Don't wait until life gets a little less crazy to capture you and your family.
Hey there! I'm Nicole!
i'm passionate about capturing the beautiful moments of your life.
I’m a Phoenix, Arizona based family photographer and absolutely LOVE my job! Being a mom myself, I see how quickly my daughter is growing and know that the only things I’ll have to hold on to in the future are the photos I capture of her. I love being the one behind the camera directing and helping my clients through a fun and connecting experience.
I specialize in working with families with children of variety of ages, from newborn babies to young adults. Sessions with me have a fun and positive atmosphere, even if that means I have to resort to a little potty humor! I will work with the whole group as well as individuals to capture your unique personalities. Your family matters to me!
As a former special education teacher I feel confident in my ability to work with a wide variety of children and teenagers. Nothing makes me happier than to hear a teenage boy (or dad!) walk away saying, “that was actually a lot of fun!”
At the end of my sessions I often feel like I’ve just made new lifelong friendships. I can’t wait to feel the same way after working with you!
My COMMITMENTs to yOU
1. Fast Turn Around
I know you are excited to see how your photos turned out and so am I!
After our session I will send you a proof gallery with the strongest, best images from your session. These images will be lightly edited. You will be able to choose which images you like best (and purchase additional images or upgrade to full gallery). Your gallery will be back to you within 2-3 weeks of me receiving your selections.
2. Natural and Relaxed Posing and a PATIENT photographer
You’re not the only one who may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and that’s why I’ll come prepared to help best pose you…you’ll notice those butterflies disappearing within minutes! I also know how stressful it can be to do family photos. I can assure you I am up for the task and will approach every situation with a fun attitude and LOTS of patience.
3. Beautifully Edited Images
During my editing process I will carefully look over all of your images and pay close attention to skin tones, details, and more. Your photos will come out looking consistently beautiful.

InCLUDED IN EACH SESSION
Location Guide
When it comes to choosing a location for your next session, I know it can be overwhelming to think about where you’d like to go. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Once you book, I will send over a location guide that has 20+ locations across the valley and Arizona (I have one for Utah, too!) that have great backdrops and beautiful light. You’ll get the chance to look it over and let me know if there’s some place you’d like to go.
Session Guide
You won’t be left alone to plan your upcoming session! After booking I will send over my family session guide which will walk you through each step of planning your session- from choosing a color palette to knowing what to wear to what to do to best prepare a month/week/hour before your session.
Access to My Client Closet
I am so excited to be offering a closet to my clients. I currently have over 30 beautiful dresses that can be worn for any kind of shoots- and I’ve got a diverse selection in sizes XS-3X.
I also have lots of baby and toddler clothes/items that you can look over!
You are welcome to use my client closet free of any additional charge. Once you’ve booked I will send over my guide!
how it works
Booking Your Session
Click the button below to submit an inquiry. You will need to select the package/session you are interested in- if you’re still deciding, no problem! Just let me know in the question portion!
Once your inquiry is submitted, I will respond within 2-3 business days. From there I will confirm your session selection and solidify our session date. I will follow up with emails including the invoice and contract. Once those are complete, your session is solidified on my calendar.
Planning Your Session
All of my clients will receive both a session and location guide to help you prepare for your upcoming family session. These guides are super helpful and include important information such as what colors to wear, what to expect, how to prepare your kids (and husband!), etc! I also offer outfit consultations to my signature package clients.
Selecting Your Images + Delivery of your Gallery!
After your session you will receive a proofing gallery of the strongest images from our session. I will make sure to provide a variety of choices for you. These images will be lightly edited. You will be able to select which images you like best and then I will continue with my final editing and retouching. You will receive your final gallery within 2-3 weeks of selecting your images.
You are welcome to purchase additional images for $15/each or upgrade to the full gallery for $150.
