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.
"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. She is a natural behind the camera and makes her clients feel at ease during shoots. I cannot wait to start using my new branding photos to elevate my floral game."
Nicole truly cares about what she does
"I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for a professional branding shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we started, she made me feel at ease in front of the camera—something that doesn’t come naturally to me. 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."

"If you’re on the fence about investing in branding photography, I can’t recommend Nicole enough. 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!
Mom of three and wife to a hobby-obsessed husband. It’s chaotic, beautiful, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Soy latte, always. Bonus points if I can drink it in peace.
I used to be a therapist, so making people feel comfortable is still part of the job—just with better lighting.
Early morning workouts. The gym or a run outside set the tone for my day.
Italy. Hands down. No questions asked.
Nancy Meyers films. For the homes, the music, and the woman-in-transition energy.
I started my photography career documenting families—after stepping away from a decade-long career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I craved more time with my own kids, picked up a camera, and began capturing the kinds of everyday moments I didn’t want to miss.
Along the way, I met so many incredible women—fellow moms—who were also building something of their own. They’d ask me, “Can you do my headshots? Do you ever photograph branding sessions?” What started as a few small requests turned into a deeper calling.

This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a brand shift. The day itself is intentional, collaborative, and designed to feel like a true reflection of who you are and where you’re going. You’ll walk away with visuals that are ready to attract the dream clients (and the income) you’re ready for.
I’ll guide you through every detail—locations, styling, props, and the kind of content that will actually work for your brand. You’ll get a personalized prep guide so you know exactly what to expect, feel fully supported, and show up with confidence on shoot day.
Let’s start with a conversation. We’ll talk about where you’re headed, what you need, and how brand photography can support your next chapter. No pressure—just clarity.
