Flying With Nicole and Brian

and turn up the sound for Nicole and Brian’s slide show. When the show is over, it will automatically jump back here where you can leave a comment and answer a question to win the family an 8×10 print!

-
He is easily one of the smiliest babies I’ve ever photographed!

-
Everybody loves bath time.

-
He looks like the frog! Love it!

-
This kitchen gets a daily scrubbing. Look how much water is on the bench from the baby’s splashing.

-
The kitchen is not the only thing that needed scrubbing.

-
After the bath: I love this one.

-
It was one of those days when it was raining so hard that every now and then Brian would go look in the basement to make sure it wasn’t flooding. There was no chance we were going outside, not even for a minute. So, we made do with an entirely indoor shoot, capturing various activities of their son’s day.

-
I love this one.

-
Love their beautiful wood floors and furniture too.

-
Here’s today’s question: Nicole and Brian were in the same kindergarten class. To win them an 8×10 print, leave a comment telling us which ones of the children Nicole and Brian are.

-
They didn’t realize until just before the wedding day that they had been in the same kindergarten class. Isn’t that the sweetest story?

-
Thanks Nicole and Brian. I can’t think of anything more fun to do on a yucky, rainy day than hang out with such a fun, smiley family that laughs so much and has so much fun together!





These pictures are amazing! (And I’d say that even if the subject matter weren’t my son, daughter-in-law and grandson!!) They are such a happy,loving family and you captured that in every photo. Oh yes, the nursery school photo….Brian is the handsome young man, third from the left dressed in his corduory jacket with Nicole beside him, third from the right.

How could these pictures be anything but perfect? Outstanding photographer, beautiful grandson and the perfect daughter and son in law - what more could you ask for! In their nursery school picture, Nee Nee is the young lady in the white dress and Bri is the dashing young man to her right.

As Owen’s favorite G Uncle, I have to say I do know a thing or two about taking pictures. Actually, I know more about BEING in them but that’s a different story!
These pictures are absolutely beautiful and captures what the All American Italian-Irish family looks like…with Owen showing early signs of a modeling career ahead of him!
To the best of my knowledge, since I was there…Snotnose (Nicole) is the beautiful young lady in the white dress (third from the right) while Casper (Brian) is the handsome lad on her right.
Ciao!
G Uncle

This slide show makes me cry - they look so happy, so in touch with each other. As for the picture - Brian and Nicole are the two in the center of the group.

What beautiful pictures of a lovely family. And it just shows that you really don’t have to have a “special occasion” to get great, memorable shots. Just wonderful. And on the slideshow, as the lyrics went “Mama I’m flyin’…” there’s a shot of the little guy being held high up in the air by his Mommy. Coincidence?

G Aunt Elena here…
Also known as Cookie Monster….
These photos of Owen, Nicole and Brian are absolutely beautiful.
…then again, how can they not be when Owen is the cutest little baby in the whole wide world! (Mom & Dad aren’t too bad, either!)
In the class picture, my niece Nicole is the beautiful girl in the white dresss (3rd from the right) and Brian is the little cutie patootie on her right…trying to work up enough nerve to propose to her. Why it took 25 years we will never know!

WOW! All these comments are GREAT! But just for clarity sake, Nicole and Brian will get ONE free 8×10, thanks to Mary, who was the FIRST to leave a comment with the correct answer to the question.
I just love that kindergarten photo!

One smile from my Grand Son Owie can make me feel happy all day. After looking at these beautiful pictures of this happy family, I’m good for a lifetime.
PS A good photographer can hide a lot of BLUBBER ! ! !

What a fun idea that you will treasure for years to come! You guys look great and Owen is such a cutie! He’s getting quite a personality already! Owen will really enjoy looking at this as he gets older to see the love his parents have for him and each other! The house looks fantastic!
