portraits & editorials
Your story, your legacy.
Life is not perfect, it can be messy, it can be emotional - but the beauty is we get to experience life in it is array of emotion and chaos. Photos that feel like home.
I am not here to capture picture perfect smiling families. No, I want to capture the real and the raw that is happening in your life in this present moment.
My approach to portraits is about helping to bring out the magic in the chaos.
My closets family and friends all know me as the observer, which is why I believe I am so drawn to the more documentary style of photography. The more posed traditional photos, can seem a little sterile to me and if that is what you like, that is great! I am looking to work with people who appreciate candid photography.
Documentary photography is about capturing your story. It's about preserving your legacy.
Your story,
your legacy.
“Nichole doesn't just take pictures she makes it a whole experience that is fun and leaves you feeling so good. She captures moments that are genuine and you can look back on those pictures and smile.” -Amanda Treantafeles
“I love how every experience with Nichole has been different but so special. She captures the most authentic photos that I have ever experienced and you are just free to be you during your time. My kid has been a brat and moody a lot, but she still gets wonderful shots that I will cherish forever!” - Maggie Issacson
inquiry
Giving me a little backstory about your story as a couple, as a family, as a human in general just gives me a an idea of WHO you are and if our values align.
retainer + date
After booking, you’ll fill out a questionnaire that helps me plan the session. After that we’ll hop on a call or meet up for a coffee so we can discuss making the most of your session. Think: how can we elevate your session and include the season of life you’re in. It doesn’t have to be fancy, it can be as simple as sitting around your kitchen table letting your kids bake cookies or get messy with spaghetti!
the experience
I know just how nerving it can be leading up to a session, but instilling your trust in me helps a lot. We will play your favorite music, we will will have already found a location that speaks to you, and with my guidance it’s my goal to allow your family to just be themselves.
Our Process
Limited bookings per month - I try to pour as much of my heart, soul and energy into making your session special. Being a mother as well, I try to limit how many sessions I take per month. During this season of my life I take a handful of sessions per month.
our availability
I’m a very transparent person, and I think being upfront about the investment is super important. Yes, my sessions are an investment, but for a reason. I understand you can get photos done “cheaper” but again, this is more than just taking pretty photos. This session is more than that, I’m looking to create art and a true relationship with every family I meet.

our approach
Timeless + Organic + Nostalgic
A lot of my work is inspired by film and vibrant saturated colors while keeping things true to color. Lighting and location affects a lot of imagery, so I try to keep consistent with how the lighting was during the given day and location. We are also team grain, so expect some grain in your gallery.
