The Nichols Blog bio picture

Welcome to The Nichols' Blog!!

Hi and thanks for dropping by! We're The Nichols, a husband + wife photography team located in Austin, TX.  I'm Jennifer and that's CJ. And that cute little 4-yr. old is Maggie Mae. This is where we share our most recent work including weddings, engagements, brides, families, and our own crazy adventures!

We enjoy hiking, playing music, camping, hittin' cold swimming holes, taking road trips, and of course, taking pictures all along the way! Thanks for taking the time to get to know us. Feel free to drop us a line or leave us a comment!


And the winner is…..

Leslie!!! Thanks to everyone for participating and helping us to celebrate the launch of our new kids’ site, Little Nichols!

I had the opportunity to do a family shoot with this awesome family almost two years ago. How cute is Finley?!? I can’t wait to see how much he’s grown and to meet their new little baby boy, Miles.

We headed out to New Jersey to document Ari and Andrea’s big day! The Manor was a fabulous venue and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for their beautiful garden ceremony. I was definitely enjoying the cooler weather after this crazy heatwave we’ve had down here in Texas.

We had the pleasure of shooting Ari’s sister, Lani, and her husband Dan’s wedding, in sunny Acapulco last year, and it was so great to get a chance to catch up with them and their families. Congratulations Ari and Andrea! I hope you’re having a wonderful time traveling the world and celebrating your new life together!!

We headed out to Brooklyn to visit our friends after Ari and Andrea’s wedding. I’ll be posting pics from our NY adventures soon, so stay tuned!

New kids’ site and a contest!!

June 22, 2009 - 10:01 am Cristina Gonzalez - I love it, I am so glad you decided to do it. Specially because my son is having a baby girl in the beginning of August. Maybe you should consider having a senior site, then Alberto and I can get portraits, and that means you would have the whole Gonzalez clan in your website. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
