is up to no good
sass-a-FRASS city
Maziarz rocking his shot. Or getting in mine!!! BURN! Scoot over dude
Really really. I just love her freckles. Freckles are all innocence to me and kind of cancel out her devious side. Cuz this one is DEVIOUSness personified!!
en-freaking-FUEGO
Another thing I love about Nik … my girl is JACKED! She’s the kind of gal you would want to have your back in a bar brawl. Not that I typically find myself in those kind of situations. I’m just saying.
so playful and cute, right? But she would totally bust a bar stool over your head if you messed with her. It’s my favorite thing
This is Nikki’s old camera. She is a legit, old tyme pro, who used to shoot weddings in 2 1/4!!!! She’s really like 65 but she looks young
lovety love

frisk-i-fied
She is just sunshine, all around- warm and blonde

RAWR!!! or whatever cat noises look like that aren’t meow
And then for our finale we hit up the firehouse. Just cuz.
Typical Nik!! And I love her for it!!!!
Three cheers for my girl Nikki Nicole! Thanks for bringing your A game sister!

Carla, these photos are excellent! Numbers 7 & 11 are my favorites, simply gorgeous. Over all and amazing session. By the way, I saw that one of your favorite books is “The Giving Tree” which was one of my favorites growing up as well (all of Shel Silverstein’s books actually!).
