The Easter Bunny will be waiting for your Pet to visit

Bring your pet to Carnation City Mall in Alliance to be photographed with the Easter Bunny!

As we have already mentioned, we are in the process of photographing our Easter Bunny pictures for this year. While we absolutely love photographing your sweet children, who is to say that Easter Bunny pictures are just for kids? Definitely not us! That’s why we will be hosting a Pet Day Saturday, April 16 at the Carnation City Mall in Alliance. The Bunny will be available from 11-7 to pose with your favorite pets and provide you with some truly adorable Easter images.  Pets can also visit Thursday, April 21 and Friday April 22 from 4pm – 8pm.

 

We know that there is a wide variety of pet types out there, and we love photographing all of them, we do have to ask that in this instance you please limit the pets brought in to domestic pets only. We are shooting these photos in a mall, and have restrictions on space. Also, please remember that there is a person inside of the bunny suit who in some cases will need to hold the animals.

 

Mall restrictions also require that you please use the main mall entrances beside JC Penney and beside Elder Beerman. Please do not bring pets through any stores, or through the food court. Nicol Photography can not be held responsible for any damages done if these guidelines are not followed.

 

We look forward to seeing you and your pets tomorrow and capturing their images for Spring 2011. Don’t be selfish- bring along your friends and their favorite pets also. The more the merrier!

Well that time of the year has hopped back around again- Easter Bunny time at Carnation City Mall.

We absolutely love our jobs here! Now, not many of you out there in our little blogisphere can say that, but when you get to snap adorable pictures of this little angel all day, how can you blame us? Miss Ayrabella has been our muse since the ripe old age of one month, and we have since captured her in every season. When she entered the world of a one-year-old, we were there to help document that important milestone with yet another batch of lovable photos. Our most recent session with this little princess included a vast array of headband and tutus, as well as Bella’s rendition of the world’s cutest Ohio State Cheerleader.

Needless to say, we love our models and become quite attached to celebrating milestones with them, as well as playing dress up for the day and taking superior photos. Becoming so close to our models affords us great benefits- we get to know their personilities, and are able to use this knowledge to work with them in capturing the best possible images. The benefits that our clients receive? Exceptional images, a day to play and enjoy their child, and memorable images to last a lifetime.

After taking a look into what we were able to capture in our time with Ayrabella, who wouldn’t want some precious images of their own munchkins? How can you achieve quality images of your own? Contact us to schedule your session today! We’re always looking for fresh faces and would love to see you and your sweet child. Please browse our site and view some of the additional images that we have to offer. We’ll be hearing from you soon, I’m sure.

Contact us to see how can come to our studio to capture some great portraits of your little one with no session fees. Call us (330-821-7714) or contact us through our website to set up an appointment.

Once again, we had a great time photographing all of the children that came to visit Santa Claus at the Carnation City Mall – and boy were some of them surprised to find that Mrs. Claus had tagged along to make sure that everybody had a turn to tell Santa Claus what they wanted for Christmas. Even the little ones who were timid about seeing the jolly fellow would go to Mrs. Claus without much hesitation and she would pass on their Christmas gift wishes to Santa.

This year we had many children requesting a DSi, laptops,  and one unique request for an iPad. This last one took Santa by surprise, as he was a little low on his iPad stock- after all, many adults were asking for the same Christmas present. As always, Santa promised to try his best to have the presents that each child asked for but could not make any guarantees.

Catchlight Studio, and Nicol Photography, LLC sincerely hope that everyone had a great Christmas and we wish you a New Year filled with many rewarding days.

We look forward to seeing all of the children again for Easter Bunny pictures,  for Christmas this year, and any time in between. The Easter Bunny looks forward to hopping in,  we are planning on having Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus come to the Carnation City Mall again for children to visit, and we openly welcome any opportunity to help capture other great childhood memories!

Thanks again!

We had a recent visit from Christopher Popinkins. He was visiting Santa and Mrs. Claus to give his report to them of all the children that he has been visiting.

Have you been good? Or bad? Christopher Popinkins and his sister Christina Marie Popinkins are the ones that share this information with Santa.

Stop by Santa’s Workshop at the Carnation City Mall to purchase your very own Christopher or Christina Marie Popinkins to share in this unique Christmas story.

Santa Claus came to the Carnation City Mall today and for a few hours they had 2 reindeer with them.

We did not know what to expect because normally the reindeer are pulling Santa’s sleigh – not present when the children are visiting Santa. It was such a big hit – even though the photographer was in present danger from the antlers. There were a few close calls – but no one was harmed from these pictures and the children and their parents really enjoyed having a unique experience with Mr. & Mrs. Claus.

Thanks for all of those that came out to share in this experience with us.

One more day and the jolly fellow will be arriving at the Carnation City Mall.

When he arrives, not only will he have Mrs. Claus with him, but he will have 2 of his reindeer with him. Never seen a live reindeer before? Come to the Carnation City Mall to see what they look like, and get your portrait done with Santa, Mrs. Claus and one of the reindeer. This will be such a unique image only available at Carnation City Mall, and it will only be available from 11 am to 1 pm Saturday, November 20.

Get there early to get a spot in the line and get ready for a really unique experience. This will be great for young and old alike.

Our School and Event Studio will be photographing Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Carnation City Mall from Nov. 20 to Dec. 24 – check out a blog post below to see what days and hours that we will be at the mall.

Here is the price list for portraits taken of Santa Claus.

The jolly fellow will be visiting Carnation City Mall. He will be in his workshop, which is near the center court – just head towards Elder-Beerman, and you will see Santa’s Workshop.

Here are the hours that he will be available, plus we have a week that he will be available to take pet portraits – children are welcome at all times.

Reindeer – we will have live reindeer at the Grand Opening of Santa’s workshop on November 20. For 2 hours your children can have a reindeer in their Santa portrait. This is possible between 11:00 am and 1 pm.

We are currently in Niagara Falls, Ontario looking for Santa Claus. Rumors are that he hangs out in a place that is cold and full of snow – well that would be further north then Niagara Falls, maybe I can ask my photographer friend in Sudbury, Ontario if he has seen him yet. James – any sign of the big jolly fellow?

Just kidding – its Bruce’s 40th birthday, and we decided to go to Niagara Falls to check out their water park, and its not too bad. They have some great slides, and there is lots of water (kind of the main ingredient for a water park, I guess). The only problem with being in the water for over 4 hours is that all of your skin starts to look like a prune. Or maybe its the age?

If anyone knows of the whereabouts of the jolly red fellow – tell him that he is needed at the Carnation City Mall to greet the children on November 20.
