Meet Your Family Photographer: A Bit About Me
Hi there! I’m Nicole Londot (pronounced lawn-doh), a natural light family photographer based in Scottsdale, Arizona, who specializes in capturing authentic moments.
Though Arizona is home, my work takes me all over—from Maryland to Minnesota, Oregon to Washington. Wherever you want me to capture your family’s love, I will be there.
Family photography is more than my profession; it’s my purpose and passion. Each session with me is an opportunity to capture your family’s most authentic, heartfelt moments.
The Roots of My Passion
A Creative Beginning in Authentic Photography
Growing up with creative parents—my dad, a professional photographer, and my mom, an endless well of creativity—fostered my love for photography early on.
As a child, I was rarely seen without a camera in hand. Photography became an integral part of my life, shaping who I am today and leading me to discover my true purpose.
The Journey to Finding My Purpose in Family Photography
When I first began my photography journey, my dreams were big and adventurous. Like many young photographers, I imagined myself traveling the globe, capturing hidden beauty in nature for National Geographic (of course).
But, ironically, a college portrait class completely shifted my path.
Though I initially dreaded photographing people, I soon realized that capturing human connections brought me more fulfillment than I could have imagined.
Returning to Photography After Education
How Teaching Shaped My Work with Families
Though my heart was in photography, I took a brief detour to earn my Master’s degree in Elementary Education.
Working in the classroom taught me so much about creativity, patience, and connecting with children—lessons I bring to my family sessions today.
But deep down, I missed the freedom that photography offered.
Returning to family photography felt like reuniting with an old friend, and this time, I brought with me a new perspective.
Why Authentic Family Photography Became My True Calling
Family photography is not just about pictures; it’s about creating a visual record of your family’s love, laughter, and connection.
My goal is to capture real, candid moments—not staged or overly posed scenes.
Instead, I work to create a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable enough to just be themselves.
I believe capturing your family authentically allows me to create timeless art that tells your story.
What to Expect During an Authentic Session with Me
Creating a Stress-Free, Genuine Experience
If you’re looking for a family photography experience that’s relaxed and fun, you’re in the right place.
When you book a session with me, it’s all about family time.
I gently guide you to get comfortable in front of the camera, helping you focus on each other rather than the lens.
My goal is to capture the natural magic of your unique family dynamic.
Authentic Sessions Designed for Young Families
Over my 11 years in photography, I’ve worked with families of all ages, but I find special joy in capturing young families.
There’s a sense of newness, excitement, and curiosity that comes with young children.
From their little giggles to the way they reach for a parent’s hand, these moments are truly magical, and I feel honored to help families preserve them.
Capturing the Little Details That Make Memories Last
Focusing on Authentic Moments and Genuine Emotions
Some of my favorite moments to capture are the ones that might otherwise go unnoticed: a toddler’s tiny hand reaching for yours, a spontaneous hug from your child, or a loving glance shared between partners.
These small details add depth to your story, weaving together the fabric of your family’s connection in a way that’s both genuine and timeless.
My Commitment to Authenticity in Every Image
In today’s world, family photography can sometimes feel overly posed or “perfected.”
But I believe true beauty lies in authenticity.
I don’t rely on matching outfits or strict poses; instead, I focus on capturing the joy, connection, and love that already exist within your family.
By allowing you to be yourselves, I can create images that feel true to who you are.
