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.

I Heart Faces Friday Challenge

I decided to take the photo challenge along with a ton of other photographers to edit the following photograph. I edited 2 different versions that will be posted below.  It is a lot of fun to see everyone's edits because one person can take a photograph, but every photographer has their own style so no 2 photographs are the same.  Here is the photograph we were asked to edit.

Before: 

 

































After: Edits 1 and 2

"B"'s Newborn Photoshoot, Danville Newborn Photographer

He was such a dream, he slept the entire session, and gave me a ton of different facial expressions, including smiles, being scared, and yawns. His brother is also a little Ham, he loved my squeaker, and wanted to get into all of my props. Here is a sneak peek mom, hope you like them.

Remember this gorgeous mom to be?? I took her photos 3 days before her son arrived, talk about perfect timing. He came three 3 weeks early and he is so precious! This is what I am working on right now. I love it!

A's Newborn Shoot, San Ramon Newborn Photographer

This little fiesty girl gave mommy and I a run for our money. She wanted to be awake for the whole session. This is my definition of absolute perfection, isnt she a beauty?
