The Card Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"You got all of my attention
And you ain't even trying
Yeah, you're my kind of different
And I never seen nothin'

Nothin' like you
Shades on spinning in a summer rain
Dancing when there ain't no music
Just the right kind of crazy, baby
Something about you"

- Dan + Shay, "Nothin' Like You"

A family that dances together....has a blast together.  This early Fall session at Camp Tilikum in Newberg was such a blast. I enjoyed the free flowing movement of the session.  The Card family spent the time of our session enjoying each other, playing and acting silly. Acting silly, in my opinion, makes for great photos, memories. =)

Thank you Card family for choosing me to photograph you! 

Go forth, dance and rock on! 

Beilstein Family-Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Portrait Photographer

"I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun's callin' my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays

Everybody's smilin', sunshine day
Everybody's laughin', sunshine day
Everybody seems so happy today
It's a sunshine day"

-'Sunshine Day', The Brady Bunch

Did I just quote 'The Brady Bunch'? Oh yeah! Yes, I did. AND while typing this blog, I am listening to the song on YouTube. 

This session made me think of that song. It was a beautiful, sunshine day with a beautiful family (and Llama....or is that an alpaca? hmmm). Although it is currently Christmas Eve Eve, I am reliving this warm, late September day and that wonderful golden light. Guys, I am so behind on blogging my sessions, I am still blogging September sessions! Although this week I may be able to catch up. 

I absolutely love this session. A wonderful mix of portrait and lifestyle/candid. Such a lovely family and lil' models and one of my favorite locations, Camp Tilikum in Newberg. Can't you just feel the love this family has for each other? Gah, and what a gorgeous couple Matt and Kelsey are!! 

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do. 

Thank you Beilstein family for choosing me! Go forth and keep rockin' on! 




The Glynn Family-Family Sessions/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"My favorite...
My favorite...
She's my favorite girl, the one I'm always thinking of, that one.
My favorite girl, the one I love."

-'My Favorite Girl'-NKOTB

I cannot explain how wonderful it feels to me to be chosen as a family's photographer repeatedly. It feels flat out amazing! It's so great to see families again and to know that I did something right. Last winter, I had the pleasure of photographing the Glynn family and I was so honored to be chosen to do their photos this year. 

The Glynn family is super fun to work with and Megan is one of my cheerleaders, she is so sweet and just edifies me. She is the type of person that just makes you feel good and she wants good for you. 

And Miss A, oh my goodness, she is just sweet as can be! Our kiddos go to the same school and when I see her at the school she just beams a giant smile and says 'Hi Ms. Nanci!' And she is smart, she knows what she wants too! She gets into the photo shoot and has her ideas of how to pose. I love it!!! It's so much fun, I love seeing her personality is the photos. 

Oh and Megan also introduced me to Woodsnap.com.  I just received my first woodsnap product last week. It's super cool. Your photos on wood. Get your photos printed, don't just keep them hidden in your computer. =D

Thank you SO much Glynn family for choosing me again to photograph you! 

Go forth and rock on!

It's a cute overload
Don't you want to take us home
Cute, cute, cute, cute overload"

Get ready to be overloaded with cuteness. This family is so adorable I can hardly handle it. Abby is a very busy momma! She works for George Fox University and  is a fitness guru who inspires many on a daily basis, including myself. You can learn more about her here: http://www.abs-in-progress.com/.  Her main man is a firefighter. And together they make a super, duper strong couple!

When we met for our session, Abby told me that their little man, Mr. C., takes time to warm up to people. He must love the camera because he just lit up right away. The photo above is one of the first shots.  This session was a dream. I love how these turned out. I hope you enjoy them too! 

Thank you Burgess family for choosing me to be your photographer. Go forth and continue to rock on! 



Fifth Birthday Session-Newberg/Portland Area Photographer

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young." -Bob Dylan

I first met Miss E when I photographed her for her 3rd birthday session at the super fun Rocket Fizz (http://www.rocketfizz.com/). At three, she was filled with a playful spirit which was so fun to capture.

I also got to photograph her for her fourth birthday session where she got to dress -up as a princess and twirl. At first she was reserved and I knew her silly, playful personality was still there but I enjoyed seeing this other side of Miss E. Some of my favorite photos from this session were where she was showing her quiet, hesitant side.

Miss E recently celebrated her fifth birthday and I am so honored to be chosen again to document this special time. This time we choose the beautiful Camp Tilikum as our location (http://camptilikum.org/). Miss E showed up ready and excited for her time in front of the camera. This girl is a natural! Her personality just shines. Fun, sweet, silly, smart and playful.  I love how the photos turned out and I love reconnecting with people that I photographed previously. Especially little ones, it's fun to see their personalities flourish.

Happy 5th Miss E!  Go fourth and rock your sixth year!!

The Riley Family Session- Newberg/Portland, Oregon Photographer

"Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years."

-Richard Bach

I first met the Riley family in October 2013 when Katie hired me to do their family photos. In my mind, we became friends instantly. We clicked. Katie is relatable, smart, gentle-spirited and so easy to talk to.  When we hang out, everything is easy. Conversations flow and I feel relaxed. 

That October day, I did not plan on meeting any new friends but I am glad that God had other plans. As a child, I often felt lonely. So through my life, no matter how full my plate seems, I try to remain open to new friendships. You never know who is needing a friend. And I am so thankful for Katie!

Riley family- 2013

Fast forward to June, 2015. I love seeing how the kiddos have grown. Not just in size but in personality, maturity and in relationship with each other. The Riley's have two lovely, sweet kiddos. AND even better, the siblings are so loving to each other. On the day of the session they were really into it. I love it when the kiddos have ideas for poses and actions. Big sister is a born leader and little bro finds happiness in whatever is going on. 

Jay and Katie are high school sweethearts. I sometimes get jealous of high school sweethearts. I did not meet my man till I was 26 (at the time I remember thinking I was getting married at an 'old' age!). Jay and Katie make a great team and I can see they have much respect for each other.   

The photos from this session are some of my favorites. I hope that you enjoy them also. 

Riley's, I KNOW you will go forth and rock it! Love you! 


Newberg, Oregon Photographer- Camp Tilikum Sunshine

Words cannot express the delight it brings me when I am chosen again to photograph a family/special time. Seriously, it makes my month.....my year. I had the pleasure of photographing the Gabler family last January and it was so great to see them again and to capture this fun family! I consider them apart of the Nanci Imagery family. 

The last time that I photographed this sweet family the youngest kiddo was a newborn and Miss C was 9 months old. Well, the day before our session, Miss C celebrated her 2nd birthday! I love seeing my families growing up. It is such a joy for me! 

We are a family like a giant tree branching out the sky
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
We need you, we are a family
-"Family" - From Dreamgirls

Until next time Gabler family!

Her favorite thing to do was to pick the flowers. She was so sweet. She picked a few for me too.

Miss A loves playing Pee-A-Boo! Playing Peek-A Boo totally brought out her personality! She also loves the camera.

Now her big brother on the other hand did not love the camera but he did love blowing Dandelions "lion's tooth'.  And I just love how he has a stick. Kids plus sticks immediately brings in the fun!
