Nick and Marlene Coury, our family and photography

Welcome to my Blog!

We are coming up on our one year anniversary of our move to Nashville. I can't believe it has gone by so quickly. We have plugged into a great new church home at The Fellowship At Two Rivers and haved made lots of new friends.

Our family is growing with the addition of our second grandchild, Mateo Isaiah in San Diego, CA. What a sweetie he is!

Glad you stopped by. My wife Marlene and I have been married for over 33 years and we love spending time together! We enjoy riding motorcycles, eating ice cream and hanging with our family every chance we get.

Photography is more than just a job, it is a passion. We are able to be selective about the jobs we do and where they take us. As a result, we get to have fun with our clients and that makes for great images.

Our blog is here to let you see some of who we are and what we do. If you have any questions just click the contact form here and we'll get to you as soon as we can.

Imaging USA – New Orleans

Friday, January 13, 2012

The last time I was in New Orleans was right before the city was ravaged by the flood in 2005. Where does the time go to? It sure doesn’t seem like that was 7 years ago, but it was. I remember because this was one of the rare road trips I was able to take my beautiful wife along with me. She came along because I was receiving my Cr. Photog degree from the PPA, and it was a very special occasion. It wouldn’t have had near the significance if she wasn’t there to share the festivities with me!

We became huge fans of Cafe Du Monde for their “breakfast of champions” well probably not, but very delicious cafe au lait and beignet. (Just think calories and sugar, you’ll understand) One morning it was dreary and overcast, but that didn’t stop us. While we were there I decided to take a quick little photo using the available light I had and am really glad I did. This image has hung in our kitchen by our “coffee station” since we got back. It has moved from Ohio, to our current house and will still be displayed when we move into our new place in March. Here’s proof that the best camera is the one you have with you. In this case a Fuji Fine Pix that gave me about a 2 MG file that we printed to about a 10″x20″ print, custom mat and framed and it looks fantastic!

This road trip we will miss our good friend and brother Terry Wyatt. He has been faithfully standing by his mama that has been on a respirator for the last few days. This story would take too long to tell in a way that would give Terry props for all he has done as a son and caregiver for his mom for decades. I would like to ask you to join me in praying for them, that they will be strengthened and encouraged and find their peace and hope in Christ alone during this time. We’ll miss having you with us Terry, but will be praying for you without ceasing.

God’s Most Beautiful Light!

Friday, December 30, 2011

There is nothing like window light! A great softbox is a good start, but even the best ones are no match to His light. Seriously, does that surprise you? It doesn’t surprise me that mans best attempts fall incredibly short of whatever God decides to do. We know that “God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son” for each of us. That is an unbelievable and incomprehensible love!

I know that as I think about my son or my grandson’s that there is no way I would consider doing that. Proving once again that I would be a terrible god! I think most everyone will admit to the fact that they wouldn’t be a very good god, I guess what I don’t understand is why they can’t admit the need for a Savior. We know that all our righteousness is as filthy rags before a holy God, that is easy to understand. But as humans we don’t like to admit that we need help, or we just aren’t good enough to do it on our own.

So my prayer for you this holiday season and start of a new year is that you would admit that you just can’t do it yourself. You would ask the Almighty God of the universe to come into your heart and live there. Start your year off right by a real new beginning, new life in Christ! Not merely a “resolution,” or simply trying to break a bad (and often self destructive) habit. But a dying to yourself and experiencing total new life in Christ! If you have any questions on how to do this, I would be honored to talk with you about it. I did this in 1974 and it has totally changed the course of my life, but more importantly my eternity!

Fun with Uncle Aaron

Monday, December 26, 2011

Uncle Aaron was playing with Mateo and was able to experience him throwing with his left hand. This may not seem like a big deal to most, but when your uncle is left handed it’s a pretty cool thing. When this little guy smiles, he lights up the room. We are having way too much fun and enjoying every minute of it. (With the possible exception of the terrible spanking I am taking right now playing Phase 10 with the kids)
