Nicole Rogers Photography bio picture

Welcome to my blog!  Here you will find my most recent sessions, information on specials and contests, and a little bit of everything.  Go to www.nicolerogersphotography.blogspot.com for my old blog. 

My heart, as your photographer, is to establish a lasting relationship with you, become your friend, and to document what is real and precious in your life. My work is fun, evokes emotion, and life. It wouldn't be fair for me to ask you who you are and for you to not know anything about me.  Well, here is a glimpse...

First and foremost, I am a follower of Christ.  I identify so much with this quote:

"You, O Lord, have created us for yourself, and our heart finds no rest, until it rests in You." St. Augustine

I am a wife of 4 years.  My husband is a hero.  He serves our country and the city of Charlotte.  At the end of the day, all I want to be is curled up on our couch with him.

I am a daughter to two amazing parents, a sister to 4 others, an aunt to 3 nephews and 3 neices.  My family motivates, strengthens, and revives my soul.

I love popcorn and ice cream.

I have spent time in Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Panama, so I have fallen in love with Spanish culture.

I am half-Italian.  My goal is to go to Italy next year (the place where some of my ancestors are from).

I love everything about Athropologie (I may be a little obsessed).

There are pictures of the people I love all around my house because having those pictures are little pockets of time bottled up in an image I can treasure forever.

Baby McKenna…Fort Mill, SC Photographer

I first met this little cutie as a newborn.  I had the wonderful opportunity to go down to the home of the “L” family to document Miss McKenna at 6 months old.  I enjoyed seeing you guys again!  Enjoy your slideshow here!

Baby Gavin…Gastonia, NC newborn photographer

This little guy came into the world only a few days ago.  I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to document his first few days of life, to observe his mother and father embrace him and look at him in awe, and to photograph all of his tiny features.  What a miracle newborns are!  Thank you “P” family!  Enjoy your slideshow here!  I look forward in the next time.

Welcome Baby Delaney…Rock Hill, SC newborn photographer…

It was last year that I was approached by Alice who had me over to photograph her new son, Blake.  This year, I was so pleased when she had me back over to photograph yet another member of the “D” family…beautiful, baby Delaney.   She had the most beautiful little face!  Congratulations Alice, Kevin, and Blake!  Enjoy your slideshow here!

My heart soars when…Belmont, NC Photographer

I am not trying to fluff my own feathers…for those of you who really know me, know that I am quite the opposite of a very confident person.  When I receive a comment like the one below from a client…it makes my heart soar and thank God for the opportunity to do what I do.

Hi Nicole –

 
I’m so in love with all of the pictures!  The package was beautiful and the photo “boards” are exceptional.  Thank you for doing such a wonderful job for us – wish I would have found you sooner.  We will want more pictures this summer or fall.   Let me think about the next venue and if you have any suggestion, we are open.  You are very talented and I feel blessed to have found you. 
 
 
Thanks so much - 
 
Judy

Beautiful newborn babe…Charlotte, NC newborn photographer

I photographed the beautiful “P” family this past Fall.  They recently welcomed another addition to their family…baby Reeves.  They are so proud of her…and who wouldn’t be!?  She is gorgeous!  I loved how her big sister, Ryland, was so engaged and loving towards her.  Thank you “P” family for allowing me to document this important time in your life.  Enjoy your slideshow here!

Day at the park…Charlotte, NC Children’s Photographer

I photographed this little guy when he was still in the womb.  I had just started out and his mommy, Arwen, is someone I have known since high school.  Yesterday we attempted a session outside.  It was very bright and sunny, but very cold.  He was not a happy camper in the beginning because he had been woken up from a nap and like I said, it was very COLD!  But, we got him bundled up and had him doing what he does best…playing.  Thank you Arwen for the opportunity to document your little guy at 2 years old.  Enjoy your slideshow here!

Product Spotlight…Cards!

I never got around to sharing a couple of Christmas cards that I received from two different clients over the holidays.  The first few are of the beautiful “S” family.  I was hesitant to sell my digital images at first because I didn’t know how the end product would look.  This particular client of mine used Minted for her Christmas card needs and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how they turned out.  If you do not go through me, I highly recommend them or Tiny Prints.  If you would like other recommendations of labs I approve with digital collections, please ask!  Otherwise, I cannot guarantee a good outcome.

Baby Summer…Belmont, NC Baby Photographer

This family began with two Belmont natives falling in love in high school.  I always love meeting high school sweethearts.  I married my college sweetheart and feel like we have grown up together, but I can’t imagine how much more high school sweethearts do.  I know that their hearts are flood with memories of the first time they saw each other, their first kiss, their graduation day…and so on and so on.  These high school sweethearts brought into the world a beautiful little boy (with gorgeous red hair) four years ago, but only 3 weeks ago, they brought home a sweet baby girl.   Thank you so much “M” family for having me document this important time in your life.  Enjoy your slideshow here!
