My name is Nichole, but most just simply call me Nic.
(and it's just so much easier for the kiddos!)

I'm a documentary-style photographer based in Michigan.

I'm also a mom + wife, and those two things I hold so incredibly close to my heart. Taking photos of my family gives me so much joy and I love being able to give that same joy back to others.
Some of my fondest memories of my own childhood are my grandparents videotaping every trip we took or each holiday that we celebrated. Watching the videos, even still today, brings back so many wonderful feelings. I remember loving the scrapbooks my grandma made for us or flipping through the albums full of instant prints, adoring each one. I think this is where my love for more emotional documenting comes from.
 MY PROCESS:
I specialize in intimate views of families, individuals, children & couples, events like births, concerts and weddings. I do it all - I love it all.
I am a cheerleader for the marginalized and I believe love has no bounds. I am a kind, intuitive and understanding individual and I strive to get close to my clients to create timeless frames in every session.
I thrive on being able to create emotional thrilling portraits in every scenario, while giving my clients room to express themselves & capture the real them. I pose lightly with fun & emotive prompts to capture your natural reactions. To make you really feel something.  I absolutely love being a watcher in someone's unique story. Being able to illustrate that special time, over and over again for years to come, is so fulfilling to me.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE IS:
moody, candid, emotional and colorful. Or not colorful at all because my favorite photos are really contrasty black & whites.
I really enjoy sessions where I get to explore with kiddos, help empower individuals with intimate frames of themselves or get to be really candid & intimate with couples. Every session with me is so completely different.

My family is my rock. 

My two kiddos Eli and Evan, are my world and they not only give me something to photograph always, but they ultimately sparked my transition into lifestyle photography, which I'm very thankful for. They showed my heart what it needed to see. I love exploring with them and documenting all of their little moments and I know I will look back on these days and be so fortunate to have had my camera in my hand. Life doesn't slow down, I know from loving them and it makes my job that much more important to me. (The snowy step photos are current day.)
My husband Rob, who shoots every wedding beside me, is my best friend and biggest supporter. We've been best friends since the ages of nearly three and six and I just can't imagine my life without him. I'm always thankful that we were able to reconnect later in life, when life allowed us the opportunity to love one another the way we both needed.
+  I'm creative, funny, empathetic and a support person for anyone who doesn't see just as amazing qualities in themselves - I pride myself on that. I never thought I would share my own boudoir photos, let alone even take some, but I have and I do. I find myself entirely sexy, even if there's a small flaw that I personally don't enjoy. Inspiring others fuels yourself and the vice versa. And why I believe true beauty starts with our inner and really feeling good. And probably why empowering intimate photography is my personal favorite. Empowering others is definitely something to make you feel really, really damn good about. ✿
