The Scoop on Nicole Ryan Photography

  The Scoop on Nicole Ryan Photography

Nicole Ryan Photography is not your average choose-a-backdrop, sit down, tilt-your-head, and smile-for-the-birdie experience. That’s because Nicole Ryan Pitts is not a rigid-thinking, stuff-it-in-a-standardized-box, my-way-or-the-highway kind of photographer. What she is, is a free-flowing, live-in-the-moment, and let-nature-take-its-course kind of photographer. You could say that she’s capturing moments of life as it happens. There are no forced smiles, no posing, and no need for stiff looks from parents. There will be lots of play time, lots of fun, and plenty of natural smiles and giggles. We aim to end a session with your child not wanting to go home because they’re enjoying their time so much – it’s not a chore, it’s an adventure.

We believe that portraits should not be an unpleasant or tedious process, especially for children; and while bribing has been known to happen, in general the best portraits are captured when a child is comfortable in their surroundings and having good time. Children naturally want to be happy and have fun – and who doesn’t? So, we provide the necessary nudge and children will almost always pop out of their shells and show their true, brilliant colors.

Once we release that inner happiness we usually ask the parents to try and blend in with the settings. When a child has a few grown-ups soliciting a smile or pressuring for a look, the child tends to become confused and will lose focus on being happy. It really helps the session progress if Nicole can be the only one interacting with the child. This will smooth the progress of the shoot and foster the pure expressions that you see in your child everyday.

The Investment at Nicole Ryan Photography

  The Investment at Nicole Ryan Photography

Remember when life was all about running around the yard, playing hide-and-seek until it was too dark to see? How about riding your bikes with baseball cards in the spoke because it made that cool motor cycle noise; Or when instead of getting out of the rain, you ran out and splashed the biggest puddle you could find? Ah, the fond memories of childhood.

At Nicole Ryan Photography, we, like our clients, cherish those memories and want to ensure that they are something we can find from time to time in our happy little photo albums. I know, Nicole and I love to take out the photo albums and year books from time to time and reminisce about those vivid memories of our younger days.

We invite you to make an investment into your own memories. We call it an investment because they are more than just color on paper, they’re captured memories. Portraits are little time machines – they take you back. They even transcend generations and will stay with your family for generations to come.

 

Welcome to the Blog

  Welcome to the Blog

I'm Nicole Pitts and I am the artist at Nicole Ryan. Ryan is my middle name sounds much better than Pitts, right? If you slip up and call me Nicole Ryan thats fine with me! Momma calls me that all the time, except its not always because she is happy with me at the moment.

I have always been very creative, Studying logical thinking was incredibly boring to me. I wanted to daydream and make them reality. When I had children it was only natural to pick up a camera and capture every moment of their lives. It was then when I decided this was the path for me to take in life. The innocence and purity of a child is untouched and freeing from the constraint of being an adult. Not only can I do sessions and pretend to be a child again for a moment, in theory never having to grow up, but I can also capture those fleeting moments for you.

We are now in Augusta, georgia and offer childrens photography services to those in the CSRA. We do everything from Maternity to Seniors in high school. As well as the occasional wedding.
