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.

Absolutely first-rate. Nicole took a variety of portraits, all of them truly inspired. She was inventive in choosing settings, worked quickly and efficiently, and put my husband at ease, which isn't always easy. Super-fast delivery! She was a joy to work with, and a total professional.

Nicole was wonderful to work with. She was extremely responsive in her communication throughout the entire process. She was incredibly flexible and adapted to some last minute changes we needed to make. She was also very accommodating with some special requests we made. The photos were edited and shared with us much quicker than we had expected - and the were gorgeous! Thanks Nicole - it was a pleasure!
