Client Reviews

"Nicole is a truly remarkable photographer. Her skills are second to none, and she captured our wedding better than we could have imagined. Not only that, but she is fun to work with and makes the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Our photos were so natural because she simply blended in and didn’t make any photos feel forced. We’re so thankful for her services and I recommend her for all your photography needs. You’ll be happy you booked her."

"Nicole and her team are the DREAM TEAM! I highly recommend! First off, our wedding photos are spectacular and I cannot stop looking at them. Secondly, her preparation is unmatched. She visited our wedding venue before the wedding and worked closely with our planner on the timeline. She made sure to include all my preferences. Lastly, on our wedding day she went above and beyond our expectations. She held the day together so well and all our pictures occurred so seamlessly. I am so grateful for all their hard work and attention. I felt valued, and not just like another client on their calendar. I really cannot say enough positive things. We couldn't be happier!"

"If Nicole was only an amazing photographer she is, I'd give her 5 stars, but she is so much more! She was a tremendous help throughout our wedding planning all the way up to the day of. She started off interviewing us to get to know us and get a feel for the things that were important to us and helped us through scheduling everything day of, from waking up to ceremony to reception.Nicole did amazing on our wedding day and came with another shooter - Angelica who was also great - and an assistant, and all together they were like a second wedding coordinator, making every transition feel so smooth. I was so impressed by how they were in the perfect spots at the perfect time, and I felt like every moment was captured."

From our initial contact, Nicole and I totally connected and I knew she would be the best partner for our big day! she worked with us every step of the way! And she even traveled for our engagement session in our town! She was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process.

"There is so much to do when planning for a wedding and on the wedding day itself. We were so fortunate to have hired this amazing photographer who not only provided the most beautiful picture, but also made our wedding day run smooth with her attention to detail. Nicole took both our engagement and wedding photos. She made sure we got the pictures we wanted, as well as picture we didn’t even realize we wanted! I dislike taking pictures so I was so grateful she made us feel so comfortable and made the process a lot of fun as well. You can not go wrong in hiring her for your special day or any occasion."

"Booking Nicole as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the very beginning of the booking process she made us feel so special and like friends.  Nicole was responsive throughout the entire 9 months leading up to our wedding and reached out to us to make sure she knew everything we wanted for the day of our wedding and our schedule. Hiring Nicole and her team was the best money we spend on our wedding and we hope to get to continue to work with her for future family photos! I can’t recommend her enough."

I couldn't take the images I do and serve our couples the way I do without my team!  I am the main photographer, planner, consultant, etc.  I edit all of the images and communicate with clients.  However, the people that support me are equally important!  My husband, Zack is my rock and my support.  He comes with me to engagement sessions to get to know our couples and to encourage the grooms that this is actually going to be fun!  Zack also accompanies me to weddings where he sets up flashes and runs point for me and the bride and groom if they need anything.  Angelica is my close friend and my phenomenal second shooter.  I have trained her to be the second ME!  She not only takes great images, but she is incredibly fun to be around!

we are a team!

Zack and I truly understand the chaos of life’s many seasons because we’ve lived through most of them ourselves! With two daughters and a son-in-law, life has been a whirlwind of fun, excitement, and, yes, a bit of insanity. We've experienced family, senior, and branding sessions firsthand—and hopefully, a maternity session is in our future too!

When our daughter Mackenzie married Antonio in 2022 here in San Diego, we got a front-row seat to the whirlwind that is wedding planning. It was an exciting and memorable journey, but we know how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why we’re here for you every step of the way. From planning to the final photo, we’re fully committed to supporting you throughout the photography process. We’ve got your back—because we’re all in this together!

we just had a wedding too!

Frequently asked questions

Have questions?

An online gallery is where I will deliver all of your high resolution images to you so you can download them onto your computer.  You will receive ALL of the images from your portrait session at no additional cost.  From this gallery you will also be able to order any prints, canvases, albums, etc. that you wish.  Not only that, but you can share the gallery with family and friends so they can download your images as well!

WHAT IS AN ONLINE GALLERY?

Through the years I have shot portraits in some really beautiful places in San Diego and elsewhere.  I have created a Location Slideshow with links to blog posts showing many sessions in different locations.  I also will note any special circumstances surrounding each location.

how do we choose a location for our portrait session?

As soon as you. book your your portrait session or wedding with us, I will send over my Style Guide or Bridal Guide , which is filled with lots of advice on what to wear and how to prepare.  The Bridal Guide also has lots of great suggestions on how to play your wedding!

how do we know how to prepare for a portrait session or a wedding?

A retainer is basically a deposit or a down payment.  It "retains" my services for the date you are requesting and guarantees I will not book another client on that date.  Retainers are non-refundable since I am turning away other clients for the date you have requested.

WHAT IS A RETAINER?

First, reach out and tell me a little about yourself and what type of  photography you are interested in (link is above).  I will then send over my Investment Guide and if you decide you want to book, I will then send a proposal and a contract to you online.  Sign, pay the retainer, and we are all set!
