About
I am very professional and I love what I do! I do my best to make the portrait experience fun and comfortable with whomever I am photographing. I feel my service stands out from the rest by my quality of work,my outgoing personality,and my high level of customer satisfaction.
I really enjoy meeting new people,and capturing their best moments/style through the camera. Specializing in weddings with having done over 300 weddings over the last 8 years,I absolutely love wedding photography. I love meeting new couples and taking the most amazing pictures documenting their special day! Photography is really about light and angles with a variety of lenses....capture those, and you will capture some amazing shots!

Nicole at Little Mac Design is an absolute pleasure to work with. Ive had the opportunity to partner with her on multiple events, including the 360 Communities fundraiser at Bracketts Crossing and our Networking in Nine event for Eagan City Lifestyle Magazine, and she consistently exceeds expectations.Her photography is beautiful, professional, and captures the genuine energy and emotion of every event. Beyond her talent behind the camera, Nichole is organized, easy to work with, and makes everyone feel comfortable. She has a great eye for storytelling through her images and always delivers a gallery that truly reflects the experience.If youre looking for a photographer who is creative, reliable, and passionate about her craft, I highly recommend Little Mac Design. I look forward to working with Nicole again!

She was calm, kind, and incredibly gentle with our newborn, making sure he was safe and comfortable throughout the entire session. Nicole came fully prepared with beautiful backdrops, outfits, and a variety of poses, making the experience feel effortless from start to finish.Everything was professional, organized, and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer or more beautiful photos. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a talented newborn photographer!
