I'm Nicole, your photographer!

 I'm a Minnesota native with a southern heart. I have lived in the red dirt hills of North Carolina since I was a young child.

IN 2022, MY HEART CALLED ME NORTH, BACK TO MY ROOTS, IN MINNESOTA. YES, (I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT) SNOWFLAKES, SNOWSHOE trekking, and winter coats and more!

Today, I TRAVEL ALL AROUND THE UPPER MIDWEST AND THE CAROLINA'S WITH MY CAMERA FOR WEDDING AND LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY.

this season in my life is for travel, creating, and enjoying being behind camera.

THE MOUNTAINS KEEP CALLING, too! GRATEFULLY, NORTH CAROLINA REMAINS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME ALLOWING ME TO RETURN SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR FOR PHOTOGRAPHY, FAMILY, AND NEW SIGHTS.

and no, i am not charging travel fees, only my camera batteries:)

I am grateful to be climbing this mountain of a passion. I feel blessed with each new couple I work with. You and your partner are the real moments caught, real pieces of time, real people shared.

I love miraculous stories and heroic adventures of how you became each others forever person. Tell me your story! better yet, allow me to be the one holding the camera!!

I only take a select number of clients each year to balance being a mom to three and being available to serve the couples who trust their engagement season with me. I am with you from our first meeting, photography timelines, engagement sessions, bridal portraits, wedding day, and beyond. I want to serve each client to my best and leave them excited for the next chapter in life.

If you’re investing in working together, you probably want to know a Few facts about me…

- I am a mom to three wonderful humans who are 16,14, and 11!

- my biggest “baby” of all though; is my goldendoodle, honey. She is 1 and the fluffiest goofball i ever met! #doodlife #noregrets

- Johny Cash is my favorite kind of music. My kids know who the man in black is and all about the ring of fire, and don't get started with my son and Johnny Yumma! 

- My editing jam is listening to true crime podcasts my weekly musts are park predators, crime junkie, and national parks after dark!

- One of my favorite ways of adventuring is finding a new trail and enjoying the views with my kids, dog and all! Let’s get lost for a day!

- i am a coffee connoisseur. It comes with the job;)

- I am a passionate person. I love hard. I get emotional at every wedding and Disney movie, still! I don't consider this a flaw of mine but rather proof that I can open my heart for anyone and choose to let myself be seen. 

this LIFE IS an ADVENTURE, TAKE THAT NEXT STEP!!
