A Family Affair {Maria and Greg}

Nicola Borland — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:58:07 +0000

I was lucky enough to get invited to capture some fun times with the families of Maria and Greg, to celebrate their recent wedding nuptials. I felt like one of the family as I walked around and captured those special moments. I look forward to the next family celebration and wish Maria and Greg a long and happy life together!

Chemistry Geeks {Mary and Alex’s Engagement}

Nicola Borland — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:23:49 +0000

Well, obviously we did not shoot these images in a Chemistry class, but that’s where Mary and Alex met almost 10 years ago! I really enjoyed hanging out at their upcoming nuptials location and getting to know them better before the big day. We explored the location and decided on where to shoot the formal family portraits and had fun playing around. I am really excited about shooting their wedding on September 5th, and know they are both gonna look amazing!

The Sunshine in Skye {Senaida and Skye}

Nicola Borland — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 23:10:30 +0000

Skye was one of my first clients as a solo photographer a few years ago. Her mother Senaida, is an amazing esthetician that is the only one who touches my eyebrows! She works out of a cool salon in Old Pasadena called Salon Sessions, so be sure to call her next time you need any beauty treatments are a relaxing massage.

Skye started off the session at my studio a little shy, but as we progressed her inner America’s Next Top Model can out and she was the one directing me around the shot. She is a very smart and funny girl and it was great to hang out with her and her mother again. I just know she is going to grow into a beautiful young lady and I can’t wait to be there to capture it.

The Hottest Stylist I Know {April Ray}

Nicola Borland — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:50:02 +0000

April is one hot mama, and I think you’ll agree! This was a really fun relaxed shoot and I am so excited about what it resulted in! I especially love the ones with the blue background. It’s actually an old beat up truck that stopped to haul away some trash. I know what you’re thinking. I take my clients to the classiest places! I know, but how cool are these images?

April has a really cool and funky hair salon in Montrose, CA. It’s called April Ray Salon. As you know I have really curly hair and have had many a bad poodle cut in my day, so when I found April I was overjoyed. If any of you need a great new hair style, or gentle color that lasts and isn’t full of amonia, then April is your gal!

Thanks for letting me take some amazing headshots of you, April, and I can’t wait for my next style!

The New Arrivals {Kantor Family Portrait}

Nicola Borland — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 00:17:34 +0000

This family were the lucky winners of a portrait gift certificate from The Little Gym in La Cañada. They are new to the area and what better way to start than with a new family portrait, even including Tex, their 12 year old lab! It was great meeting this family and chatting with them, especially Dad Jonathan, whom is also a photographer. He does some amazing product and beauty photography. Check him out at jonathankantor.com. I am looking forward to getting to know this family better and showing them some cool hot spots in their new neighborhood!

Mommy and Her Muscle Man {Natalie, Wyatt and Baby Zane}

Nicola Borland — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:15:34 +0000

Even though she is due in only 22 days, Natalie still decided there was time enough before the big day to capture some special moments, with Baby Zane still in her belly and Big Brother Wyatt by her side. They both came to my home studio in Pasadena last week for our session. Wyatt was a little shy at first, but after some funny face pulling we were getting along fine and Wyatt was a testament to his parents love. He was so well behaved and he listened to my direction so well I was amazed.

Wyatt has such a sweet smile and I know he will make a great big brother in a few weeks. I am very happy for Natalie and Michael as well and look forward to meeting Baby Zane soon!

Puppy Dog Tails {Tyler the Black Boxer}

Nicola Borland — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 21:23:56 +0000

Tyler is the cutest little black Boxer puppy you have seen. He has all the things a puppy should have, energy, tenacity, big paws and sharp little baby teeth! I had great fun chasing him around my front garden and catching him in the middle of all his mischief. I look forward to watching him grow into a beautiful, and hopefully well behaved dog!

The Making of a New Little Man {Antonio Gael’s Baptism}

Nicola Borland — Fri, 07 May 2010 07:26:39 +0000

I have been lucky enough to take images of Antonio from 7 days old and was so happy to be a part of this milestone in his life. All his family were gathered on this special day to see him become a part of their faith. Antonio was not quite aware of the importance of the situation as he was laughing and giggling throughout the service at St John Eudes Catholic Church in Chatsworth. He did really well with the poring of the Holy Water on his head, as did his Godparents, Hector and Ester.

After the service we all went back to his new Godparents house for some family time. Antonio had a great time with his big cousins on the bouncy castle. I think he liked the colors and the not being on solid ground part. All the friends and family that were there loved seeing him in his little white suit and with the coolest little white chucks as well. I am loving being a friend of Antonio and being there for all his big days. Next big, 1 year old!!!

The Three Little Lovelies {Hudson, Channing and Keeten}

Nicola Borland — Fri, 07 May 2010 05:26:01 +0000

These are the last little ones of my Mother’s Day specials to come to my home studio. Hudson is a great big brother, listens well and holds his little brother just right. Channing is a cheeky little one that loves, loves, loves getting tickled, and Keeten, is the little brother with the big blue eyes. I had great fun with these three. Especially holding Keeten as the end of our session while mum got the other two ready to go. His little legs are so cute and chubby!

The Lollipop Monsters {Cayden and Charley}

Nicola Borland — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:07:55 +0000

These two little blond haired gigglers are Cayden and Charley. They love to run, giggle, and tickle. And they LOVE being bribed with lollipops. Especially the red ones that make your mouth go red as well! We had a quick session in my home studio that was great fun and exhausting for the adults present. Namely their lovely mum and myself.

Their Uncle Taylor just proposed to their new Aunt Jamie in a very Cool way, that you can see below, and we are all very happy for them. Can’t wait for the next time with these two little ones!
