School Pictures by Kurt Nielsen Photography

You probably already know that I do Senior Portraits, but did you know I also do school photos?
School Class Pictures
I can do photos for pre-schools, elementary schools, junior high schools and even smaller high schools. Instead of just one photo to choose from, I usually give a choice of four different poses similar to these:
School Picture                        Elementary School Pictures
Back to School Pictures                        School Photographer
Also, did you know that if your school has a designated photographer for their yearbook photos, you do not have to purchase photos from that photographer, you can go any where you want?  I also can do yearbook photos for the schools that do not mandate where your child has to go!
School yearbook pictures                        School Photography
For senior portraits, we can just stay in my studio,
High School Pictures                        High School Yearbook Pictures
or we can go outside, or do both.
High School Photos                        School Photo Packages
They can look more traditional,
High School Pictures                        High School Senior Pictures
or we can be very creative and unique!
School year photos
School Yearbook Pictures
School class photos

Now is the time of year when the schools are choosing who will do their school photos for next year.  Call your school and request they have Kurt Nielsen Photography for their official school or yearbook photographer!  Your child’s school can reach me at (419) 885-7153 for more information or to schedule your child’s school picture day!

Lifestyle Portraits by Toledo Baby Photographer Kurt Nielsen

Baby Photography

Meet my little friend, George.  His parents are so proud of him!  He is their first child!

Even their dog thinks George is adorable!  What’s not to love?

Family Portraits Photographer

Being a first time parent is a very difficult transition to make.  You want those newborn images, but sometimes it is just too hard to coordinate a time that is convenient to you and your spouse to go all of the way to a portrait studio to have those pictures taken.

For George’s new born portrait session, I went to his home and his parents didn’t even have to get out of bed, and neither did George!

On Location Photography

Of course, he did get out of bed when it was time to eat.

George did take a little time to show us his guitar skills!

March 2011 Update by Toledo Photographer Kurt Nielsen

Ok, now that my That’s Me! Portrait contest is over, it is time to start blogging again!

March was still slow for me as far as actual studio photography goes, but I was extremely busy with other things and the Portrait Contest.  I spent a lot of time getting the prizes and setting up everything, sending out the press releases and updating my website.  I also went to Westfield Franklin Park for the Junior League of Toledo’s Formal-ly Yours event.

I went to a birthday party,

and everyone had a great time with Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth!

I had to go to court, again!

We took Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes to the American Heart Association’s Glass City Heart Ball!

Christine, the Girl in the Glass City
Drs. Blair Grubb and Barbara Strauss

I spent some time visiting some friends at their houses.

I saw my first Purim Spiel.  It was titled Thriller Magiller.

Everyone had a blast with Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes at the Purim Carnival at Congregation B’nai Israel, and a lot of money was raised for cancer research!

I also went to Mollie’s bat Mitzvah at Temple Congregation Shomer Emunim.

What a night that was for Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes!

And of course, we had a few other photo sessions.

I even had one of my seniors come back for more senior pictures.

So, as you can see, Kurt Nielsen Photography was extremely busy in March!

>Happy Easter from Kurt Nielsen Photography

>I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy Easter!

I’m pretty sure the Easter Bunny was at my studio,

and left a basket full of eggs!
I hope he was good to you as well!

So enjoy your day and don’t eat too many eggs or candy!

>Out-takes by Toledo Portrait Photographer Kurt Nielsen Photography

>

Photography is the art of capturing memories.  When you hire a portrait photographer, you want the photo session to be memorable, not dull and boring!

At Kurt Nielsen Photography, I try to keep things entertaining and fun because that brings out the personalities of the people I am photographing, which, in turn, makes for much better portraits.

Of course, eventually, some people get tired of my jokes, tricks and funny noises,

and others even get down right mad at the thought of me taking more pictures!

Sometimes people even have complete meltdowns!

In order to ensure a great time and keep this from happening, I try to think outside of the box to make every photo session unique.

Your job is to make sure everyone in the photo session is well rested, has been fed and is in a great mood.  Also, schedule your appointment at the time of day that is when you (and everyone in the portraits) are at your best! 

Don’t be shy or afraid of the camera, just be yourselves!  Have fun and the portraits will reflect the real you!
