Alexis from Louisville High School

She came to us with many trophies, several different outfits and a great personality. Often we do not have a chance to see the personality of our seniors during our initial chat, when we talk about clothing choices as well as what the senior and their parents are looking for in terms of images from the senior session. We approach all of our sessions with the same steps and wait to see what the senior will do so that we can capture their personality with our cameras.

Alexis was such a natural in our studio. She loved to laugh and her smile was infectious. The image below was taken in our basement, along with several others.

Showing her personality

Here is Alexis having fun and letting her personality come through. We always encourage our Seniors, as well as all other clients of ours, to have fun and let their personalities come out so that we can capture a little of that personality with our cameras so that it can be shared for years to come. Alexis had no problems with being a little silly in front of my camera and that made the session happen natural and not looking like typical “school picture” session that so many students are use from kindergarten up to their junior year.

Thank you for coming to our studio last night and having fun during your senior session. I had a blast.

Capturing High School Senior Portraits – Every aspect of a Senior’s final high school year

We had the chance to go to one of Kody’s practices and photograph another key ingredient that makes Kody who he is. Golf is a big part of Kody’s high school experience – not having these portraits taken would not have captured Kody’s high school experience as well as the sport that he was most involved with during his high school years.

Some time to play

Being all serious is not all that its cracked up to be. We like to try and inject some fun into our sessions – with Kody we asked him if he would like to have an image done that would be a play on a nickname for golf. Can you tell what that nickname is?

We would like to thank Kody and his mom Pam for indulging us with this pictures, especially the last one. We had a blast photographing Kody, and I hope to have another session with him in the studio.

 

Senior Models

Summer is generally a time of year that brings about changes and farewells for Nicol Photography, as we say good bye to our graduating seniors. However with every goodbye comes a new beginning, and our latest of such beginnings comes in the form of our newest senior models. And, however much we will miss our recently graduated seniors, we are anxious to begin working with our newest chapter of senior models and getting to know each of their unique personalities.

Marlington High School – Senior

Emily has come to us recently from Marlington High School. We had an incredible time having her in the studio! Her bubbly personality made her a joy to work with, and she seemed to truly enjoy her photo session. Prior to her model session, she informed us that she loves to have her picture taken, and she more than proved that during her session. Emily is definitely a busy girl, as she occupies her time with soccer, her church group, and swimming, but we’re glad that she has chosen to add “Nicol Photography senior model representative” to her list of activities!

Minerva High School - Senior

Kody is yet another of our new arrivals here at the studio. He attends Minerva High School, and is actively involved with the golf team and (as we discovered first-hand during his session) a wide variety of aquatic sports, also. Upon our initial consult with Kody, he seemed quiet, but once we got him out in the water and in his “comfort zone”, we almost could get him to stop posing! Welcome to the Nicol Photography senior model team, Kody!

West Branch High School - Senior

Jolene is our most recent new arrival. She was a referral from one of our past models, and come to us from West Branch High School. Jolene is involved in both tennis and culinary arts, and surprised us by coming into the studio toting a load of delicious looking baked goods especially for her pictures. Jolene is very proud of her exuberant creativity, and we can’t wait to further explore her creative side in her senior sessions! Jolene, welcome! You’ll be a wonderful addition to our senior family!

If you are a current or soon to be High School Senior – We would love to hear from you.

We’re anxiously looking forward to this group of senior models, and always looking for more who are eager to join them.

Not only will this process be simple and painless, but you will also have the option of choosing from a couple different backdrops and will be able to leave with printed images from our studio.  Lower wait time, choices of background, AND same day images- can you get that from the photographer on location? Probably not.

Here are Katy’s Prom Portraits – Sebring High School.

Katy had her prom portrait captured at our studio last week before her prom. What did she hear when she showed up at her prom with some wallets to give to her friends? “OMG – you have your pictures ALREADY?!?” We have the ability to print onsite and NOT inkjet prints. You can purchase wallets, 4×6, 5×7, and 8×10  from our printers – the 8×10 take about 1.5 minutes to print, but are high quality portraits that were just created in our studio. Portrait packages for our Prom Portrait Promotion start at only $15. While this pricing, and your variety of options are fantastic, the best thing is that you get your prom portraits immediately.

We are looking forward to those that will be coming to see us for prom images within the next couple weekends.

