We’re excited to announce that 2010 is bringing a new look to the online proofing galleries of David Nicholas Photography & Design! And you can catch a “sneak peek” at www.david-nicholas.net.

We’re updating our proofing galleries to give you, our clients, the finest state-of-the-art experience while navigating and viewing our extensive collection of images online.

Additionally, your print orders will be processed quickly and efficiently, and you’ll receive your orders directly from our professional print lab shipped right to your preferred address — usually within a few days.

During early February 2010, we’ll be migrating all existing image galleries over to our new catalog of online galleries located at www.david-nicholas.net. As a convenience for current clients who’ve already created folders containing “favorite” images, we’ll keep our former proofing galleries active throughout February 2010 . However, proofs for all new 2010 events and photo sessions will only be posted in the new galleries, and any print orders you’d like fulfilled from our former proofing galleries should be placed by February 28, 2010. Thank you!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!!!

In more ways than one, it’s been looking a LOT like Christmas here in our studio offices, as we’ve been feverishly busy fulfilling orders for Christmas delivery!  And this past weekend, Mother Nature joined the program too with a pre-Christmas blizzard followed by a forecast of continued cold temperatures that promise to give us a White Christmas this year — just like the kind that re-awaken wonderful, childhood memories of this festive Holiday.

Naturally, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture a “winter portrait” of our now 30-month old black lab, Zuke, in the snow.  But understandably, all good things take time.

We here at David Nicholas Photography & Design want to take this moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!  A big heartfelt “Thank You!” goes out to all our clients for helping make 2009 an exciting year for us.  We hope everyone has enjoyed our world of image-making, as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing great images to you.  Watch this space closely — and frequently — for more exciting offerings in 2010!

Our Puppy Zuke Celebrates His 2nd Birthday!

We always receive so many questions about how our puppy Zuke is doing now that he’s officially “part of our family”. So we thought we’d share a few pictures of Zuke celebrating his 2nd birthday on June 30, 2009.   My Dad and Mom aren’t able to venture toward Doylestown much anymore, so we brought Zuke to their house for the celebration.  He always adds a bright sparkle to their eyes — and he’s the best medicine in the world!!!

First, here’s a quick look at Zuke’s birthday cake…

before he so eagerly tried to grab a taste!  My Dad still has great reflexes… otherwise, Zuke would have had a feast before we could even sing one note of “Happy Birthday”!!!

ZUKE_2009Jun30_1036

Having just saved the cake, my Dad is now holding one of Zuke’s birthday presents while Zuke begins “unwrapping” it…

With just a little bit of help from my Dad, Zuke already has a handle on his new toy…

ZUKE_2009Jun30_1052

And then it’s off to his favorite spot in my parent’s kitchen to play with his brand new toy all by himself.

That is, until somebody offered him some birthday cake.  He’s quite “motivated” by food, so it didn’t take much convincing before Zuke would (temporarily) part with his new toy!!!

ZUKE_2009Jun30_1069

All in all, Zuke has adapted quite well to life “as a pet”.  And as many of our clients know, he’s become quite a lovable Lab — always greeting clients with big wet kisses when they stop in for a photo session, or to review proofs, or to design an album.  He has succeeded in becoming such an important part of our lives so quickly, it would be unbelievably difficult to imagine life without him.  We hope God gives us the opportunity to share MANY more birthdays with him!
