Joseph + Danielles Wedding

nichole captured the most beautiful, raw moments from these first few hours that we will cherish forever. nichole wa so respectful, gentile and careful. and as a mother herself, she was actually incredibly helpful with swaddling and even shared some great tips that made me feel a little more comfortable as a first time mom. the photos are beautiful and i'm beyond grateful we had her there to document these memories and hope to use her again in the future. 

she brought a calm presence into the room during such a sensitive and emotional time

~ Scott + Katies Proposal

Nichole goes to any length to make sure she'e getting perfect pictures. She hiked up a mountain nine months pregnant and with her toddler strapped to her back. If that doesn't scream dedication and commitment, i don't know what does. very knowledgeable and personable, which makes the experience that much better - especially someone who is as nervous as i was.
