ABOUT ME | THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LENS
Scottsdale Family photographer for those who cherish the real, unfiltered moments.
Hey there! I’m Nicole—a lifestyle photographer, storyteller, and your go-to expert at wrangling giggles and turning chaos into pure magic.
I specialize in capturing the love, laughter, and all the little moments that make your family uniquely yours. Whether it’s the way your toddler’s nose crinkles when they laugh, the cozy hugs you share, or the quiet moments that speak louder than words—I’m here to freeze those fleeting seconds into timeless memories.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me immersed in a great book (got any recommendations?), savoring a Reese’s stick like it’s five-star cuisine, or dreaming of my next mountain getaway. The Pacific Northwest holds my heart with its misty mornings, towering trees, and cozy cabin vibes—it’s my ultimate happy place. But don’t expect to find me anywhere near the ocean; I’m all about trails, not tides.
Before diving full-time into photography, I spent my days teaching middle schoolers to love reading as much as I do. Those years taught me patience, empathy, and how to truly listen—qualities that shape how I approach every family session.
Here’s what I offer for your session:
♡ Connection-focused photography: No stiff poses here—just real moments that showcase your family’s bond.
♡ Timeless styling guidance: From helping you pick outfits to ensuring everything feels effortless and stress-free.
♡ Locations that feel like home: Whether it’s a sunlit field, your cozy living room, or an adventurous outdoor spot, we’ll pick a place that vibes with your family.
♡ Mom-centered experience: I get it—moms keep the world spinning. That’s why I’ve created a calm, easy process so you can focus on what really matters: your family.
Whether we’re laughing in a field, snuggling on the couch, or chasing golden hour light, my goal is to give you an experience that feels as special as the memories we’ll capture together.
"Nicole is THE best photographer you will ever hire. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart."
Nicole is THE best photographer you will ever hire. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. If you want boring cookie cutter, matching outfits and smiles, Nicole isn’t for you. But If you want authentic, active and photos so full of love it warms your heart, then she’s the girl for you. From the moment you sign your contract she goes above and beyond what basic photographers do. The portfolio she puts together, the FaceTime call/ house call to go over outfit ideas, to the day of the shoot. She works so well with children(which makes sense because she’s a teacher), she someone managed to get my 2 year old to follow directions!😂 not only that but my husband can be very awkward/ uncomfortable with photos but she always manages to get him to have fun and he walks away genuinely happy and excited to see the photos. Thank you Nicole! The Will’s love you.

"The shoots are always so fun and Nicole always creates such a great environment you don't even feel like you are getting your picture taken. "
Nicole has taken so many pictures for me and every single time I have had an amazing experience. She has taken my senior pictures, my engagement pictures, my family pictures, even pictures with puppy, and I have loved EVERY single picture she has taken. The shoots are always so fun and Nicole always creates such a great environment you don't even feel like you are getting your picture taken. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that was looking to capture any big moments in their lives.

Nicole is an artist. Her ability to capture authentic emotions is truly amazing. Every photo tells a story, revealing the depth of the moment and the genuine feelings behind it. Her unique style adds an artistic touch that makes each image not just a picture but a work of art. It looks like something straight out of a magazine or a movie. If you're looking for a photographer who can beautifully blend emotion, style, and storytelling, we highly recommend Nicole.

"She made us feel incredibly comfortable, and I really enjoyed her creative prompts and poses."
Nicole shot photos of my husband and me yesterday, and we had the best time! She made us feel incredibly comfortable, and I really enjoyed her creative prompts and poses. Nicole truly gets into her work, and it's clear she’s just as excited about the photos as we are. As a bonus, it’s always a plus when your photographer has a great personality too—we left feeling like we’d gained a new friend. One last thing: Nicole made such an impression on the people around us that a family left a note on her windshield asking her to contact them for a shoot. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Nicole as your next family photographer!
