I absolutely loved Nicole!! She was able to book me in for my engagement pictures so soon with her busy schedule. This was my first time ever having a photoshoot and I was so nervous but she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Before our shoot I sent her some inspiration photos and she delivered 100% I’m so in love with our engagement pictures!!

I would recommend Nicole for her ability to make clients feel at ease, energetic vibe, and ability to foster candid photos as a passionately creative professional.
My fiance and I rarely take couple photos… but after 10+ years committed and engaged last year, we decided to go ahead with an engagement photoshoot.
Nicole was highly receptive to our photo ideas. She was able to capture our genuine smiles/joy, while verbalizing posing tips upon request. I am quite ecstatic to utilize her work on our Save the Dates and wedding website! Certainly consider Nicole for your photography vision & needs! - Kelly

Nicole was just amazing and made a last minute Birthday celebration a huge success. My friend brought her mom to San Diego to celebrate her 61st birthday and Nicole was able to commit to a family portrait with less than a day notice! We are so grateful!!!

Nicole was an amazing photographer! I was nervous about taking photos but she was very personable and fun and soon my nerves were gone completely. She was also great at providing help with how to pose and took a large variety of photos. She even brought her own props! In addition to the photos being beautiful, she was extremely quick in her turn around time and I received them after only a few days. I could not recommend her more!
Details: Graduation portrait • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

We had Nicole for our recent baby shower. She listened and captured all our requests without any hesitation. Her lovely personality added to the mood of the event making it such a fun experience for not only my husband and I but the entire family. We will definitely cherish these beautifully captured moments forever and look forward to having her for future celebrations. Nicole truly is an artist and has natural flair of capturing moments so beautifully through our camera lens.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer fixed photo packages, but am open to negotiation depending on the visions and financial situations of my clients.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Collaboration is a priority for me. We'll get to know each other, talk about your needs and what you're envisioning. Then we'll talk about the kind of environment that makes you the most confident, so that nerves begin to dissipate and it if feels like we're shooting in your backyard.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a freelance photojournalist with my MBA, my experiences from shooting in 10 different countries supplement my knowledge of the business world. I've also spent the last year working as an educator for a local digital media nonprofit, bringing DSLR cameras into low income schools and facilitating photography projects about social justice.
