🍎🍂 Okay… I’m trying something new with Kim Nicole Studio and I need y’all to tell me if I’m crazy. 😂

I’ve been looking at doing something a little different this fall — an Apple Orchard Portrait Experience at a beautiful orchard in Hendersonville.

And before I officially book it, I want to know if this is something YOU would actually want.

I'm thinking:

🍎 15-minute family portrait experience
🍎 Beautiful apple orchard setting
🍎 Picking apples, walking through the trees & playing
🍎 Blanket portraits
🍎 Complete edited digital gallery — not just 5 images
🍎 1 8×10 print
🍎 2 5×7 prints

$325

And I would only open 6 family sessions for the first one.

This wouldn't be your typical "stand here, smile, okay we're done" mini. 😂

I want it to feel like your family actually spent a little autumn afternoon together — and I'm there to document it.

But before I put money down on the orchard, I need to know…

🍎 Would you actually book this?

And I mean actually book it, not just "that sounds cute!" 😂

If this is something you would genuinely be interested in, drop an 🍎 in the comments or send me a message and tell me "I'm interested."

I really want your honest opinion because if enough families want this, I'm going to make it happen.

So…

Apple orchard pictures — YES or NO? 🍎🍂

🍎 I HAVE A LITTLE FALL IDEA…

I've been thinking about doing something a little different this October, and before I officially open it up, I'm curious…

Would you be interested in an Apple Orchard Portrait Experience? 🍎🍂

I'm looking at bringing Kim Nicole Studio to a beautiful apple orchard in Hendersonville for a very limited number of family sessions.

And no… this wouldn't be my typical mini session where you choose five images and that's it.

I want this one to feel like your family's little autumn story.

Think:

🍎 Walking through the apple trees
🍎 Picking apples
🍎 Little hands holding the apple bucket
🍎 Children being themselves
🍎 Family cuddles
🍎 A few beautiful portraits together
🍎 A little time on a blanket
🍎 And all those in-between moments that make your family your family

Here's what I'm considering:

15-minute Apple Orchard Portrait Experience — $325

✨ Your complete edited digital gallery
✨ 1 8×10 print
✨ 2 5×7 prints

No choosing five and wondering what happens to the rest.

Your beautiful finished images from our time together would all be included.

I'm looking at offering only 6 family sessions during a two-hour window at the orchard.

📍 Hendersonville, NC
🍎 October
📸 Approximately 2:30–4:30 PM

The exact Saturday is still being finalized, so I'm checking interest before I release the booking link.

So I'm curious…

🍎 Would you book this?

If this is something you'd genuinely love for your family, comment 🍎 below or send me a message and tell me "I'm interested."

If I open these sessions, I'll give everyone who responds first access to the date and booking information.

Because fall at an apple orchard only comes around once a year…

…and I think this could be pretty special. 🍂🍎

Most people saw a creek. I saw a queen.

When the light hit the water during her maternity session, I knew exactly what this image wanted to become.

The first image is what my camera captured. The second is the artwork I imagined - edited entirely by hand in Photoshop. No AI. Ever

Because sometimes a creek becomes an ocean. And sometimes an ordinary moment becomes extraordinary.

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice gave us the freedoms we cherish every day, and we are forever grateful.

To every graduate I've had the honor of knowing this year—

Some of you are family. Some are friends of my family. Some are my clients' children. But right now, that's not how I see you.

Right now, I see you.

I see the milestones you've already captured and conquered long before this diploma. The hard days you pushed through. The moments no one saw. The quiet strength it took to get here. You've already proven so much.

But here's what I want you to hear, just you:

Now is the time to go conquer the world.

Step out onto that horizon and see what's out there for you. And when you go—because you will go—I need you to know something.

It is okay to be afraid.
It is okay to be scared.
It is okay to ask for help.
It is okay to stop and take a breather.

Just remember to carry on. To fulfill what you set out to be. To finish what you set out to do.

This isn't goodbye to who you've been. It's hello to who you're becoming.

I'm so proud of you. And I'll be right here, watching you take on the world.

(Now, let me say each of your names out loud so you know this was always meant for you:)
