Rosemary, Robert... and a baby on the way!

Maternity pictures are a favorite of mine. When I was pregnant with Kara, I made Nick take pictures of me - pretty much continuously. The miracle of life is so precious, and what better way to cherish the time of development than with pictures? I know some are leery of maternity pictures... but I LOVE them.

We photographed Rosemary and Robert's wedding in 2008, and were ecstatic when they contacted us with the wonderful news of their new bundle of joy. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from their maternity session.

Christmas time means Family Portraits!

Fall is one of the most fun times for a photographer. The colors are changing, there is less harsh sunlight in the middle of the day, and families begin to think about their Christmas card picture. Family Portraits are a blast! We take our families on location, to show off the changing colors, beautiful sunlight and incredible landscape fall has to offer us. With the Chelette Family, we went to California Citurs State Historic Park in Riverside, Ca.
















We still have a few openings in December, just in the knick of time for those Christmas cards. If you are interested in a family portrait session, mention this blog and save $20!

Busy, Busy, Busy, Busy...There's so much to do!

In a world of instant gratification and constant updates (twitter and facebook) 40 days of no blogging is like committing virtual suicide. Have no fear our virtual followers! Nick Corona Photography is alive and kicking - perhaps a little too hard! We have moved locations to beautiful South Corona, CA; where... wait for it... we have an incredible downstairs studio/consultation room!!

In the midst of our move, Kara got croup, which is an infection in the throat and vocal chords. Then, somewhere in there we managed to shoot a few weddings, capture several engagement sessions and spend a little time with some awesome folks for portraits.

On our trip to Tennessee we were able to take some senior pictures for Taylor and some new pictures for Billy Huddleston's CD covers/inserts, flyers and posters. It was an awesome trip, but the Tennessee humidity made us extremely thankful for California weather!

Here are a few pictures from our sessions in Tennessee that made it onto our "Favorites" list.

Kara Noelle - 1 Year Old

Even though we specialize in wedding and event photography, we love doing family pictures! In particular, I love doing infant/toddler pictures! Turning one is a BIG deal, and toddler portraits are great presents!! Our little one, Kara Corona is going to be one year old in a couple weeks!!! We can hardly believe how fast time has flown by... and how much she has grown! She is a little lady now! We took a couple (haha, yeah right!) pictures for her first birthday, so I can include one in her birthday invitations. She takes such great pictures, even when she is being a grump!! Here are a few of my favorite!

Baby Noah & March of Dimes

You may have seen our earlier post about the March of Dimes walk coming up. One of our former brides and grooms recently had a baby...baby Noah...who was very, very early. Sara is walking in the March of Dimes walk to help others who, like her family, have a premature baby. Noah is doing great, and is getting stronger and bigger everyday. Please help us support Sara, her family, and other families too! Nick Corona Photography will match every dollar donated to Sara's walk. Lets help her meet her goal!!

Here is a picture of Baby Noah taken a couple weeks ago. He is about 10 pounds. He is 4 months old.

March of Dimes & Nick Corona Photography

In 2007 Sara and Jim Steik were married. A few short months later they found out they were expecting and baby Noah was due in February of 2009. In December of 2008 Sara went into labor and gave birth to baby Noah prematurely. You can read her whole story on her March of Dimes page. Sara is getting involved and supporting other moms just like her! How is she doing it? She is walking in the March of Dimes walk in April. Nick and I would like to participate, but we have a wedding that day. Since we could not walk, we decided that we would like to match her donations. We are so incredibly thankful that Kara was born full term, and healthy. She is a miracle in our lives every day. We are inspired by Sara and Jim's story, and would like to support them in every way we can. If you are looking for a way to get involved, please donate to Sara's walk. Every dollar that is donated by April 21st will be matched by Nick Corona Photography.

You can read Sara's story here.

Baby Noah is home now, and is doing well. We are thrilled to hear how well he is progressing. Please keep Sara and Jim and their new family in your prayers and if you are looking for a way to get involved...help us support Sara in her walk!!
