Introduction

I call myself an "all purpose" photographer serving Connecticut. Photography is a HUGE passion of mine! There are two things I love about photography: The first is the ability to capture a moment in time; it’s exhilarating the moment the shutter clicks. The second thing I love is interacting with you, my client. I love being able to get to know my clients and their families. I have the opportunity to quietly observe and capture moments of their love, personalities, movements, gestures and depth. It’s the greatest honor I could ever have.

Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with. My fiance and I wanted engagement photos taken, and I was nervous at first, but Nicole was so professional, responsive, and talented and captured our amazing moments. I sent her my inspiration ahead of time; which she studied, and caught EVERY moment I wanted. I highly recommend her, we got our proofs back in a matter of days, and I couldn’t be more happy!

Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Candid • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Nicole did an AMAZING job with our proposal photos! She captured the moment perfectly and then took some engagement photos, which were all absolutely perfect! We loved them all and she made us both feel so comfortable. Beyond that she knew we would want the photos ASAP so she got them to us later that day! Nicole was also super kind, friendly and personable!!
