About
I'm a boutique Chicago and destination wedding and portrait photographer, with a passion for intimate weddings and elopements. Whether you're looking for engagement photos, anniversary photos, or wedding photos, I work to make sure you receive an enjoyable experience throughout the entire process as well as images you will cherish. Using a blend of film and digital photography, I create timeless images full of authentic, natural emotion and quiet beauty. My goal is to make you forget there was a photographer around, and have all the focus be on the love and emotion within the image. I believe in intentional simplicity and timeless over trendy. And I'm not opposed to showering my clients with sweet treats :)

Nicole did a FANTASTIC job on our engagement photos! She went above and beyond for us to make sure she captured what we wanted in our photos. We felt so comfortable with her, and she made sure everything went smoothly for us. Her turn around was also a lot quicker than others, which was appreciated! I'd definitely recommend her to others! Thanks again, Nicole!

Nicole truly went above and beyond, and it's very obvious that photography is her calling! My fiance and I hired her to do our engagement pictures and the whole experience exceeded our expectations from the start. Nicole made us feel so relaxed the entire time and the pictures turned out amazing! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks again Nicole :)

Amazing! Nicole did our engagement/wedding pictures for after our courthouse military thrown together wedding! We were hundreds of miles from home but wanted pictures of this special day and she was great! She had many options for locations based on our preference of backrounds and even had a back up if the rain didn't go away and the beach was no longer an option. Not being from Chicago or any city nearly that big, she gave directions on where to park, meet ect. She texted answers to every question and idea that I had for our session. She posted a sneak peak the day of our shoot, and I can't wait to see the rest of them! I'm sure I will be writing on here after I see them all also, because the sneak peak was amazing! After the shoot she asked if there was anything else we wanted to do before the session was over! I felt very comfortable and it seemed natural we just talked and laughed and she shot pictures! So happy with how this last minute deciding to find a photographer in Chicago worked out! I'm hoping I can talk her into flying to Nebraska for our real wedding to take pictures!

I wish I could give 10 stars! We hired Nicole for a private family photo shoot & 1st Birthday party event photography and were pleased beyond belief! Nicole is so sweet & has amazing talent! She has great communication - timely & precise. The photos were turned around in such a short time & the viewing/downloading was very user-friendly. She is worth WAY more than what she charges! :)
