Being a photographer, I am always following my son around and taking his picture. He started to get jealous when I would take other peoples photos. I am serious, he would photo bomb them and end up in a few of their photos. HAHA, he loves to be the center of attention. So for Easter, we took him out for a few quick photos and he totally ate it up. He got to be the star and model his new hat and tie for mommy and I.
Here are a few from our fun Easter photo session. Thanks for looking.
Throughout the next 12 months you are going to see a lot of this little guy on our site because we are doing a year long project with The Ackermann family. Trust me, you will not get bored seeing photos of them. This was our second mini session with them and their little guy just keeps getting cuter and cuter ever time we see him.
For this session we went and visited them at their home so mom and baby could be more relaxed and we could go on the baby’s schedule. It worked out perfect! There are so many great little spots in their house to get perfect, studio like photos. I had a blast transforming their house into my office for a few hours. Not only did we have fun with the little guy, but we also got pictures of the family pets. Mom and dad even get a chance to step in front of the camera.
Here are a few from our session. I can’t believe this little guy was born early at 36 weeks. So alert and such a little model for being so young
Check back later for another fun slideshow.
So peaceful when he is sleeping.
Seriously, why did you wake me up to go to work? I still have about 25 more years until I have to wear this tie and get to the office.
O wow, being a little model is hard work.
Never mind, it is pretty easy after all. I just sit here and look cute and people love me.
Give me 5 minutes guys. Just 5 minutes and I bet I could be sleeping. So soft!
O, hey there!
Such a happy family.

Another fun session with a wonderful little baby boy.
A sneak peak from our newborn session from tonight. In case you did not see our first shoot with Jill and Jeff’s new baby; we are doing a year long project for a new service we offer at Photos by Nick and N Bombich Studios. It is going to be a lot of fun as you will see in round two of the year long project. We are doing multiple sessions with Jill, Jeff and Baby all year long. At the conclusion of the project we will fuse together video and photos that we captured throughout the entire year. If you are interested in doing something like this for your family, email us for details.
For now, here is one of our favorites from our fun session at Jill and Jeff’s house. Check back soon for a mini slideshow and more photos.

[...] More here: It’s a Boy! Welcome Baby Ackermann [...]
A past client of mine and a very,very, very, good friend of ours had her baby March, 27, 2012. It was almost a year ago I shot their wedding and now I get to take more photos of them with the arrival of the new addition to the Ackermann family. Words cannot explain just how beautiful this baby is, and yes boys can be beautiful
I am really excited to spend the next year making a photo/video fusion of the 1st year of the new little guys life. A new service that we offer for all current and new clients, more detail to come in another post.
I walked into the hospital room and instantly felt the beauty and love this little guy brought into the room. I quickly did my thing and got the video and photos I needed for our year long journey and left the new mom and dad to enjoy the moment with their son.
Here is a sneak peak of one of my favorites from the mini hospital shoot we did. More to come later
Have you ever heard the song Eyes from Kaskade? This song instantly came to mind as I took this photo. If you have not heard the song before look it up, it is really good. Here are some of the lyrics.
You and I
Could paint the sky together
As the world goes by
We’ll go on forever
Look into my eyes
Eyes are the windows to the soul
Look into my eyes
Eyes are the window
There is no surprise
Eyes, because love is plain to see
Look into my eyes
I am pretty sure this is how mom and dad feel right about now looking into their beautiful little baby boy’s eyes. I know that exact feeling as it happened to my wife and I, two years ago when our son was born.
Congratulations Jeff and Jill! I am so glad that the four of us and now six of us have become such good friends. Many, many years of fun times are ahead. Enjoy every second of it.

