ABOUT ME | THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LENS
Scottsdale Family photographer for those who cherish the real, unfiltered moments.
Hi, I’m Nicole—lifestyle photographer, storyteller, and your calm in the beautiful chaos.
I specialize in connection-focused photography that captures the real stuff—the crinkled-nose giggles, the quiet in-between moments, the way your family fits together. Whether we’re laughing in a sunlit field or snuggled on the couch, I’m here to help you slow down and bottle up the love that lives in your everyday.
With a background in teaching and a heart rooted in storytelling, I bring patience, empathy, and intuition to every session. You don’t need to pose perfectly or plan every detail—I'll gently guide you with thoughtful styling support, location ideas that feel like home, and an experience designed especially with moms in mind. Because I know you carry so much, and I want this to feel easy, honest, and deeply meaningful.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me savoring a Reese’s stick, wandering mountain trails, or getting lost in a good book (recommend one anytime). I’m all misty mornings and pine-scented air—not so much the ocean breeze kind of girl. But wherever I am, I’m always drawn to what feels real, warm, and full of heart—just like the stories I help you hold onto.
"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."
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!
