Hey there!

I'm Nicole, a Phoenix, Arizona based photographer

I specialize in portrait, lifestyle, and wedding photography and have a serious passion in capturing my clients’ beautiful lives and their most important moments! I have always had a love for photography and feel so lucky to be able to document so many amazing moments. My clients and their overall experience are so important to me! The amazing humans I capture are my “why” for running this small business.

Although I am based in Phoenix, Arizona I do frequently travel to the Salt Lake City, Utah area for photography work. I love being able to make so many connections and have so many clients in both locations!

I grew up in South Jordan Utah and moved to Phoenix in 2014. Previous to starting my photography business I worked as a special education teacher and LOVED it. I made the hard decision to pursue something outside of the classroom in order to have more flexibility with my schedule once I became a mom to my little girl, Ava.

In my free time you can find me playing the viola, chatting with friends, watercoloring, or baking yummy cookies!

Starting Saguaro and Spruce Photography has been an incredible experience and I am loving every single moment of it! I love what I do and I love the beautiful souls I get to capture.

I CANNOT WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU!
