Welcome! I'm Nicole, and I would LOVE
to be ​your family's photographer!

Like every mom I know, I wear many hats — full-time photographer, mom to our sweet, happy, curious little boy and our darling rainbow baby girl, wife to my college sweetheart, and creative soul passionate about capturing beautiful moments and memories!

​If there's anything that being a mom has shown me, it's that the years pass so quickly and memories grow sweeter with the passage of time. That's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about being able to capture precious memories for the families I'm so fortunate to work with!

I am an on-location, natural light photographer based in Columbia, South Carolina. I love photographing families in every stage of life, and my photos are known for being warm, bright, and natural. What I love most about being behind the camera is telling the story in front of me, highlighting the joy and relationships between loved ones and capturing each personality!

When I’m not behind the camera or working on my business, you can typically find me exploring in the back yard with our kiddos, listening to a podcast or audio book, fervently jotting down thoughts for my next piece of writing, enjoying a good cup of coffee, or tag-teaming a weekend warrior project with my husband!

The NWP Experience

​From baby bumps to the first days after you welcome your little one into the world, from their first birthday to your annual family photos — my goal is to give you an excellent portrait experience from start to finish and leave you with photographs that you love and will treasure for a lifetime!  I don’t want to just photograph your family… I want to become part of your family and be the photographer that you trust to capture all your beautiful memories for life! 

As a mom, I have witnessed firsthand just how quickly babies grow and change, and I treasure the photos that we have from each stage of our family's life! I also understand just how quickly the months pass, how challenging it can be to find a time in your busy schedule, and how even the thought of getting everyone in your crew ready for a photo session can feel daunting and overwhelming! 

That’s where I come in! I know how stressful it can be to get everyone ready for photo day, so I have streamlined the process to make everything run as smoothly as possible! After you book your session, you will receive my style guide, which will walk you through choosing your wardrobe, preparing your children for a session, and more!

I can't wait to welcome you to the NWP family and capture beautiful memories of you and your loved ones!
