Curator of Color.
One of a Kind Perspective.
I'd walk up to Long's Drug Store in Central California, excitedly hand over my film, and wait with eager anticipation for the photos to be ready.
Needless to say I understand and appreciate your excitement. Not just for this day but for these memories and that's why I want to give you the colorful, timeless, and true photos. Not only for this day but for you to
treasure forever.
Let me tell you more abouT how I approach your day...
DISCOVER
Throughout my childhood, I always had a camera in hand.
I’ll take the time to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. Whether it's by digging into our shared interests or giving you fun prompts to make you laugh. I keep the energy lively and loose, which allows me to get those natural moments. So it's worth it.
And trust me, you want someone that's like that - particularly on your wedding day. Because besides your significant other, your photographer is with you the entire day. So you should feel comfortable and truly enjoy their company.
No Forced Smiles.
LET'S LAUGH TOGETHER
She made me and my husband feel very comfortable and we were able to just do things how we normally would, and she was there to capture us in the moment.
- Sarah & Sam
Instead, we have fun.
One-of-a-kind,
as nature intended.
CONNECT
Her style is different, we don't want the same pictures everyone else has.
- Shannon & Zac
Many photographers worry compulsively. About whether it's going to be a sunny day. What the lighting at your venue is like and where to stage you. All so that they can make their work look "the same."
I embrace the change. Why?
Because I'm not photographing for me,
I photograph for you.
I may move you slightly, but I try to direct as little as possible because you should look back and feel like you. And because I've photographed in so many different types of places and venues, I've become an expert in working with light. I'll capture your day naturally, as it is with all the surroundings that make it one-of-a-kind for you.
Ever since my grandma passed away, photography has become even more emotional and important. Before she passed, I was always afraid of forgetting the special moments we shared. That's why it is now incredibly important for me to capture your day and your moments well because I don't want you to forget.
I want you to be able to look back on these memories and have happiness, tears, and excitement. And be able to cherish both the special moments you remember and the ones you don't even realize will become so special in the future.
Never Forget.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
Nicole is just amazing. I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing the big moments in my family's life other than her. - Sarah & Sam
