Introduction: I call myself an "all purpose" photographer serving Connecticut. Photography is a HUGE passion of mine! There are two things I love about photography: The first is the ability to capture a moment in time; it’s exhilarating the moment the shutter clicks. The second thing I love is interacting with you, my client. I love being able to get to know my clients and their families. I have the opportunity to quietly observe and capture moments of their love, personalities, movements, gestures and depth. It’s the greatest honor I could ever have.

Nicole did an AMAZING job with our proposal photos! She captured the moment perfectly and then took some engagement photos, which were all absolutely perfect! We loved them all and she made us both feel so comfortable. Beyond that she knew we would want the photos ASAP so she got them to us later that day! Nicole was also super kind, friendly and personable!!

Extremely am satisfied with Nicole’s work. I love my pictures so much. The quality is amazing and she gave me awesome feedback on how to pose! She’s a reasonable human being and the kind of person everyone should book for their next shoot. I asked her to reschedule multiple times and she didn’t have to. Very thankful.
