Hi, I'm nicole
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a kid—starting with my dad’s old 35mm Pentax. That camera sparked my love for storytelling through photographs, and years later, it still reminds me why I do what I do: to capture life as it really feels.
When you work with me, you’ll get more than just polished portraits—you’ll get imagery that feels honest, connected, and true to your story. My approach blends lifestyle and portrait photography to capture the real moments in between: the laughter, movement, quiet connection, and little details that make your relationships uniquely yours.
Creativity runs deep in my home, too. My husband is an accomplished artist, and every so often he’ll lend his eye to a session—helping scout locations or add a touch of vision behind the scenes. Those collaborations have become some of my most cherished work.
Photography isn’t just my profession; it’s the heartbeat of my life. My goal is always to create portraits that feel timeless and emotive—images you’ll treasure long after the moment has passed.
FAQ
What kind of photography do you specialize in?
I blend a lifestyle and documentary approach with an editorial eye, creating images that feel both artful and authentic. Whether I’m photographing families, couples, maternity, seniors, or intimate weddings and elopements, my focus is always on capturing real moments with warmth, connection, and a timeless, film-inspired aesthetic.
How long will my session last?
Session length varies based on the type of session and the experience you’re looking to create. Most portrait sessions, intimate weddings/elopements, and branding or lifestyle sessions are tailored to allow space for natural connection, movement, and storytelling. Full details can be found on my Services page, and custom coverage is always available if you need something more personalized.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can happen wherever your story feels most at home — outdoors, in your house, or at a meaningful location. I’m skilled with both natural and flash photography, so whether it’s golden hour, cloudy skies, or an indoor reception, I’ll adapt the light to fit the moment.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
Most galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Weddings and elopements may take up to 6 weeks, depending on the season. I usually send a few sneak peeks within the first few days because I get just as excited as you do!
What should we wear?
Neutral or earth tones always photograph beautifully, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and yourself. Flowing fabrics and layered textures add depth, while simple outfits keep the focus on connection. After booking, you’ll receive my session prep + style guide with outfit inspiration.
Do you offer prints, albums, or wall art?
Yes! Every gallery includes professional print options, plus I design heirloom albums and custom wall art so your photos can live off the screen and in your home.
How do I book a session?
Fill out the contact form on my site. To secure your date, a signed contract and retainer are required. The balance is due by your session or wedding date.
What if we need to reschedule?
Life happens — kids get sick or something unexpected comes up. Portrait sessions include one complimentary reschedule, except in the case of weather - Louisiana weather is unpredictable and we will reschedule as needed. For weddings, I’ll work closely with you to adjust if needed.
Do you travel for sessions or weddings?
Yes! I’m based in Baton Rouge but available for travel across Louisiana, Mississippi, and beyond. Travel fees may apply for locations more than 50 miles away.
How many images will I receive?
Every gallery is thoughtfully edited in my signature style — blending lifestyle storytelling with editorial polish to create images that feel both timeless and true to life. Collection details and image counts vary by session type and can be found on my Services page. Portrait sessions are also customizable if you’re looking for a smaller, more tailored final gallery.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes. Each image is hand-edited to balance light, color, and mood. I keep edits natural: I’ll remove blemishes and distractions, but I won’t airbrush you into something unrecognizable. My goal is images that feel both authentic and artfully finished.
Can we bring our pets?
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family, and I love including them in sessions. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.
Do you back up the photos?
Yes — every gallery is backed up on multiple drives and in the cloud. I also encourage clients to download and save their galleries in more than one place once delivered.
Can I share my photos on social media?
Yes! I’d love for you to share them. Please tag me or invite me to collaborate when you post — it means so much. You’ll also receive a print release for personal use and be asked to sign a model release so I too can post your images on social media.