Every year, Photos by Nick gives away a free photo packages and we even gave away a free wedding package in the past. Well, its that time of year again! We are ready to do it again, but with a twist. In the past you had to be a client of ours to be entered in the contest. Since we had an overwhelming response from non customers this past year, we wanted to open it up to everyone.
Here are the rules and how you can apply for free photos.
The free photos for 5 years contest is valid for children, infants, families and portraits only. We may run a wedding contest again, but we will see if we have the time to give away a free wedding later on.So stay tuned.
What you get if you win.
1. 2 free sessions per calendar year. The sessions will be a location of your choice within an hour drive from Pittsburgh. If you want your session to be in another state, you just need to pay to get us there and we will be glad to do it.
2. The session will be up to an hour of shooting with 15-20 minutes for outfit changes.
3. Family sessions are for immediate family only, but extended family is welcome to join for a fee.
4. You get 1 free 11×14 print
5. You can purchase other prints on your online gallery.
6. A 2-4 minute slide show from our session.
7. An hour of fun 2 times a year for 5 years.
I have one winner from past years that decided to do photos of her kids 4 times a year. So she gets 2 for free and pays for 2. What she wants is a story book after the 5 years are up that will show their families life and how they grew. I thought that was a really neat idea and we are really enjoying doing it. We are 4 years in with 1 more year to go and we will show you all the resultsJust a thought of what you can do with your session.

Photos by Nick is a family owned and operated establishment. Over the years, we have offered photography for weddings and people and some graphics and web services. Recently we have had requests for other services that we can do, but was not clear on our site if we offered them or not.
Starting in April 2012, we will now offer many different services under our parent name, N Bombich Studios. Photos by Nick is still going to operate as is, providing photography services for weddings and portraits. All other services will fall under N Bombich Studios; until that site is completed, you can submit your requests through Photos by Nick at nick@photosbynick.com or by calling 412.760.7624
We have a strong background in graphic design, photography and video and have been providing these services for a while. N Bombich Studios can be a complete solution for most clients and events. Due to high demand, we can only take a limited number of jobs at any given time to ensure top priority and quality of each job for our clients. We look forward to sharing these new services with everyone and look forward to working with you all soon.
We plan on having the new site up soon, but until then; some of the new services we will be offering are the following:
Video - Wedding and Other Videos *
Web – Design and Support
Design Services – Brand and Identity Services
* Note… The wedding videos we provide are different than your traditional style wedding video. Since we have a strong and deep background shooting weddings, we will treat your wedding video just like we shoot weddings for photos. With creativity, flare, elegance and style. Most wedding videos are boring; our will be fun, interesting and captured in a way that is not your traditional wedding video.

Test Comment
Thanks for commenting Jennie – What I mean by “We Are Different” is that this will not be your old boring camera on a tripod in 1 spot video. We have shot over 200+ weddings and know where to be and when. So with that anticipation, I will be in different spots through out the day before the wedding while you are getting ready, the ceremony, the portrait and fun sessions after the ceremony and then at the reception. With the way technology has evolved, we shoot both photos and videos with DSLR’s. This gives us greater flexibility, lighter camera systems to work with and the ability to shoot in the most extreme conditions.
Plus, instead of having a 3 hour long video of dull moments, full ceremony with down time and lag moments; we piece together the moments of your day, the excitement and the story in a video that is a 4-8 minute movie trailer style and then a 30-60 minute movie of your day. We will overlay music and voice (if desired) and provide both DVD and digital files. Our videos will match our photography style, so if you check out our photo work, you can see what style to expect in your video.
Our videos are not for the traditional bride, they are for the bride who wants something just a bit different and fun.
Tammy… Great to hear from you and thank you for the compliments. I loved your sisters wedding. We had such a good time. We have not established our full pricing guides for the videos yet, but expect most people will be paying around $1200-$1600 for an awesome video package. Check back soon for more details.
Nick… If your wedding videos are anything like your photo work, then I am sure they are awesome. I loved the photos you did at my sisters wedding. How much will your wedding videos be?
Nick when you say your videos are different, how do you mean?

I LOVE THIS PHOTOS NICCOLINA!
Hey jake. Thanks for the comment. He is my life and I am very proud.
As for putting family and personal photos on your site. I say just do it and don’t hide it. I know a lot of photographers will post pictures of their kids and friends but won’t ever say it is their kids or friends because they want to look busy.
Why lie? If a client finds out that’s your kid and you played it off as a client, what will they think then?
So yes this is my son and I will post photos of him. He is one of my biggest clients and his mom is the most demanding client. Everything must be perfect
haha kidding.
I say post away with your family photos and say its family. But also treat them like a client and post the same way you do as a client session.
What an awesome set Nick. You must be a proud dad. I don’t have the courage to put my own family on my site. Thumbs up to you.
What a ham, sooocute
OMG, too cute! He is a natural!
