Everyday Magic, Beautifully Preserved

or how they insist on wearing that same superhero cape every single day.
It’s worth remembering.

On your walls. In your hands.

Proof that it was all real.

3. Thoughtful Guidance Along the Way
I’ll send a mood board and outfit guidance to help you feel prepared (and excited). On session day, all you have to do is show up, enjoy your time together, and let the magic unfold. I’ll gently guide you when needed, always drawing inspiration from how you naturally interact.

4. Your Memories, Made Tangible
After the session, we’ll meet in person and you’ll see your images for the first time, together. I’ll walk you through the beautiful products available: frames, albums, wall art, and more. You’ll leave with photos you can touch, hang, gift, and pass down.

How it works...

1. We’ll Start with a Chat
We’ll hop on a call — not a stiff consultation, but a genuine conversation. I want to know what lights your family up. What your kids are currently obsessed with. The routines, quirks, and traditions you want to remember forever.

2. A Session That Reflects Your Family
We’ll take what you share and shape a session around it — location, timing, even a simple activity or experience we can capture. Something that feels real, relaxed, and reflective of your family.

Because Digital Files Aren’t Enough

I don’t believe in leaving you with digital files and “get the photos printed” sitting at the bottom of your never-ending to-do list. You deserve more than that. You deserve memories that live in your home — as framed prints, wall art, or heirloom albums — where they can be seen, touched, and felt every single day.

Because walking past your favorite memories on a hard day.
Seeing your children point and say, “That’s us!”...
Feeling the warmth of a moment you can relive, again and again…
That’s the real magic.
That’s the whole point.

This is an investment in presence, in connection, and in preserving the beauty of a season that’s gone too soon.
These aren’t just photos. They’re the stories you’ll tell for a lifetime. Let’s give them the home they deserve.

“Nikole is a beautiful person and a talented photographer. She has an unyielding passion to create a genuine experience. There are so many moments that I didn't even realize she captured and she captured them so perfectly. The whole session felt like us being us, nothing forced, nothing disingenuous, it was so organic and it was so easy to be ourselves during the session…Her devotion is absolutely unmatced. I've had many photographers take our photos, but none of the photos have meant more to me that the one's I've recieve from Nikole. BOOK HER!”

"The whole session felt like us being us..."

When my son was one month old we had a photographer come to our home for a newborn session. I was deep in postpartum land. Ragey, stressed, anxious.

The photographer arrived and you know what happened? I had to set all of that down.

For the hour she was photographing us, all that mattered was moving through our favorite daily rituals. All I had to do was be with my baby. Loving him. Holding him. Watching my husband love him, too.All I had to do was be present and soak in my new life. It was a breath of fresh air.

It made me realize that what I do is so much more than shooting and sharing some photos. It's creating an opportunity for you to be fully present with your family. A chance to appreciate the beauty in the life you've created for yourself.

Now, those photos hang on my walls, and every time I see them, I’m reminded: even on the hardest days, this life is still beautiful.

Hi, I’m Nikole — Mother, Photographer and Storyteller.
