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!

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!

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!

Where to take the woman who has everything? {Mother’s Day}

Nicola Borland — Wed, 04 May 2011 04:40:57 +0000

Just kidding, she doesn’t really have everything, but where should we go? The tricky part is that it is her birthday on May 6th and Mother’s Day in the UK was about 4 weeks ago. But now she has heard on the T.V and radio about Mother’s Day here and is naturally requesting another one. She is visiting me here from Scotland along with my sister and her 2 1/2 year old son, my nephew Corey. So we have to pick a place or activity that can be done with a small, very cute, but squirmy restless typical boy’s boy who likes mud and dirt. Then of course my sister is a mum as well and if you could fur kids I am one too. So many mums in one place!

A special request has been made for seafood, a big family favorite. I know of a few places in Pasadena where I live, but was looking for some activities that Corey would like and would not make us exhausted! So what opinions do you have for activities?

What about presents? Do I need to get something for both? Can I offer my photographic services or is that an expected item anyway? Would you give the gift of photography?

Leave some comments and help a lassie out!

Here is my mum. Can you see any resemblance?

Blue Eyed Babe {Emma Noelle at 6 Months}

Nicola Borland — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:08:08 +0000

This was the second time I was able to capture some beautiful images of Emma, her first being her Newborn session back in September last year. Her wonderful family understand the importance of capturing all the precious moments that happen in the first year of baby’s life and growth and are part of my Belly to Baby First Year Collection. I love these sessions as I really get to see the wonder that is the first year of a baby’s life. I was amazing to see Emma again and see how she had grown and her personality really starting to shine.

Emma was great at her 2nd session with me at my Home Studio and was all giggles thanks to Mum, Dad and a special visit from Auntie. We spend about an hour shooting her and she didn’t cry or even get close to being tired or grumpy, as is a baby’s usual want. I was so excited to see the results of these images and again, as with her newborn images that were featured on my Christmas cards for 2010, Emma will again be my poster child for cards and materials to come soon.

Can wait to see you again soon Emma!

Sleeping Beauty {Welcoming Baby Amaya)

Baby Amaya was a little late to join us, but arrived on December 11th, 2010, weighing in at 9lbs 8oz and 23 inches, and with a very full head of hair. I have included some of our favorites from Amaya’s first professional photo session, and I think you will agree she is a natural!
