Nick Abadilla Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome …

I'm Nick Abadilla, and I work as a professional photographer based in San Diego, California. Here's a quick snapshot (pun intended) of my life …

I've been happily married to my lovely wife Nance for over 19 years, and together we raise our beautiful and vibrant daughter Sophie who gives us reason to smile and laugh each day. We've traveled the world as a family, and are all the better for it. Egypt, China, Japan, France, New Zealand ... hmmm, where to next?

I started my business in 2002 following 20 intense but rewarding years in the graphic design industry. With corporate life behind me, I found myself doing a lot of really deep soul searching, ultimately realizing it was time to honor my long-time passion for photography. So with my wife's blessing, I wholeheartedly embraced it as a profession and haven't regretted it for a second. Working from a cozy 1,000 square foot artist studio in downtown San Diego's Little Italy section, I specialize in distinct wedding photojournalism, custom portraiture and assignment photography. My love for the craft will be evident once you step inside.

With this blog I give you a glimpse into my life behind the camera. I hope you find the posts interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspiring from time to time. Your comments are most welcome and encouraged. And don't forget to check out my main sites at nickabadilla.com and abadillaphoto.com!

Kettner Nights Recap

Yesterday was largely dedicated to tackling the aftermath of yet another Kettner Nights open house. Hundreds of folks, friends and strangers alike, trafficked through my studio last Friday, and as much as I dig the arty social scene, the clean-up that follows is a chore. Judging from the spill stains on the floor, some of my guests have a drinking problem; they can’t seem to actually put the wine into their mouths. Anyway, it’s all good fun. Once the crowd is gone, I often end Kettner Nights the same way, by  plopping my exhausted body  onto the sofa, thankful that I have the regular opportunity to gather people together. What a great excuse to bask in the glow of friendship.

Now on to the biker pics …

Thanks to San Diego Harley-Davidson for loaning the cool threads for my mannequin!

My favorite portrait of the night.
