Photography, for me, is personal. It’s about capturing the kind of moments I long for—the real, meaningful, everyday pieces of life that deserve to be remembered. The laughter, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments… the ones that make your story yours.

My heart is to give you images that feel honest and full of life—the kind you’ll hold onto, not just today, but for years to come.

By day, I’m an elementary reading specialist—working with kids has always been a part of who I am, and teaching felt like the most natural path. But tucked inside that path was always a creative side—one that loved photography, storytelling, and design. What started as curiosity slowly grew into something more, and eventually led me here.

As I began learning and stepping into photography, life was unfolding in other ways too. My husband and I got married in 2023, and not long after, we found out our journey to grow our family would look a little different than we expected. Walking through IVF has been both challenging and shaping—and in the middle of it, this business became something deeply meaningful to me. It became a place of joy, a creative outlet, and a way to hold onto the beauty in the middle of uncertainty.

So glad you're here!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Nicole! She took our maternity photos and later captured our first family photos after our son was born. We absolutely love the photos — they’re beautiful, natural, and truly capture such special moments in our lives. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about making sure her clients get exactly the photos they envision. We’ve received so many compliments on the pictures she took for us, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

One of the biggest goals I have for my clients and future clients is creating a stylish, functional, and beautiful collection of pieces for my client closet. This will allow those who choose to work with me to have access to unique, coordinating, and beautiful pieces to take the guesswork out of their photo shoot attire.

i absolutely love pizza. It's by far my favorite food. I love all food fit for a child. Bad day? Pizza. Something to celebrate? Pizza. Wedding day? Pizza. Any kind of food fit for a child is easily a go-to in my book. 

pizza is life...

fun facts:

let's get personal

There is something intimately special about all of those "firsts." Whether it's first words, first steps, or first birthdays—these are the kind of moments I live for. Capturing those moments that only happen one time is an privilege and gives me all of the feels. 

all the little firsts

Childhood is magical and full of excitement and wonder. As a photographer, I want to capture moments that you'll look back on and remember your child exactly as they were in the moment I photographed. No fake smiles, no awkward posing. Just them as they are. 

Your child exactly as they are right now

Nothing beats a good belly laugh—that kind that make your nose wrinkle and comes from way down deep. Those are the most authentic of laughs and one of the purest and joyful emotions. Capturing them mid-moment is an opportunity that I love to take part in preserving for my clients. 

Genuine Laughter

There is nothing more precious than love—true, genuine, unapologetically authentic love—between two individuals. Love so intoxicating and deep that you can feel it radiating between them in every image. Photographing it beautifully and uniquely is one of my greatest accomplishments.

The Love Between a Couple

You know the kind. These are the the moments we laughed about during the session that you definitely need to see evidence of. The kind of moments that can't be staged, can't be posed, and can't be recreated. The ones you can say, "you just had to be there..."