Graduation portraits  - Cap and Gown

May is finally upon us, and that means that the time is nearing for students to sing their alma mater, receive their diploma, and toss their caps to the sky. It’s time for farewells, congratulations, and new beginnings. It’s time to close one chapter of life, and embark upon a new one. It’s time for a big step in your life. So, how will you seniors remember your graduation day?

Graduation is a day that most every senior has been anxiously awaiting. Whether you have been waiting for this day since you began school twelve years ago, have been impatiently counting down your senior year ready for something new, are sad to be graduating and leaving friends, or are just looking forward to your graduation party and gifts, Nicol Photography has just the idea for helping to commemorate this momentous occasion- cap and gown photos at our studio.

Graduation ceremonies

Graduation ceremonies are busy, rushed, crowded events. Many schools do not offer professionals to photograph you in your cap and gown, and the best photography you may get is a blurred snapshot from a proud relative. However, suppose you want a better photo to document this paramount event. That is where we come in.

Nicol Photography will be offering cap and gown sessions beginning on May 1, and extending until graduations have ended. These sessions range for 10 minutes, and packages will be starting at $15.00. For more information, please feel free to contact us via email, Facebook, or by telephone at 330.821.7714.

You may also schedule your session now, by clicking the link here and choosing your time and date for cap and gown photos. Or contact us through this site at this link.

Nicol Photography is, as always, thrilled by your decision to make us a part of your graduation planning process, and to be your first choice for cap and gown images. We look forward to scheduling your session, and to assist you with the commemoration of your 2011 graduation!

Jessica Chose Nicol Photography for her Senior Portraits.

 

We also got to photograph her  senior session with a horse.

This spring has been bringing up tons of new faces for the 2011 senior class, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have them. Jessica is one of our newest seniors, and she has been incredible to work with. We have not only had the pleasure of photographing with her in our studio, but have also gone out to take some of her senior pictures on a horse, which turned out amazing.

Jessica is a natural in front of the camera, and always has a smile on her face. She was so much fun to work with, and gave us a wonderful variety of photos. We photographed her in everything from her everyday ensembles to her cheer leading uniform to her prom dress, and she looked fantastic in every single one of them.

Thank you Jessica for choosing us to capture your senior images! We truly hope you have had as much fun being photographed by us as we have had capturing your senior images. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, and best wishes for the future!

Anyone can contact us to schedule their senior photo session and get their own set of flawless keepsake imagery. If you have not yet had your 2011 senior session, it is not too late!

Alliance High School Senior

It’s coming close to the end of the year, and we normally do get some last minute requests for senior images. Ashley was busy with being a senior as well as running her cars down the tracks. While photographing Ashley I found out that is an extremely accomplished driver on the local tracks and also quite well known in other areas of this state.

Breaking the age old stereo type of a female driver – she consistently leaves her male competition in her dust. It was only during our first photo session that I was told she drove cars REALLY fast on closed tracks. This peaked my curiosity and we absolutely had to photograph her with the car that she drives.

A typical Senior Image.

 

Then we tried something that Ashley asked for. We always take requests, and if its a challenge from the Senior – I am always up for a challenge.

And to top it all off – this Senior spends some of her spare time going REALLY fast in cars. This is legal, she drives on a closed track – and from what I am told, she wins quite a few races.

Ashley – I had fun photographing your Senior Session, and I know that you did to because you told me that I was crazy. Having fun at a photo session is what we strive for – that and some really cool pictures.

It turned out to be a Senior plus their Car – Saturday at the Studio.

I knew that my first session as going to involve a senior and his car, but little did I know that my second session that day would also involve a car (the blog post with another car image will  be seen Monday).

Aaron came to us to do some studio portraits, including our graffiti basement, and he wanted some pictures on the train tracks plus some with his car. For a guy a car is like an extension of himself. Often times its not in the greatest  shape – but its his! Aaron had  nice car, it showed some age – but overall it looked and sounded nice. So we needed to get some cool senior boy images with his car.

Here is an image from his first session, in the basement of our studio.

Here is an image of Aaron with his car.

An one from the train tracks.

Senior photography is something that I enjoy photographing, because its an area that we get challenged to bring something different to the senior and his/her parents.

Think you can challenge us? Give us a try, I am always up for a challenge, and when I am successful I will post the image to our blog to so that you can share the image with friends and family members.
