Life moves fast, and in the blur of routines and responsibilities, it’s easy to miss the beauty in the everyday. As a family photographer in Scottsdale, Arizona, I create sessions that invite you to slow down and be present with the people you love most. Whether you're snuggled on the couch, running barefoot through the park, or dancing in the evening light, we’ll capture the moments that make your family uniquely yours. These are the images that will carry you back—reminders of joy, connection, and the season you're in now.

family - My Photography process
The family session process is designed to be simple, personal, and enjoyable. From your first inquiry to receiving your gallery, I’m here to ensure that the experience is stress-free and that the images reflect the love and connection you share with your family. We’ll make memories, and I’ll capture them for you to hold onto forever.
the process
01/ Inquiry & Consultation
Once you reach out, we’ll discuss the vision for your family session. Whether you’re envisioning something playful or a more relaxed, candid vibe, we’ll talk about locations, styling, and any ideas you want to bring to life.
02/ Custom Styling & Session Planning
I’ll help you choose outfits that reflect your family’s style and make sure everyone is coordinated without being too matchy. We'll talk about the vibe of the session and ensure you’re all set with any props or special touches you’d like to incorporate.
05/ Delivery of Your Gallery
Your beautiful, high-resolution gallery will be ready in 3-4 weeks, and you’ll be able to download, share, and cherish the moments forever. I’ll also provide print options to help you preserve these memories with gorgeous albums or wall art.
03/ The Session Day
On the day of your session, you’ll simply focus on enjoying the time with your family. I’ll guide you through poses and moments, capturing the natural, candid shots that make your family unique.
04/ Gallery Curation & Editing
After the session, I’ll curate and edit your images with a focus on preserving the authentic joy and connection you shared. Your images will be enhanced with a cinematic feel, polished, and full of love.
"But If you want authentic, active and photos so full of love it warms your heart, then she’s the girl for you."
"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."

"Every photo tells a story, revealing the depth of the moment and the genuine feelings behind it."
"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 truly cares about her clients and we were able to relax and have such a fun experience on the shoot."
"Nicole was absolutely amazing to work with!!! I have worked with plenty of photographers (maternity, engagement, professional, wedding, etc.) and she was hands down the most prepared + professional! She truly cares about her clients and we were able to relax and have such a fun experience on the shoot. Honestly, she should charge a lot more money for the services and photos she provides. We will be using her regularly for any photography needs!! This is your sign, book her now 🙂"

"Looking for a photographer out of state for our family photos seemed like it was going to be a stressful task full of uncertainty.. however once I found Nicole everything was so easy and definitely stress free."
"Everything about our experience was perfect! Looking for a photographer out of state for our family photos seemed like it was going to be a stressful task full of uncertainty.. however once I found Nicole everything was so easy and definitely stress free. I got a link to see some of her work so I knew what I was paying for, she helped us pick out some bomb outfits, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Everything seemed natural and we had so much fun at our shoot. Definitely recommend Nicole whether you live in or out of state! She keeps in contact and takes all the weight off your shoulders plus you have tons of fun! Will definitely get more family photos done by her in the future!"
