Absolutely beautiful! She captured my 6 month old grand daughter's spunkiness!! She was so much fun to work with and really want out of her way for us. She normally works only outdoors and we had planned a beach shoot, but it was 20 something degrees outside and we really did not want to expose her to those temperatures. Instead we had the most adorable Valentine's Day themed photo shoot ever. Loved it. Hire her!!

Nicole was great! We have two young ones that are not the easiest to take pictures with and she was patient and had great ideas!

Nicole was wonderful! She was able to accommodate me during such a busy time of year of college graduations and with such sort notice. Additionally, the turn around time from taking to receiving photos was very quick. I would highly recommend her!

My fiancé and I were going on vacation at Carolina Beach and decided to get our engagement pictures taken while we were there. We looked up photographers and decided on Worth The Shot Media, we were not disappointed!! Nicole was amazing, very friendly, great communication, and I am just obsessed with these pictures! Family and friends commented on how they can feel the love my fiancé and I have through these pictures. If my wedding was going to be in her area, I would have definitely book her for the pictures. I cannot thank Worth The Shot Media enough, they are simply the best!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing includes all digitally edited photos we take in your time frame & my photos are never watermarked.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I love to chat about all the details before we get to the shoot so everyone knows exactly what to expect and we get more time taking photos and having fun!
