RECENT WORK
kind words
“Nicole is hands-down one of my favourite photographers to work with! As a model, it’s very important for me to feel comfortable with the person that is shooting me. Nicole always ensures that I am comfortable, and that I am pleased with the results from the projects we’ve worked on. I can’t wait to shoot with her again! ”
“Working with Nicole was an absolute pleasure. She is such a calm person and makes you feel immediately at ease during your shoot. I immediately felt calm and was able to enjoy the process of taking pictures that would be with me for a lifetime. The pictures turned out amazing and I was in love with the way the theme of the photos was brought out so vividly by Nicole. I highly recommend working with Nicole for a wonderful experience and beautiful photos to go with it!”
“Fall is my favourite season and Nicole definitely captured beautiful moments in the beautiful fall colours. I felt so comfortable in front of the camera and was given so many different poses to try. I loved experimenting with different props and overall am so happy with how all my pictures turned out!”
