I have never seen a more beautiful portrait of myself, or my family. It captured us in such an intimate and tender moment; truly as I see us in my heart. The portrait of our son embraces every memory and idea we have of who he really is. These are by far our most treasured works of art.

It’s more than technical expertise that makes Carla unique. It's the "vision in her soul" that is behind the extraordinary images she creates. This is why every photograph Carla takes is not just a photograph, it is truly art."

What a fun process! From beginning to end our experience with Nelms Photographic Artistry was positive. The photo session was enjoyable…seeing the previews was so exciting, and the final product was even more beautiful than we had imagined.

Thank you so much for our beautiful portraits! I am sorry that it has taken me so long to send you a note to say “thanks”. We just love them! You did an amazing job with the pictures. They are my favorite pieces of art in our house. The pictures of [my child] are like videotapes inside a frame because the lighting is perfect, and it really captures [my child] in motion. The portraits are truly fine capsules form that day that we will cherish. [My child] had a great time also. [My child] liked the experience so well that [my child] was asking to come back to play with Miss Carla. Thanks again! We hope to come back again in the future to add to our collection.

I can not express enough how thrilled we are with the belly shots you took of me and my daughters. They truly are priceless! Not only did you capture each of their personalities, but the time and patience you had with our older daughter who has special needs sets you apart from the rest. The pictures are gorgeous and every time I look at them (which is every day) I think about not only how blessed I am, but how happy I am that I got the pictures taken. Yet again, you captured a special time in our lives with a beautiful collection for us to cherish forever!

Taking pictures of teenagers can be so tricky because they typically don't want to participate in family activities anymore. Carla does a great job at getting teenagers to let go of their sullen self consciousness and take a really great photo. She has a great sense of humor and my teenagers enjoy the photo session. Her pictures evoke their natural beauty and personality.

The composite that Carla created for me is an heirloom to be treasured forever. I love the variety of expressions that a composite depicts. Also, the personal attention that we received throughout our experience was wonderful.

We are so happy with our pictures. The simplicity of the white on white lets us focus on the baby’s expression… Carla is so patient and kind to the children it’s like she is another Mom to them.

I was not prepared for the rush of emotions I felt when I saw how beautifully we all photographed. I obviously had a difficult time deciding which portraits to select, but Carla was an excellent advisor. I will cherish these black and white photographs for the rest of my life.
