"Growing up, we are told to "Do What We Love." Nothing could be more true for me..."
Hi! :) I'm Nicole + here's how I see it.... I believe that portraits are about the very real moments of messiness and day-to-day whimsy that touch our hearts. I am so grateful that I get to share my artistic vision and be entrusted with once in a lifetime memories and I cherish each and every little moment of that unique celebration as if it were my own. I focus on the emotional, candid, and personal aspects of the day using a photo-journalistic approach to photography. Real life doesn't happen when you are asked to smile and say cheese, it's when you are caught in an uncontrollable laugh, it's grass stains and goofy faces, it's a loving embrace and is something that can never be repeated. These are the moments that are important and are the ones you will want to remember. These are the moments in which I strive to capture.
The thing I love most about being a photographer? - Meeting people and discovering the little things that make them extraordinary.
Based out of Dubuque, Iowa and available to photograph Weddings + Portraits in Northern IL, the Galena & Dubuque area, and Wisconsin regularly. Planning a Destination Wedding? I'm available for travel worldwide. I love to travel and will seize every opportunity to do so.
