A Little Lady {Audrey is One}

Nicola Borland — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:11:44 +0000

Audrey is the perfect mix of her parents. She is a little lady like her mother, and I think she is going to be super smart like her dad. She is still very petite, and is working on the whole standing and walking thing, but I know she will be running all over the house pretty soon, causing lots of trouble! Watching her grow from a bun in the oven to three, six, nine and twelve months has been so amazing. I am sad that we have finished our Belly To Baby First Year Series, but know that her mum and I are now friends and I will still get to watch Audrey grow.

My favorite things about Audrey:

Her fashion sense – good job mum!
Her big brown eyes
Her giggle – makes me giggle thinking about it
Her expressions – even when she is not smiling she has the best expressions
Most of all the fact that I get to be her photographer!

Leave a comment and let us know what you think about this little darling!

A Cheeky Holiday {Kayla}

Nicola Borland — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:06:41 +0000

Little Kayla has her parents, especially Dad, wrapped around her little finger! And quite rightly, too. She has these huge blue eyes and a lot of funny faces in her repertoire. She is just learning to sit so I used my magic powers to help her become an expert in sitting, and we captured some amazing images of her cheeky face…and her other cute cheeks too!

A Year In the Life {Emma Noelle}

Nicola Borland — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:41:57 +0000

This is the final slideshow for Emma Noelle after completing her Belly to Baby First Year Collection with us. This shows Emma and her family from Newborn to One Year. Her mum and dad are so proud and I am as well. It was such an honor to capture this first year of her life and I look forward to continuing as she gets older, taller and even cuter!!!!

Baby Blue Eyes {Emma’s 1 Year Session}

Nicola Borland — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 05:40:10 +0000

Ummm…so cutest baby in the world or what?????? I have had such pleasure watching Emma grow up over the last year with our newborn and six month sessions as part of my Belly to baby Collections. Every time I see her she just gets cuter! Those big bay blues get me every time. It was really cool to see her walking and with hair too! She was very well behaved for the session and mum, dad and grandma where excellent helpers with the singing and dancing and clapping portion of the session.

As always, with Emma, these are my new favorite images and I can’t wait to put together her 1 year collage with all her best images. She will have a portfolio better than most catwalk models by the time she is 2!

If you are a family member and wish to see all the images from our 1 year Belly to Baby Collection please click HERE to find your event.

The New Hepburn {Audrey at 9 Months}

Nicola Borland — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:32:53 +0000

This is Audrey’s third session with us and she is now nine months old. We had great fun at both her three and six month sessions and I was really looking forward to these ones now that she can sit up better. Of course sitting up better leads to crawling and she was all over the place! I managed to get a few shots off before Mum had to run back in and put her back on her place. We were working hard to keep her in one place, and smiling, for this session. It was a workout for Mum and me. I was so overjoyed when at the end of the session she gave us some massive giggles for about 2 minutes. I think you will agree that even when not giggling she is adorable and I just know that her one year session is going to be a blast.

Hello…my name is cutie pie! {Audrey at 6 Months}

Nicola Borland — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 23:30:00 +0000

Umm…so I was dying whilst editing these images of 6 month old Audrey. Just dying at how freakin’ cute she is! Seriously love these images and am already looking forward to seeing Audrey again for her 9 month old images has part of her Belly to Baby First Year Series.

I know I don’t have much to say on these, but it’s because they speak for themselves

Arrggghhhh, soooooo cute!

My Wee Man {Corey and my Sis}

Nicola Borland — Thu, 26 May 2011 00:40:46 +0000

Well I am probably not going to write too much here as it will make me start to cry.

Here is the short story: my family came for 5 weeks and now they are gone. It was a very happy time and now I am a little sad. BUT I have the cutest images of Corey and my sis, and they are going to be going up in my home studio pretty soon!

Love you wee man

Blue is for Boys {Nathan’s Newborn Session}

Nicola Borland — Sun, 15 May 2011 23:25:41 +0000

This little guy is sooo cute. He was a typical newborn that was a little bit hungry, snoozy and poopy. And of course at this age there are not that many smiles that are not connected to gas so he was very serious, but the last image is just to die for. Look at those big brown eyes!

Nathan is part of my Belly To Baby First Year Collection and I am excited to capture him at his next milestone!
