As mentioned before, I want you to feel all the feels when you flip back through, no matter how much time has passed.
You matter to me, your dream matters to me, your vision..EVERYTHING.

every picture tells a story
We couldn't recommend Nichole more! My husband and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary and decided to look into photography. We're pretty shy behind a camera so we were nervous and on top of that our original location and plan was rained out, but Nichole was happy to try anyway and even gave us another shot the next day at another location. She was so easy to be around. Nothing was posed, it was effortless to enjoy each other and that joy was truly present in the gallery she presented us. Each one of the pictures captured our love in a natural and special way.
"We couldn't recommend Nichole more! Captured our love in a natural and special way."
I can't say enough amazing things to describe our session with Nichole! We had such a fun time taking the photos, because she made us feel comfortable and not posed at all. The resulting photo library was incredible, and we are so happy to have a library of gorgeous photos!
"The resulting photo library was incredible.."
Nichole is the BEST. Working with her is so fun. She has an incredibly creative eye for shooting and has made me feel so comfortable being in front of the camera (twice)! Can’t wait to work with her again soon.
"She has an incredibly creative eye for shooting"
Nichole was very professional while also spunky and lively with a great attitude! She was upbeat and fun and we had a great experience in the moments of having our photos taken. And sure enough, we were blown away by the results! She provided a quick turnaround and was a pleasure to work with since first contact. We will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, especially for adventure / elopement!
"And sure enough, we were blown away by the results! "
We had a couples session on-location with Nichole in May of 2023. She has a very light and casual way about her that put us at ease! We don't take pictures often (last time was our wedding 9 years ago!) but we were open to whatever posing or ideas she had and she made it easy peasy! She tried lots of different things and gave direction really well. I'm so happy with our photos!
"She has a very light and casual way about her that put us at ease!"
BUT I don't want you to worry. I will work with you to gain your trust to make and you as comfortable as possible with me. This is an experience and it's all about YOU, so lets make it one of a kind. I want you to be your true real selves. I will guide you by dishing out some prompts and a few silly poses to make the process even more seamless and get some wonderfully, goofy, fun-loving photos. So there is truly no reason to be scared! I give you plenty of space to be you, there is zero pressure!
It's all too often I hear.."be prepared I'm camera shy or we're crazy awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera.
HOLD UP, what could hold you back?
The best way to get in touch is by sending me an inquiry through my contact page. Once it's been submitted, I'll have a better idea of what you're looking for as well as your vision. Plus, I'll get to know just a little about you before fully diving in.
1. Reach out to me
We will set up a time to hop on, zoom, facetime, or the old school way, a simple phone call, whatever you're most comfortable with. We will discuss what you had in mind and find the best package to fit your needs. PLUS, probably the most important thing, see if we're a good fit! Lastly, I'll answer any questions you have!
2. Let's get to chattin'
Once we realize we're a match made in Heaven..& the excitements chilled out for a brief moment, I will send over a contract for you to sign & you'll pay the retainer. Then the date will officially be marked in my calendar, YAY! (Can I get a happy dance?)
3. Make it official

Intimate weddings
You know, the photo albums exploding with 4x6 prints stacked on your grandparents bookshelves; filled with photos of their love story, from their first date, to the moment they said "I do", or perhaps your very first bath in a kitchen sink. Picture yourself browsing through and admiring the simple moments. Moments shot on film have a special feeling, they're authentic and have a sense of nostalgia. So if you're anything like me and just can't get enough of film or flipping through old photo albums, memorized by the colors, appreciate the delicateness, or you're flat out in love with the simple beauty of what film offers...
You can add 35mm film to your package!
For a touch of nostalgia
Turn around time depends on what your package is, sessions are about 2-3 weeks, weddings and elopements 4-6 weeks. Although, I will deliver a sneak peek within 72 hours of your big day for you to share with friends and family.
What is your typical turn around time?
Don't worry I got you, no need to panic! First things first, you want to be as comfortable as possible! With that being said, feel free to bring up to three different outfits, two is ideal for sure! I suggest a more casual look to start off, then dress it up later in the session. I mean a long flowy dress is a MUST...love a good wind swept dress moment. We could dive deeper into this but what you really need to keep in mind, is wear what you feel your most CONFIDENT in, if your confident it will show in your photos!
HELP? What should I wear for my shoot?
Sure do!! Let me know your dream location and we will make it happen, no questions asked. I'm up for traveling anywhere and would low key freak out if you asked me to travel with you! If we are out of the of the 50 miles range of the Charlottesville VA area, I simply ask for 0.55¢ a mile. Elopements and weddings will be quoted.
Do you have travel fees?
I honestly want to embrace the elements BUT I will never put your safety at risk or to be truthful my equipment either. So with that being said, if the weather is not working in our favor we can totally reschedule free of charge.
Sketchy weather? What do we do?
