“Professional, Professional.... PROFESSIONAL! I chose Nicole to execute engagement photos for me, and boy did she deliver!”
Professional, Professional.... PROFESSIONAL! I chose Nicole to execute engagement photos for me, and boy did she deliver!
We began with a zoom call to go over any ideas, looks etc. that I wanted to incorporate in my photos as both parties need to be on the same page. I am glad she accepted and chose usas well because from the initial zoom call to the final reveal zoom call she went above and beyond to achieve what we wanted. Not only did all the photos turned out to be amazing but working with her was such fun and relaxing. She keeps you updated on the entire process and readily avail if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
What I love most is that she makes you feel like you’ve known her for years before/during and after the shoot which makes your photos come out amazing! The most difficult part is selecting what photos you love best because they’ll all come out amazing!
- To Nicole, I say THANK YOU, you were amazing through and through. To everyone else - book her for your next event or photoshoot I promise, you’ll be beyond satisfied!

“We chose Nicole Again!”
We chose Nicole again for our maternity photoshoot because we trust her vision and insight! The entire process from start to finish made us feel extremely comfortable and it allowed us to feel at ease when it came time for the camera. For this second time around, we had our one year old daughter in the photoshoot and because of her patience and grace, we were able to gain amazing family photos that will stay with us for a lifetime! She was able to memorialize a beautiful time in our lives in a way that I don’t think we would have been able to trust with anyone else but Nicole. She is our forever family photographer and we’re grateful to have found her!

“Nicole made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and help me create my look for my shoot.”
I just had My session today with Nicole and Tasha. These ladies make you feel welcome and prepare you for your big day. Today was my first time getting my makeup done by a professional, and Tasha, the makeup artist, did a fantastic job!!! Nicole made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and help me create my look for my shoot. After my shoot, I had so much fun that I went home and took a five-hour nap, lol. Thank You, Nicole and Tasha, for preparing me for a big day. I can't wait to see the final

“She understood my vision from the very beginning and made it even better.”
My shoot with Nicole was so awesome. She understood my vision from the very beginning and made it even better. She was very informative about what props and outfits would be best and was available to answer any questions I had. The day of my shoot was so much fun. We laughed and talked the whole time. It was such a comfortable environment. And my photos came out amazing! I would absolutely work with her again.

Sessions occur in my studio at 36 Waverly Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205, or on-location (outdoors, in hotels, coffee shops, parks, etc.). I have a portable dressing room if you need to change clothes during an outdoor shoot. I usually scout out nearby restrooms where my clients can change clothes.
-
It’s because it’s custom. I take the time to get to know each of my clients to create a photo session and experience that is uniquely theirs. Pre-session consultations, location, lighting, makeup application, and retouching of each image are made to reveal your true essence so that you look and feel your best. Most importantly, ensuring that you look like you!
-
Yes, of course, your photos will be edited. They will not be overly edited. I’m in the business of celebrating people, not making plastic people.
-
Digital images are the most valuable and versatile purchase. Each client receives a print release, which allows you to make prints. You can print the images as many times as you want and make photobooks, albums, and wall art. The print release you receive allows you to make those products yourself. Therefore, the high-resolution files are priced accordingly.
-
You can print high-resolution images. Low Res images are not ideal for printing. However, they are perfect for display online, such as on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
-
Immediately to ensure that you receive your desired date. My calendar is usually booked 1-2 months in advance.
-
An awesome experience! Your custom photo session will be fun, exciting, and relaxed. I will tell you what to do with your hands and guide you into poses.
-
During your pre-session consultation, we discuss the purpose, vision, and themes for your shoot. We go over outfit choices from head to toe. Once we have decided on everything, we then move on to finding a location that compliments you and your shoot
-
After our pre-session consultation, I will send you a guide with tips on what to wear and a checklist of items you should bring to the shoot. I also work with a bevy of fabulous professional fashion stylists, makeup artists, and hair stylists and would be happy to refer you to one should you need one.
-
Total time in-studio means the total time you have in the studio to complete the shoot. This includes time for makeup, hair, changing of clothes, etc.
-
For the mini session, usually one, maybe two, time permitting.
For the classic session, two, maybe three, time permitting.
