This year, we are offering a Christmas Mini Session for $50, this also comes with a $30 print credit!!!

These mini sessions will take place Nov 13th at the old Friendship Baptist Church on 70 from 12-? but you must call to reserve your spot. Also, part of proceeds from these mini sessions go to help the FRIENDSHIP Kenya Mission Trip so this is for a really good cause to send our friends to minister to young children.Session will last about 15-30 mins depending on childs cooperation and age, number of children, etc. No extra charge for more than one child or families.

The Hay Reception

2010-10-17T20:33:00.000-07:00

They Hays invited me to photograph their wedding reception that was held for family and friends in September. It was held in a beautiful park right outside Murfreesboro and despite the mishaps the bride and groom had earlier that day (losing the brides ring) everything was beautiful and turned out great. Janie is such a sweet girl and I was glad to get to know her! We got some great shots of the beautiful couple and I hope you all enjoy them!

Dunn Wedding Preview

2010-10-17T13:04:00.000-07:00

On Oct 10th 2010 I had the great pleasure of photographing the Dunn Wedding for Shonda and Billy. These 2 are so fun and had the most laid back, relaxed, organized wedding I have ever been to. You can totally tell Shonda was on top of her game and planned in advance. Anyway, they were married at Firefly Acres in Sparta which is beautiful and be sure to check out their website..fireflyacres.com. Shonda arrived the ceremony in a 1960 Thunderbird driven by her father (so sweet) and the decorations and food was amazing. I hope these two have a wonderful life together, they are so much fun and really know how to have a good time together. Congratulations Shonda & Billy DUNN

NEW BLOG-SITE

2010-10-17T10:07:00.001-07:00

Hello and welcome to the new ChaNikki Imagery BlogSite. I have been so busy this year and I am so thankful for that and my clients as well. But, as you may have noticed, i have very little free time to update a facebook fan page, blog, and website. So I have decided to merge the website and blog to make this my BLOGSITE! It is much easier to navigate now and much easier for me to update. Hope you all enjoy and stay tuned or follow this blog for special upcoming events, mini-sessions, and promotions!!

2010-04-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

Shea already had some great senior pictures made but wanted a few more on her farm and with her truck, well we ended up at a junk yard, but i think they turned out great and really bring out her personality, she is a country girl at heart, loves outdoors and MUD, (should have worn my boots also) cow fields and flip flops do not mix. LOL anyway we got some great shots and really brought out who she is in them. Hope you like them SHEA!!

They are all so adorable, and did so well. Little Alex is so cute, he was the life of the party all day....LOVE THOSE EYES!

hmmm looks like they are sharing a secret

This one makes me giggle, Alex couldn't open his eyes cause it was too bright LOL he's so cute!....They all are!

2009-11-27T15:34:00.000-08:00

And here they all are!!!

Too hard to decide!

2009-11-23T22:06:00.000-08:00

Oh goodness at the fun we had despite a little bit of drizzle! They all did so wonderful things went so quickly and we were able to get some amazing shots...it will be so hard for Tanya and Erica to decide!!! If any of you have ever been to Tanya's blog http://www.lifewithlivie.blogspot.com you know that Olivia was adopted from China so i thought it would bring out a little of her Chinese Heritage to put a "Merry Christmas" message in Chinese on one of hers!! What a beautiful family!!!

Silas & Donald

2009-11-18T19:18:00.000-08:00

These boys were adorable and Silas has to be one of the smartest kids I have ever met! He has such a great personality and is too funny...he kept wanting to unwrap one of my presents then i went on to tell him how there was nothing in them....i think he thought bad of me for wrapping empty boxes as a tease LOL he is so cute and funny. And little Donald was loving the tree, and don't worry mom and auntie, this will all pass and then they will actually look at the camera, haha mine doesn't either and they're same age. Anyway we got some great shots regardless and I hope to see them again soon!

I love these!!!!!

In case some of you don't know where the name ChaNikki comes from my name is chandi and my sisters name is nikki and when our mother starts to say onne of our names it always comes out "cha....nikki" or "na...chandi" crazy i know but hey that's what we decided to call our selves anyway. This beautiful young girl is the second half of chaNIKKI, this is my little sister and she is the most beautiful person i know inside and out, she has made me so proud and somehow always knows the right choices to make in life. ANYway before i have a break down, she has been home schooled the last two years and will graduate this summer and we decided to do a little something different for her senior pics and do some in the fall. Hope you like em sis Love you with all my heart!

We had to do something a little HOT with that outfit and those shoes she had and I love how you can see his reflection in her glasses (Josh liked the pose as well LOL).. well i could go on and on so go ahead and take a look!Look at their lips I love em!! THeir kid is gonna have some beautiful lips LOL

Tobitt Family

2009-10-27T21:36:00.000-07:00

So this is the third time i have had the pleasure of doing portraits for the Tobitt girls, but this time we made it a family session and they all did great. I've come to know these little cuties pretty well, Mallory is the one who loves attention and loves to look at the camera. Carly is more reserved and quieter and is always busy checking things out. However, they both did love Queeny, which is my grandparents dog who followed us the whole day of the shoot, which was good when she wasn'tsome great shots of them!!! in the pictures, because she got the girls to laugh and giggle. They have changed so much since our first shoot and are growing into beautiful little girls and we got some great shots! I have so many favorites!!!

