About

Hello, I’m Nicole. Thank you for viewing my portfolio.

I’m a person who loves to share and create beauty, so I feel fortunate to be a photographer by trade. Photography is a powerful medium and I love to use light to tell a story. As a high level studio photographer I strive to make technically and aesthetically dynamic images with an eye for composition, color, and quality of light. My commercial work has appeared in high-end fine art auction catalogs, national print and social media advertising campaigns, and internationally distributed products.

Originally from Southern California, I am currently based in Brooklyn with my spouse Daniel and our adopted cat Redwood.

More information about my life, career, and path to photography can be found in my Bio.
