You’re launching something new. Stepping into your next chapter. Maybe you’ve never done a brand shoot before—but you know it’s time to show up like the business owner you’re becoming.

Still, it’s a lot to figure out—what to wear, how to pose, what kind of images you actually need. It’s easy to overthink or put it off.

That’s where I come in. I offer more than beautiful brand photos. I’m here as your guide and your hype woman—someone who’s going to cheer you on, help you feel prepared, and make the whole process feel less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with someone who really gets what you’re building. You’ll leave with photos that feel like you—and the confidence to actually use them.

Because stepping into your brand should feel exciting—not overwhelming.

Let’s Take the Guesswork Out of Showing Up

more of my story →

I’m a former Marriage and Family Therapist turned brand photographer for women stepping into new chapters and building businesses they believe in. I’ve been where you are—juggling real life while trying to show up fully. My sessions are strategic, intentional, and fully guided—because you deserve visuals that reflect who you are and where you’re going.

Wife, mom of three, and creative entrepreneur. I know what it’s like to pivot, launch something meaningful, and carry a lot at once. That’s why I built this—to support women like you.

SACRAMENTO HEADSHOT AND BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER 

Nicole

Hi! I'm

KAYLEE OF BOUQUET BLEU


She has an incredible way of translating vision into imagery, making you feel seen, and bringing your business to life through her lens. Thank you, Nicole, for helping me step into my brand with confidence and grace!"


"If you’re on the fence about investing in branding photography, I can’t recommend Nicole enough.

Madison of Kato Custom Homes

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for a professional branding shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nicole has a warm, approachable energy and by the end of the session, it felt more like hanging out with a longtime friend than a photo shoot.

She’s incredibly professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about her work. I’m thrilled with how the photos turned out, and can’t wait to use them to improve my brand identity!"

"From the moment we started, she made me feel at ease in front of the camera—something that doesn’t come naturally to me. 

Julie of Water Safe Swim

Working with Nicole to capture such a significant and meaningful piece of my life was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and it turned out to be even more powerful that I had hoped. This branding idea was deeply personal, and I knew it needed to be documented by someone who truly understood me. Nicole was that person. From our very first conversation, Nicole grasped the vision—even when I struggled to articulate it. She led me through each step of the process, from booking and planning to the branding session itself, with intentionality, attention to detail, and a contagious excitement that immediately put me at ease and gave me complete confidence in what we were creating."


"Nicole didn’t just take photos—she captured a milestone moment in my life that now lives on in images I use every day to reflect and represent this passion that defines me.

Gianna of La Loretta 

Having Nicole update my branding photos for my floral business was nothing short of amazing! She put in so much behind the scenes prep work to make sure the session seamless. I cannot wait to start using my new branding photos to elevate my floral game."

"Nicole truly cares about what she does and is a natural behind the camera and makes her clients feel at ease during shoots.
