Hey there! I’M NICOLE (she/her), but most of my emails with you will be signed off with “Nic <3.”
I’m here to photograph your love - love for your partner, love for your family and love for yourself. I understand the vulnerability it takes to be in front of the lens and because of that, every person I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing has a special place in my heart.
I would place myself somewhere between go-with-the-flow and a Type A personality. I’m a true Aries millennial, fuelled by coffee and only want children with fur. I’m a sucker for 2000s emo music or a good EDM bass stage. In my free time, you can find me paddle boarding, chasing waterfalls, or tending to my indoor jungle.

my secret to a great photograph:
Put the camera down for a minute and get to know the person in front of the lens
just BE
Just be. Be present. Be yourself.
Life isn’t about perfectly posed moments. It’s about a feeling, living, and embracing the beauty of now. The best memories happen when you let go and simply exist.
That’s why choosing the right photographer matters. You deserve someone who feels like a friend, someone who sees you as you are and documents moments that matter to you. Whether it’s the quiet in-between moments or the ones filled with laughter and chaos, they all deserve to be photographed.
The unconventional type will always have my heart; couples that choose to shake up tradition or find unique locations to create a true-to-you wedding day. Your family, friends AND vendors are not guests on your wedding day - they ARE your wedding day.
Capturing connection is something I value, and I think it’s important we have a connection of our own!
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole for a recent photoshoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was not only incredibly professional but also so much fun to work with. Her energy made the entire shoot feel effortless, and I never once felt uncomfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while still capturing stunning, high-quality images. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer—you won’t be disappointed!”

Photography is not just about the final photos you’re delivered. It’s an experience and I think that experience should be enjoyable. My goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I truly believe sharing your story brings you closer to your images and builds a connection with your photographer.
Here’s a bit about me to get our introductions started:

Dogs vs cats? How about animals over people … kidding… well kinda.
I will always gravitate towards cats. It’s the chaotic energy that does it for me. We have two babies - Luna + Zoe. I’m such an animal lover and totally understand people who treat their animals like children. They’re family! -
I’m quite the botanist & have over 22 plants. I hit 40 at one point, but we had to give a few away for our kittens!
Pride & joy: My fiddle leaf fig tree sitting around 9 feet.Most unique: My dragon fruit cactus grown from seeds.
Never again: avocado trees! Super cool, but they do not survive indoors.

Like most creatives, I have a weird obsession with Halloween and I’m known for over-the-top costumes. Candy + creativity in the cosiest season, yes please!
-
Take my money - I’m perfectly fine spending all of my money on travelling this beautiful planet. Alan and I have been together for over 10 years and every year, minus the panini press, we’ve made it a priority to go to 1-2 new places.
-
Anything outdoors - I love my nails and makeup, but don’t be fooled, bring on the rain, grass and mud.
I find peace in nature and I often find couples & families feel more relaxed surrounded by sand, tall grass and water. The best images are always ones when you feel present and at ease. -
people who wake up every day + choose to do something they love.
this is a place for…
-
Love is love. Everyone is welcome here.
PERIOT. -
Bring your uniqueness to the table - it’s what makes you incredible after all. Live to the beat of your own drum. Leave the stuffiness behind + add elements to your wedding day that feel authentic to you and your love story.
-
Our connection, your connection and the connection between your family and friends. I love moments that make us human; laughter, tears and everything in between.
My photography style is considered warm and moody + I aim to include nature in all of my sessions. I like to think of my work as a happy balance between traditional posed photographs and documentary-style coverage. I’ll guide you when I feel it’s necessary and I’ll be a fly on the wall in your personal, intimate moments. Organized is my middle name. I believe in prepping as much as possible before your wedding or session day so we can relax and have fun the day of.
Immerse yourself in galleries, read reviews and reach out! Tell me all about your ideas for our photography session, your love story and details about your family. Your memories are important to me; I want them to last a lifetime. Can you see yourself in my work? Do you like the feeling you get while scrolling through images? Do you like the colour tones + the emotion of the image?
Once you’re a client of mine, you’re forever a client. My inbox and DM’s are always open to assist with questions or for you to share your excitement about the big day - if you’re hyped, I’m hyped - let’s do it!
