I have started a new project for a family this year. Every month I am photographing Costner as he grows. We are having a great time with this and it is fun to be creative on a monthly basis for one client. Here are the first two months. I'm sure I will post more in the future.

2010-04-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite subjects to photograph is preschool aged children. If we lived in a big city, I think I would just travel from preschool to preschool photographing the kiddos! This week will be a group of wonderful kids from a local preschool.

Spring Portrait Special

2010-04-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

It is that time of year again. I will be holding my spring portrait package special.

Contact Nicci at nicci@ngcphotography.com to reserve your time. Portraits will be done in front of a white background. For questions or suggestions on clothing, feel free to contact me. Time slots are booking quickly so please don't hesitate to contact me.

It's Been Awhile

2010-04-07T01:47:00.000-07:00

It has been so busy around the Crowley household that I haven't kept up on my blogging. In between being a wife, mother, photographer, coach, dance teacher and soccer administrator, blogging fell to the wayside. But now I'm back! Over the next few weeks, keep an eye out on weekdays while I put up new images.
Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog, and I can't wait to show you some beautiful portraits!
Happy Spring!

2010-01-01T19:12:00.000-08:00

As a New Year's resolution, I am going to take one (at least) photograph a day on my Blackberry Storm 2. This will push me to see new things in my world and celebrate it.

Sure do miss you guys!!!

Hannah & Taylor - Part 2

2009-09-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Today is Taylor's portrait. She never enjoys getting her portrait done. She gets very sober as soon as the camera, but sober or not, I feel this is a beautiful reflection of who she is.

Hannah & Taylor - Part 1

2009-09-21T08:00:00.000-07:00

Every year I am blessed to photograph my friend's twin girls for their birthday. Today is Hannah's portrait.

2009-09-18T08:08:00.000-07:00

Janeth - Part 4

2009-09-17T08:07:00.000-07:00

Intense eyes. Love it!

Here is another. Isn't she gorgeous? She has the most beautiful hair I've seen.

Janeth - Part 1

2009-09-15T08:04:00.000-07:00

I missed putting this up yesterday! Thought I had pre-posted for all this week, but I didn't. OOOPPPS!
This week we are going to look at Janeth's senior session. Janeth and Lauren (last week's senior) are very good friends. It was so much fun creating different looks for them when the both had a lot of the same ideas.
Enjoy.

Lauren - Part 3

2009-09-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

This is what her mom ordered. I think she will look back at this in the future and be able to remember the different aspects of her daughter. Gorgeous!

Lauren - Part 2

2009-09-09T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another from Lauren's session. Quite playful!

Lauren

2009-09-08T15:41:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago, I photographed Lauren. As you can tell, she is BEAUTIFUL! We had a great time. This week we will look at her images. Enjoy.

Lawson Family

2009-08-26T06:37:00.000-07:00

When Chris and I got engaged, I always loved to hear stories of couples married for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson are a great example. Next month they will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your celebration by commemorating this special time with a beautiful portrait.

Dr. Karen Libsch

2009-08-21T08:00:00.000-07:00

Earlier this week, I photographed our primary care physican, Dr. Libsch. Like most adults, she wasn't too gung-ho about getting photographed, but I think as you can see, the end result was great!
Cortez will not be the same when she moves in a couple months. I am so glad that she was our doctor with Amita's birth. She is a wonderful and caring doctor. IRREPLACEABLE!

The Gustafson Family - Part 5

2009-08-14T10:03:00.000-07:00

And last but not least, I also photographed Wilda's children together. I think you can really see their relationship in these portraits. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The Gustafson Family - Part 4

2009-08-13T10:01:00.000-07:00

2009-08-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

Today we'll look at Carl Jr's family. SInce they don't live in the area, I enjoyed getting to know them at the session on the Dolores River. What cute kids!

The Gustafson Family

2009-08-10T09:56:00.000-07:00

This summer, I had the opportunity to photograph all the Gustafson grandchildren and each of the family groups. Today, we'll be looking at Wilda's family portraits. I have had the opportunity to get to know Wilda and her children at church. They are a wonderful family and I couldn't find nicer kids for my children to be around. I feel blessed having you all a part of my life!

Rylee - Part 4

2009-07-03T08:00:00.000-07:00

And finally, my favorite of the group. Very dramatic!

Rylee - Part 3

2009-07-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

This one was inspired by some of my dad's work. (However I could probably say that about a lot of my stuff!)

Rylee - Part 2

2009-06-23T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another...

Rylee - Part 1

2009-06-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

And another...

Maurice - Part 1

2009-06-15T08:00:00.000-07:00

Back in March I was on the hunt for some senior reps. Here is Maurice, another one of those reps. We had a great time working together on these portraits.

