Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was so patient with my kids and made the entire experience feel relaxed and fun. I really appreciated how she came prepared with a clear plan for the session—it was well-organized and flowed smoothly. Nicole gave great direction for poses, which made it easy for us to look and feel our best. The images turned out beautifully, and we will definitely be going back to her again! ~Erica G.

Hi, I’m Nicole — a certified, award-winning photographer with a passion for creating meaningful, lasting artwork for my clients. I’ve had the privilege of studying under world-class photographers and receiving a first-class education in the art of photography, which has shaped both my style and commitment to excellence.
My greatest joy comes from telling your story through beautiful, timeless images that become heirlooms for generations. From our very first phone call to the delivery of your finished artwork, I’ll guide you through a thoughtful and personalized experience to bring your vision to life.
Based in the heart of Arizona, I live in the charming town of Payson, surrounded by the pristine Tonto National Forest and the awe-inspiring Mogollon Rim. This stunning backdrop is one of my greatest inspirations and offers incredible natural scenery for on-location portraits. With a portable studio that sets up in minutes, I can meet you in your favorite place or invite you to discover a gorgeous hidden gem right here in Payson.
Whether you're local or coming from nearby Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, or the White Mountains, I’ll make sure your session feels relaxed and authentic. My goal is always to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera—so you can simply be yourself.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me hiking, traveling, or horseback riding with my husband, Pat, and our two horses. Pat often joins me at sessions and proudly takes on the role of my assistant—he likes to call himself my Sherpa! He’s caring, helpful, and brings a great sense of humor to the experience.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
