Hello! My name is Nicole Darling and I am so glad that you found my blog. I am a photographer based out of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. Please leave me a comment as I love to hear what you think. Thanks for stopping by!

I am an extremely lucky woman. I am married to my best friend, and I am currently a stay at home mother of two wonderful little boys. Avery is 4.5, and Braxton is 2.5, both of their birthday's are in September. I am a photographer, a sister, a daughter, a wife, mother, and a best friend.

My business includes: Portrait Photography, Maternity, Newborns, Babies, Children, Families, & Seniors (Both Kinds :-) Engagements and Wedding photography. Capturing a child's' personality is my passion.

An English Proverb said "The eyes are the window to the Soul", and I try to capture more than just a "Picture", I want you to be moved when you look at my photos.

Family

I shot the girls from this family last year when we were doing a photoshoot for "Funzees".  These girls are absolutely adorable and are quite the little models.  Their son is also absolutely adorable, of shall I say Handsome.  They are a great family, and I had a lot of fun working with them.  I wanted to put up a couple before heading to bed.  Enjoy!

Hi Moms!!  I wanted to let you all know that the ACTIVE KIDS website has launched and is now live and active!  When you have a chance, please check it out at www.activekidsdirec tory.com !!  Be sure to add your email address to the sign-up on the homepage to receive local family and kid- related information and promotions from your favorite businesses! 

I am adding advertisers daily!  I will also be posting contributing articles to the website from experts in the child-rearing/ family-related profession as well as a community calendar and other helpful content!  If you have any suggestions, would like to see something in particular, or can recommend a favorite business, please feel free to contact me!  I would love to hear your suggestions!  This is a tool for mommies (and Dads) to help navigate the crazy world of parenting!!

I started the ACTIVE KIDS, because although I was born and raised in Danville and have lived in Pleasanton for 10 years, until I became a mom, I wasn't familiar with any kid-related business.  Aside from Babies R Us, I was a bit lost!  I wanted to create a directory specifically targeted to the East Bay/680 corridor that included anything and everything kids (with a little for mommy too!).  I also wanted to offer smaller businesses a cost-effective marketing vehicle where they could gain awareness for their companies.

I will be adding tons of fun and unique products and services, from music classes, boutiques, play places, birthday party venues, etc., please check back!  The publication and website just launched and continue sto grow each and every month!

Thanks so much!!

1st Gorgeous Niece

We played Peek-a-boo from behind the camera, her sweet little smile, and cute little laugh was music to my ears.  I miss this little girl, and am sad I only get to see her a few times a year.  The first photo is her with her new little brother, my adorable nephew.
