the investment.

the approach


you've made it this far - that means my work spoke to you & my photography aesthetic is what you were looking for. from the moment you inquire to after your gallery has been delivered, I will be a text or call away. once your ideal date is scheduled, I will guide you on what to wear, narrow down a location - we will brainstorm together. tell me your likes and dislikes, your expectations; choose a type of session and lets get to know each other - the more I know the smoother the session flows.




photography to me has always been a creative outlet to express oneself, to tell a story, to document moments that will last a lifetime. during your session, I will document the in-betweens moments: the laughter, the tickling, light-hearted fun, quick chase, slight touches and sweet whispers | just be present in the moment. want to dance? bake in your kitchen? run in the rain? do an out-of-the-box session?

"I cannot say enough positive things about Nicole.  From the beginning, she was responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to communicate with.  She took beautiful pictures and was also super patient while my girls cried unexpectedly and she had to stay longer than she had planned.  She is amazing & I would recommend her to anybody and everybody.  Truly a gem!"

"Nicole was a great photographer to work with! Not just because of her work/aesthetic but because she made me feel comfortable, natural, beautiful and less awkward.  She was engaging, entertaining, fun, personable, and paid attention to all the little details that often go unnoticed. i also truly appreciated her editing skills as most photographers do excessive airbrushing to the point where it doesn’t even look like you! i appreciated that features like my freckles and beauty marks were shown and not hidden. Her turnaround time was also great! We received amazing photos and there was not 1 photo I wasn’t in love with which i appreciate and will cherish these photos for a lifetime! i cannot wait to work with her again as I will definitely be using her for all my photography needs!"

“Nicole photographed my maternity photos, and was amazing from beginning to end. It felt natural to have our pictures taken, as she was always making us laugh and helping us be ourselves. She captured the most beautiful candid moments of our family bonding together. Nicole’s energy throughout the shoot was amazing. My husband felt so comfortable and my daughter just fell in love her. We are in love with our photos and couldn’t be happier.“

valido family

"Our experience with Nicole was amazing! She makes you feel comfortable and like she has known you forever, she knows exactly the right moment in which to capture your most genuine self.

I fell in love with her spirit and energy.. she made every feel so comfortable. She has great energy and it showed throughout the entire shoot. She was very knowledgeable. She had great ideas, was very patient, and gave great direction. She's a professional and beautiful person inside and out and I'd recommend her to everyone! I would definitely hire her again."

FAQ

 

what's the booking process like?
you fill out the contact form | I send you all the awkward paperwork, followed by a 50% non-refundable retainer | we schedule the date | & everything after is just creating your vision.
how long will it take to receive my gallery?
you can expect 3|4 weeks for lifestyle sessions and 8|10 weeks for intimate weddings & elopements.
how many images will I receive?
every session varies in the amount of images delivered, but I promise I’ll always include plenty of images of everything I document. with that said: lifestyle sessions: 50+ images - elopements | intimate weddings: 50|75+ images per hr of coverage
do you travel?
ABSOLUTELY! just keep in mind, there is a travel fee involved.
do you deliver sneak peaks?
of course - I can't contain my excitement to look at the images as soon as I get home. for lifestyle sessions, you will receive sneak peeks within a week after our session. for intimate weddings & elopements, you will receive sneak peeks within 72 hours.
what's your cancellation policy?
if you have to cancel for whatever reason, you will not receive a refund of your deposit, however its good towards any session with me within a year from your previously scheduled date | if I had to cancel for some reason, which would only be due to something out of my control (illness, death, catastrophe) - I would refund your deposit and try my absolute best to find a replacement or get you rescheduled as soon as possible, if it is a non-wedding.
is a deposit required?
yes. a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to book a date and the remaining 50% is due on 5 days before your scheduled date.
what should we wear?
earthy tones work best with my style of photography and editing. coordinate colors but don’t match. dresses for moms add movement and flow. colored pants for dads over jeans (although some jeans work). just remember I am available to assist you the whole way through - do not hesitate to reach out to me; text or email.
what if I am late?
I get it - life happens and sometimes we run late. depending on how late you are and the lighting available, we will continue with your session. otherwise, while I will do my very best to accommodate your reschedule at a later date, it cannot be guaranteed - please keep in mind the 50% retainer is non-refundable.
what if the weather doesn't cooperate?
l'm all for embracing the unexpected - that's when the best images are captured. however, if you do not feel like being spontaneous - we can definitely reschedule for later date.
