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.

I'm Nicole

Hey there!

"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."


- Gianna of La Loretta 


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."

- Madison of Kato Custom Homes

"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."


- Kaylee of Bouquet Bleu

Thank you, Nicole, for helping me step into my brand with confidence and grace!

Client Love Notes

Mom of three and wife to a hobby-obsessed husband. It’s chaotic, beautiful, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Life Outside the Camera

Soy latte, always. Bonus points if I can drink it in peace.


Go-To Coffee Order

I used to be a therapist, so making people feel comfortable is still part of the job—just with better lighting.



What I Did Before Photography

Fun facts!

Early morning workouts. The gym or a run outside set the tone for my day.

My Favorite Way to Reset

Italy. Hands down. No questions asked.



Where I’d Book a Flight Tomorrow

Nancy Meyers films. For the homes, the music, and the woman-in-transition energy.


I Can’t Stop Watching…

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.

Because the right brand photos don’t just look good—they grow your business.

My Story

You want it to thrive—not just for the sake of success, but so you can create a life with more flexibility, freedom, and presence with the people you love most.

Because I get it. Your business is personal. It’s like another baby you’re growing with intention and grit. 

That’s where I come in. I’m here to help your brand visuals catch up to the next version of you—so you can show up with clarity, magnetism, and confidence. Because when your photos finally reflect who you are and where you're headed, everything starts to grow in the right direction.

This is more than a photoshoot. It’s the fuel for your next chapter.
