Hey Everyone........ NIcole Taylor Photography is moving!!!!!!

Well.... my feet are staying planted in lower Fairfield County to continue serving our CT, NY & NJ clients, BUT..... the blog is hitting the road!

Please come join me @ the new Nicole Taylor Photography Blog
where you will have access to galleries, my favorite links, some contests , peaks to recent sessions and the joy of my sarcasm.... I promise you.. it all comes with a smile! ;-)

The construction is not quit complete but it's on it's way. and if you have been trying to access the website, unfortunately at the upload of the blog I completely wiped that out, :-(
Which is alright... NO WORRIES..... because that was in need of some serious updating also.
Regardless, this blog will remain up, so feel free to come back to this one to check out some of my older work while I continue working on the new blog/site where we will posting our more recent sessions.

I will see you on the new blog site and THANK YOU for your patience as Nicole Taylor Photography goes through this transition and try to keep up the best I can! ! ;-)

Much love,

I LOVE Michael Buble.... ( Nicole Taylor Photography | a Wanna Be Concert Photographer }

Go ahead, make fun of me. A girl my age has a school girl crush on a celebrity singer. Sure I've loved Michael Buble for a few years now, but never really quit appreciated him to the fullest extent of his talent.
But after seeing him live at Madison Square Garden this weekend..... I have a new found deeper love for his music and him as an entertainer. He just makes you FEEL what he sings, he puts his heart and soul into those vocals and you can just see the little flying hearts as they flutter around him like an animation. ROMACE people... the man screams ROMANCE!
AND... let me add, not only is he a VERY talented musician, but he would make one heck of a comedian as well. He's an entertainer of the truest sense. And shoot me down as maybe I feel this way being from the "younger Generation" but I'm partial to him over Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. May he RIP but I am BUBBLY for Buble. ( laughing at myself for even typing that ) .
I hope I have the opportunity to see him again, I hope I'm able to get floor seats. I wish MORE THEN ANYTHING that I could take my own camera into the concert with me instead of a crappy little point and shoot ( sorry Alicia... it's not THAT crappy, it served it's purpose... I'm just sayin' ) ... and I wish my girl friend ALicia wouldn't have been sick and stuck in our hotel room , so that she could have enjoyed this concert with me. Here's hoping to next time Alicia!

and a HUGE THANK YOU to my AWESOME Husband who didn't blink an eye when I said I was going to Manhattan over night to see Michael Buble. He's the best! LOVE YOU MORE then M.B & T.M ( that would be Tim Mcgraw ) . ;-)
and Thank you to Daniel, the man who bought my friends ticket .

Here are some pics I took with my girlfriends camera and my Droid phone, lol

Angela & Nick | A White Wedding at Cortlandt Colonial - Westchester Wedding Photographer



Whenever I think of Angela and Nicks wedding it's always going to be associated with either Billy Idols "White Wedding" and maybe a little of Murphy's Law , which states " Anything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong."
I have to laugh though, because if you knew the story leading up to this wedding, you would know it holds true. All in good humor now though.

I'd like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Mother Nature though for dropping 3 feet of snow on us the day before. It made for a BEAUTIFUL drive up and a GORGEOUS backdrop and it didn't damper the excitement and anticipation for Angela. Also a Thank you to the guys at Cortlandt Colonial who really put their backs into it, to shovel space for us to take pictures. ( you try talking a bunch of brides maids in open toed heals to walk in the snow. lol ) You're the best!

Congratulations Nick and Angela! ! ! !

BTW: Does anyone else think that Nick looks like Matthew Fox?

and thank you to Melissa Kosswig for helping me out!

Sneak peak Maternity Session | Stamford Maternity Photographer

I love it when my clients come back to me to document another chapter in their life. and this was the case for Amanda.

I photographed Amandas first Maternity session almost 2 years ago. It's funny to see how much my style has changed since then. This time she knew she was in for some possibly crazy requests and was a very willing participant!


here's a quick peak ... more to come later!

;-)


A Birth Story | Greenwich Hospital - Greenwich Birth Photographer

A Birth is one of the greatest moments I love to capture. The anticipation, the excitement, for some it's their first child , for others it's their first boy, girl or multiples. There is so much emotion that comes with this moment ..... it's truly PRICELESS.

So how exciting it was for me to have the opportunity to capture the birth of Ali and Joes new baby.

I got the call at midnight that they were heading to the hospital. At 3 am my phone rang again jolting me out of a sleep that apparently occurred wile watching Jimmy Fallons Late night show.... don't ask . Joe informs me that Allie was fully dilated and they were getting ready to have the baby!
" WHAT?! That was quick! What happened to calling me back at 5 cm's? ! " was my reaction as I jumped off the couch and started gathering up my gear. Lucky for me all the surrounding hospitals are easy for me to get to. So off I went.....

As luck would have it I happened to arrive just a few minutes before all the action started ! WHEW! Good thing because I would have been soooo upset had I missed the opportunity of capturing Joes TOUCHDOWN reaction when he heard the words..

" IT's A BOY ! " .

At 3:39 am I think all of Greenwich Hospital was awake with us at the sound of Joes excitement. Yeah...I kick myself for not flipping the switch to video for that. lol

So introducing little Joseph and his first moments of life.
Congratulations Joe, Allie and big sister Layla.
