Your

Visual

storyteller

I love documenting humans & finding beauty in all different seasons of life. My focus is always going to be capturing your connection & your spirit above all else AND creating a safe safe for you to be your true & unfiltered selves.

One of the biggest gifts photography has given me is that I’ve been able to witness the most beautiful moments in time that I never would have seen otherwise. Another perk of the job— getting to connect with so many amazing souls I likely would have never met. I feel truly lucky!

I'm Nicole!

“Nicole was the glue to our wedding process and her smiling face and gorgeous photos mark each step in our journey! If you can land her as your photographer, there is no easier choice.”

- MacKenzie & Jack

I have always loved creating. As a kid, I would write & illustrate stories any chance I got. And although my spelling has improved and the stories have evolved, the storyteller in me has remained.

One of my favorite things to do is flip through old photo albums. I find inspiration in how life is documented through different people’s perspectives. I always have this in the back of my head when I’m documenting other people’s memories. I want to create that feeling of future nostalgia for them. I want to give them the gift of time standing still— even if just for a moment. I want to document what their life looked like & more importantly, what their life felt like— so that in 10, 20, 50 years- they’re able to look back on those seasons & remember what was.

Document stories through the most honest lens possible. Be authentic & create work that feels true.

Provide my clients with the best possible experience- from the very first interaction. Under promise, over deliver. 

Create an environment from a place of kindness. Everyone’s story deserves to be told. 

Create images that feel like art. Be different. Don’t be afraid to experiment & try new things.

Connection is the key to breaking down barriers. Genuinely connect with clients & bring them to a place of emotional vulnerability.

Don’t be too precious or serious about the work. While I do want to take my job seriously, I believe life is most enjoyable when genuine fun is had by all.
