About
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.

We had the absolute best experience with Nicole for our engagement shoot on the beach! She was incredible to work with — warm, professional, and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we started. The photos are stunning — truly beyond what we could have imagined. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, kind, and makes the process effortless, Nicole is your person. We’re so grateful and can’t recommend her enough!

Thank you so much, Jen! It was such a joy photographing you and Todd — you two made it so easy! I’m so glad the session felt relaxed and fun, and I’m thrilled you love how everything turned out. Your kind words and support truly mean the world to me. Wishing you both all the happiness as you head into this next chapter!

Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with. My fiance and I wanted engagement photos taken, and I was nervous at first, but Nicole was so professional, responsive, and talented and captured our amazing moments. I sent her my inspiration ahead of time; which she studied, and caught EVERY moment I wanted. I highly recommend her, we got our proofs back in a matter of days, and I couldn’t be more happy!

Our experience with Nicole was perfect! From the first time I reached out to Nicole she was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She made the entire session not only painless but actually fun. My 4 yr old son was not excited about the idea of taking pictures but she worked with him so well and captured amazing photos that I will cherish forever! We will absolutely be working with Nicole again.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

Danielle, thank you so much for this kind review! I’m so glad your session felt fun and easy — especially with your little guy. He did amazing, and it was such a joy capturing these memories for your family. I can’t wait to work with you all again!
