I'm Nicole—a photographer, designer, creative soul, and mama who's always chasing the beauty in everyday life.

We all move through different seasons, and for me, photography has always been one of those constants I return to—like an old friend I never really leave behind.

For the past few years, I stepped away from portrait work to start my family and pour into other creative passions. I dove into design, built a few businesses, explored landscape photography, and continued finding little ways to stay creative. I’ve always had this deep need to make things—to create, capture, and express what I see and feel in the world.

But becoming a mom shifted something in me. It slowed me down, changed my perspective, and reminded me how fleeting time really is. The way your baby’s laugh changes. The way your partner looks at you during the chaos of toddlerhood. The way your family just is right now—messy, beautiful, growing.

That’s what brought me back to portrait photography.
Not just to take pretty photos—but to help others freeze the moments they don’t want to forget.

Whether it’s a cozy in-home family session, a golden-hour couple’s shoot, or a solo portrait that finally captures how you feel on the inside—I want your session to feel natural, fun, and meaningful. No pressure. No stiff posing. Just connection, emotion, and the magic of your real life.

So if you’re in a season you want to hold onto—whether loud or quiet, new or nostalgic—I’d be honored to help you remember it.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

I’m a total design nerd—I could spend hours making things beautiful in InDesign, Illustrator, or Canva.

I’m obsessed with cats. Like I LOVE them so much. 

Gilmore Girls is my ultimate comfort show—if you know, you know.

I run multiple Etsy shops, and I'm always dreaming up new creative projects, it's kind of a problem.

Dance is another creative love of mine—it’s how I stay grounded and inspired and (somewhat) athletic. 

My go-to movie snack combo? Popcorn and chocolate covered raisins—don’t knock it ‘til you try it.

I have a newfound love for Tres Leches cake, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. 

I live for a good to-do list and find weird joy in color-coding and project managing all my creative ideas sometimes to the detriment of my time.

Most of all, I’m Hallie’s mama—and she’s the reason I’m more passionate than ever about capturing the magic of real life.