Denelle

2009-06-11T08:00:00.000-07:00

Earlier this month I photographed Denelle Eknes for a business portrait. Denelle is a local resident who does energy healing. She is about to embark on a new venture implementing energy healing as an alternative health care possibility for those who are injured. Denelle has a wonderful spirit and was a joy to work with. I hope you can see her healing spirit in her eyes in this portrait. If energy balancing is something you are interested in, you can contact Denelle at denelle.eknes@gmail.com. As her business card says, "Be Well".

Belt Family - Part 5

2009-06-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

And finally, Alisa and Kelly together.

Belt Family - Part 4

2009-06-04T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another family portrait.

Belt Family - Part 3

2009-06-03T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another of the family. This has become one of my signature looks for families with little ones. (Especially active little ones!)

Belt Family - Part 2

2009-06-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

Alisa wanted an intimate portrait of her, her husband and their 10 month old daughter. I feel we really accomplished that with this one.

Belt Family - Part 1

2009-06-01T08:00:00.000-07:00

This week we will be looking at my session I did with the Belt Family. They were so much fun to photograph! What cute kiddos.

2010 Seniors

2009-05-01T08:00:00.000-07:00

As you can tell by the portraits of Ronni, we had a great time during her session. If you have a teenager who is about to be a senior, or know someone who will be graduating in 2010, be sure to tell them about this blog.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Enjoy!

Facebook and Myspace Portraits - Part 3

2009-04-24T08:00:00.000-07:00

Wrapping up the facebook and myspace portraits are some individuals. You might be asking, "why the black and white?" Well, for good reason. Before I photograph someone for a full session, we sit down and do a design consultation where we discuss clothing and other things. Of course for the facebook portraits, we didn't have a design consultation so I converted everyone to black and white to take away all the clothing distractions. Hope you have enjoyed them.
If you are on facebook or myspace, find me and let's be "friends!"

Facebook and Myspace Portraits - Part 2

2009-04-23T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more. People just love their kids!!

Facebook and Myspace Portraits - Part 1

2009-04-22T08:56:00.000-07:00

This last weekend, I had a booth at the home and garden show here in Cortez. While there, I offered folks the opportunity to get a portrait taken for their facebook or myspace accounts. For those who stopped by, THANKS! Over the week, I'll be posting some of the samples. Not bad for only taking one or two shots per person!!
Enjoy. Today we will do all the folks photographed with their babies.

Easter Special

2009-03-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

Postcards went out yesterday about the Easter Special happening later this month.

Join me at Cortez 1st United Methodist Church's Fellowship Hall (515 N. Park) MARCH 28th from 10AM to 4PM!!!

WHAT WILL IT COST?
Package 1: 2 4x5s, 4 Billfolds (2.5x3.5) $20.00
Package 2: 1 8x10, 4 Billfolds $30.00
Package 3: 1 8x10, 1 5x7, 4 Billfolds $40.00
Additional Billfolds (set of 4), 2 5x7s or 1 8x10 $10.00 each
Additional Family Members: $2.00 each family member for families over 5 people
Payment by check or cash required when portraits are taken.
HOW WILL IT WORK?
I will have a simple white backdrop set up. It will be kind of like school portraits. I will take 5-10 images of your portrait. Then I will select the best, retouch it and fill your package order with the best portrait. You can have people photographed individually or as a family. There is a slight additional charge for families with more than 5 people (to cover additional retouching). You will then be contacted when your portraits are ready for pick up.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Since I will be using a white background, it will work with nearly anything you might want to wear. Do stick with simple tops. Generally the less pattern the better. If we are photographing more than one person in the portrait, try to coordinate colors so everyone looks "put together".
WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS:
Feel free to e-mail me at nicci@ngcphotography.com or call me at 570.9372 with any additional questions.

I'm not going to blog the rest of this month so this entry will stay at the top. I look forward to seeing you, Saturday, March 28th for the Easter Special.

Ali - Part 3

2009-02-26T08:00:00.000-08:00

And finally, this one was my personal favorite. Great smile, bright eyes, so much personality. LOVE IT!

Ali - Part 2

2009-02-25T08:00:00.000-08:00

One of Ali's favorite things right now is her stick horse "Cherry". They are the best of friends. What better to photograph her with than something that means so much to her at this time.
Happy birthday, Miss Ali.

Ali

2009-02-24T13:07:00.000-08:00

Winter is always a quiet time for photography, but we can still do great things in the studio. I photograph Ali every year for her birthday. Today, tomorrow and Thursday I'll have some of her portraits from her fourth birthday session. Ali is always so much fun and who can resist those dimples and beautiful blue eyes.

New Phone Number

2009-02-19T13:27:00.000-08:00

Due to an extremely high amount of calls for the previous owners of my work phone number, I am going to let go of the land line and just work from my cell phone number. For appointments or questions, please call 970.570.9372.
Have a wonderful weekend all.
