Christmas through my camera

So, my last session was sometime in the middle of December so I could take some "time off" to enjoy the Holiday season.  But, Christmas comes with sooooo many reasons to take pictures.  So, I've been clicking  and editing like a crazy person!!  I could have taken a million more, but feared my family was getting annoyed.  There's just so many creative ideas that roam around Christmas.  So I'm sharing a couple of my favs here.

Wishing all of you a FABULOUS Holiday Season!!  Merry Christmas!! :)

ok, sorry not so creative, but ADORABLE!! You know I had to throw that in there!!

Logo Mania ~ Dorothy Nicole Designs

Recently I've gotten a design bug!!  I don't know 100 % what I'm doing, but it's sure been fun figuring it out. I still have a lot to learn and can get a LOT better, but here's a look at some logos I've designed in the past couple months.

I've also designed Christmas Cards this year too.  Those are a LOT of fun too!!  I'll probably post most of those on my facebook page. so check 'em out! :)

This is a logo I made for fun for a business idea that my hubby and a co-worker had.  The business never made it past the idea phase.  But it was a fun to think about and fun to create a logo for!

 

This is a logo/header I made for a Blog!!  My AWESOME brother started a blog for food and entertainment in the Puget Sound area.  It's pretty cool, so you should check it out, HERE! No, he's not yet put it on his blog, but I have been assured he Loves it!  LOL!

This is the first logo I made for a client!!  She made my daughters FIRST birthday cake and smash cake.  It was adorable and so Yummy!  This logo is actually the "first round".  She also makes wreaths/crafts.  so she wanted that aspect of her business reflected a little more.  She also wasn't 100% sure about the fonts I used.  So, I I went back to the drawing board....

 

And she LOVED this one!  Her and her sister both agreed that this was the LOGO for her business!!  It's so exciting when a client is excited about your work.  REALLY!!!    If you need a cake for any occasion and/or smash cake for your little one (and likve in the August, GA area) check her out on Facebook page and "like" her page!  Thanks!

 

 Next up, I'm working on a logo for a fellow photographer/friend.  I'm looking forward to getting started on that!

I'm not sure what will come of this aspect of my business, but for now, I'm enjoying using my creative brain.  We'll see what happens in the future!

The {K} Family ~ Augusta, GA family photographer

This family was the winner of the free session that I gave away at a local holiday boutique I participated in last month.  Any BOY am I one lucky photographer.  The Mom has since become one of my biggest  fans!  They are a great BIG family!  Mom and Dad married young and started having all these adorable children, we'll beautiful might be the better word for it. He's so funny and she just laughs and laughs at him.  It's just adorable! They are all adorable together as a family! We all had a great time together.  I was sad to see the hour session end, but has greatly enjoyed working with them since.

The {A} Family ~ Evans, GA Children's photographer

I had such a nice time with these kiddos.  They were adorable together!  They would each stand behind me and help the other smile and laugh while I was taking their pics.  You can really tell they have so much love for one another.  I also loved working with the Mom before during and after their session.  I knew her before, but, now I consider her a friend.  Just another perk of the Job! :)  

I also designed an AWESOME Christmas card for them.  So stay tuned on my facebook page for that one!!  And while you there go ahead and "like" it! Thanks! :)

The {D} Family ~ Evans, GA Family Photographer

I seriously had SO much fun with this family!  That is something I just love about my job.  There are really so many wonderful people out there and it's my pleasure to meet them.  This family just joked with each other and laughed the whole time.  I honestly felt like I was part of their family!  You can truly feel the love {even with the sibling rivalry going on...hehehe}.  That you {D} family for the fun!

Also, they asked me to design their Christmas Card.  It is so much fun designing cards.  I would have NEVER thought I could, but I guess that's what you get when you say NEVER! :)

Their Christmas Card!

Their Family!

The {S} Family ~ Evans, GA family photographer

Another fun Family!!!  I just love watching how siblings interact with each other.  They are always so fun.  I hope my girls love each other as much as these kiddos do!  I just love all the joking and teasing. It's also so interesting to see how birth order effect their personalities.  You can totally tell whose the oldest and whose the baby and whose in the middle!  It's GREAT! :)  Their Dad is deployed right now so Mom wanted to take some pics of the kids.  What a gorgeous family!! :)
