Nicole grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. As a child she was always interested in art and in high school she became devoted to photography. To fulfill her passion, Nicole received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography from UW-Oshkosh, and soon after earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia.

Besides photographing weddings and other milestone events, Nicole boasts an impressive resume of hospitality and customer service jobs, including her favorite, as a Concierge. She delights in trips to the beach, spending time with her sassy black cat, Ms. Cherry, and confesses to watching cheesy reality television for fun. A competitive swimmer, Nicole believes in strong work ethics and dedication in all aspects of her life; which is a testament to her exceptional photographic portfolio.

Similar to what you see in the wedding magazines, your photographs will be a wonderful collection of images captured from various aspects of your wedding day. My mission on your wedding day is to portray the essence and story of your day in a photojournalistic and fine art style. I will photograph the carefully planned beautiful details, emotion-filled interactions with family and guests, and traditional and untraditional group portraits. Special time is also set aside to photograph you and your spouse in a picturesque location.

"Nicole - WOW! WOW! Is the only word that Laura and I could use when we saw your photos of our wedding for the first time. Every time someone else saw the photos 'WOW" was all they could say too. They are beautiful and reflect the beauty of our wedding day and the love Laura and I have for one another. We joke sometimes about getting married all over again, just for another set of your photos. Thanks for all you did!"
- John & Laura

"Nicole - Our photography experience is one of the best memories of our wedding. We enjoyed working with you so much. And now the photographs - we are completely overwhelmed, they are so impressive; when we show them to people, they feel the same, some with tears in their eyes. Looking through the photo album, it seemed more as if we were looking through a top bridal magazine than looking at pictures of us. Not only are you a great photographer, you are a tremendous artist." - Dewaine & Christina

"Nicole was completely professional and easy to work with from our first meeting; she provided us with examples of her work and was able to provide us with a complete list of her prices and services up front, so we knew exactly what we would be getting and when (which was a nice change compared to other photographers we interviewed).
On our wedding day Nicole did an excellent job of capturing outstanding photographs while not being obtrusive to us or our guests and was really able to catch us during intimate moments that would otherwise be forgotten.
After receiving our photographs, I was amazed with how artistic they were - she was able to capture so many little details. Even after nearly 8 months of marriage, I still find myself looking at the photographs weekly and being so glad that Nicole captured our day for us!" - Joyce & Ken

"I have always wanted only the best for my daughter and Nicole proved to be one of the best in her field. Professional, spirited, gentle, incredibly artistic and fantastically unique, Nicole gave us the ultimate wedding gift - a blissful way to relive the wedding day for generations to come."
- Peggy (mother of the bride)

What a joyous time! I want to accentuate your baby's every heart-melting expression. Your baby's portfolio is created in the comfort of your home, so that I may capture natural personalities and emotions, the charm of the nursery and interactions with siblings and/or pets.

I also enjoy taking pregnancy portraits, as it becomes an excellent addition to your baby's photo album.

Like my wedding services, I am available for travel anywhere to photograph you and your baby. Whether it is capturing your little one at the hospital on the first day of birth, or your baby's first visit to the ocean, I would be honored to be your personal photographer for an hour or a day!

Please contact me for availability and quotes.

"Quiet joy…that's what I was feeling during my pregnancy and you got it. Thank you!" - Selena

"Nicole - We were grateful to have you with us to capture our first hours in the hospital as a family. You took the pictures we would have never thought to take, and they are now our most treasured.
The birth of our daughter was such a joyous occasion, and we are delighted to have such precious first memories captured so beautifully. Thanks for your warmth and professionalism! The pictures are stunning in their simplicity."
- Selena & Jeff

"Nicole took amazing pictures of my son and our family when he was 4 months and then again when he was 1 ½ years old. She did a great job of understanding that her subject was a little man with a big personality and let him be himself - good and bad- with great results. Our time with Nicole was truly a gift and we continue to treasure the pictures she's taken of our family."
- Sarah & family

"Your pictures translate our emotions of pride happiness and love into something that words cannot. We especially cherish the portraits of our daughter as you were able to capture not only beautiful images, but representations of how we felt to become parents. A moment in time that we will never forget, thanks to the beautiful book of photos we have to look at always." - Katherine and Jason
