Hi, I am Nicole.

First and foremost I am a fellow human, a wife, and a mama. I am originally from California where I was born and raised. I spent my college years in the beautiful state of Washington where I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Speech Communication. I then moved to Costa Rica, where I lived for 11 years and met my husband (also originally from California), and we had all 3 of our children. As of April 2021, we are living in Beirut, Lebanon.

Photographing families, couples, and babies really became important to me when I myself became a mama. I have always loved photography and videography, but it became so much more significant to me once I had kids of my own and saw how quickly they grew and changed right before my eyes. The way a baby fits so perfectly in it's mothers arms, the glimmer in a child's eyes, the connection between mom and dad as they soak in the love they've brought into the world... I live to capture those moments! To be able to document these memories for families to keep forever is an honor for me. I am incredibly grateful for what photography gives to us as humans and it is my absolute joy and pleasure to give that gift to others.