Haley & Jordan E-session

2009-10-26T17:12:00.000-07:00

So considering all the weird random things that happened to us that day (first of all there was a tree in the road where we wanted to go so they wouldn't let us through, second, there was a lady stuck in the woods after she decided to hike up a hill, and there was the rain) we got some great shots! Congratulations you two and I can't wait to do your wedding in April!!! Hope you like em!

SMASH THE CAKE SESSION

2009-09-07T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hayden turned one August 28th and we did these instead of a traditional 1 year shoot. I think they turned out adorable but hello look at what i was working with! He absolutely loved the cake by the way i had it on the walls of the studio! LOL

Mini smash the cake sessions are $50 and includes:
16 wallets and 20 minute session. Be sure to bring either a white or black twin sheet (available at wal-mart for only $3) and your own cake and balloons if you choose:)

She Can't Stand IT LOL

2009-09-07T19:08:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I thought I was the most inpatient person in the world, but I think Kristin has me beat! LOL I love you girl.( she's got to have her sneak peak) But I am so excited to post these because they are my first ever studio shots and i think i did really well. I've been working on practicing with some creative lighting techniques, insteadof just plain studio lighting that gives some pictures more of an intimate feel, for example a lot of the belly shots we done with just a little bit of light shining on her belly instead of all light and no shadows, i personally think it just gives the portraits a whole different feel, ANYWAY, i'm rambling... I hope you all like them and of course you too Kristin!!!

Kristin's Maternity Sneak Peak part 1

2009-08-27T20:28:00.000-07:00

Okay so today we decided to take a FEW (lol) outdoor maternity shots of my friend Kristin, well who would have guessed the things we got into today, everyday is an adventure with Kristin and Melody LOL. I had to jump in the creek with all my clothes on to retreive a croc...no not a crocodile...a flip flop LOL . but hey it was hot so i'm not complaining. We still have a studio session to do with Kristin and her husband coming up and I"ll post some from that as well. I'm only posting 5 because one of Kristin's shower presents is I'm making her a dvd slideshow with music to play at her shower so I want it to be a surprise till then. (she's already trying to bribe me LOL) But i do have the full session up on my online proofing gallery, so if your interested just text or email me and i will give you the password but you have to PROMISE NOT TO GIVE HER THE PASSWORD LOL!

Smith Wedding Sneak Peak

2009-08-25T17:30:00.001-07:00

So let me just start off by saying that this was one of the funnest shoots we have ever done. The whole family truly helped every way they could to ensure that we made the most of the day and got the best pictures we could. The brides mother is one of the sweetest ladies ever and did such a wonderful job making this a special day for her daughter and son-in-law. The whole family was so cooperative and did any kind of crazy stuff we asked them too. LOL. And who would have guessed we would have had them jumping the fence to get into the cow field for these beautiful shots? LOL I love them and hope they are as proud of them as I am. THEY DID WONDERFUL!

This one made me cry the whole time i was editing it. I want one framed for myself LOL

I airbrushed Stephanie's skin in this one. Just take a look at the before and after. Airbrushing gives skin such a flawless even look.

Now, when I went to the Johnson's BEAUTIFUL home the night before, I noticed Dad a.k.a. Dewayne, was a hunter and had a huge collection of guns so I thought this would be a cute shot to have a little fun with. What a southern gentleman though, he made me double check with the groom before we done it, but Brian was a good sport and I think they both had fun with it.

2009-08-10T15:47:00.000-07:00

First of all let me say that I am so excited that we got to do a wedding and hope there are many more to come! We got some great shots, the bride was smokin hot (maybe why the fire department was always around LOL) and I know they are gonna love em! We had a blast!!!

Birth Announcement

2009-07-13T07:53:00.001-07:00

Here is another example of a birth announcement i made for Morgayne, i can offer these pretty cheap if you choose to have them printed on photo paper instead of glossy card paper. However if you opt for the photo paper, they do not come with envelopes. I'm working on pricing now, so i hope to have it up within a few days.

2009-07-13T07:34:00.001-07:00

Her daddy said she needed horns and a tail LOL

Not sure if this is a mad face, a smile, or before she used the bathroom but I love it LOL.(i'll just say she was smiling at me)

I still have a few more to edit as soon as I'm finished I'll be sure to post them. And a HUGE THANKS to Keith and Wendy for letting me come to their home and photograph their little beauty-she was terrific!

All I can say is WOW! I love these!

2009-07-07T14:08:00.000-07:00

These are my favorites! They look like a family off of an ad for abercrombie or Hollister:) LOL

i airbrushed the skin in most of the closeups to give them a flawless look.
