Timeless Photography
​for the Sentimental mom

I tell your family’s story with photos that capture all the big & little details of this season of life
I see you, friend... the to-do list parading through your mind every day, all the behind-the-scenes details that you handle for your family.

​You want beautiful photos to look back on and remember this season of life… but planning a photo session also feels overwhelming. I get it.
Are you ready for a photography experience that's about more than just beautiful pictures?
Then you’re in the right place! I believe that having your photos taken shouldn’t feel like one more task on your to-do list—it should be a seamless AND enjoyable experience where you are guided through every step of the process.

​My goal for every session is for you to feel calm and confident getting in front of the camera while I capture beautiful memories of you and your family!
Tell me more!

Welcome, friend! I'm Nicole!

I’m a mom, just like yoU

And I know what it’s like to watch your babies grow up right before your eyes and wish there was a way to freeze time so you don’t miss a single moment.

I’m passionate about getting moms like you in front of the camera with your family, providing expert guidance through every step of the process so you feel confident that all the details are taken care of.
​
My goal is for you to feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your family on session day while I capture the love in the big and little moments—memories that you will enjoy reliving through timeless, beautiful photographs.

Which season of life ​are you looking to capture?

Mirror selfies are a fun way to document your pregnancy, but a maternity session is a beautiful way to truly capture the love you already feel for your baby and the anticipation of waiting for their arrival!

newborn

The newborn days are hazy, and your baby will change so quickly in the first weeks of life! Let's make sure you never forget just how small he was, or the exact, tender way you looked at her snuggled in your arms.

Sunrise Maternity Session on Lake Murray
It was a quiet morning, rosy streaks of pink and orange sunrise giving way to a golden morning glow. The waters of Lake Murray lapped quietly at the shore, and it was just us and the early morning fishermen — although it very well could have been just the two of them, the sweetest, most radiant parents-to-be savoring every moment of the final weeks before meeting their long-awaited little one.

New parents looking adoringly at their new baby girl during their in-home newborn lifestyle session in Columbia, SC
The new mama gazed lovingly into her baby’s face and called her name in the sweetest sing-song voice as her daughter slept soundly in her daddy’s arms. You could see the love and thought that went into every detail of this cozy space, and the look in their eyes told that nothing could compare to the joy of having their precious little one—the one they had dreamed of and prayed for—finally in their arms.

Cozy Fall Family Session at Home
Snuggles and tickles on mom and dad’s bed. Mom and daughter baking cookies together while dad and son played together on the floor. A sweet, happy boy, grinning with the biggest smiles after kisses from his mama, and his spunky, independent big sister eager to show the way! There was such a feeling of coziness and warmth in this precious family’s home, and it felt like the most perfect Saturday morning as I photographed them together at home!
