RESOURSES FOR WEDDING AND LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHERS

 

 Oh hey there, if we haven’t met YET I’m Nicole.

The cliche momma who picked up a camera in the midst of a chaotic newborn THRILL ride and quit frankly never put it down. From motherhood to a motherlode of passion filled experiences that have catapulted me into owning several small businesses.

I specialize in lifestyle, elopement, and wedding photography. Who thrives on crafting intentional moments through authentic storytelling.

6 years ago, with a canon rebel t3i and a kit lens in my hands, my husband looked me in the eye and said “you should do something with this.” He believed in me before I believed in myself and it catapulted into something I would have never imagined for myself, my family and our legacy.

I made the jump because people believed in me, and I invested into myself and my business straight out of the gate. My feet have yet to land as I continuously make those investments. And something that has been laid upon my heart is to help in any way possible, because I know what it was like in the beginning and the help that I received from other creatives will never go unnoticed.

I truly believe that if you want something, and you know someone has what you want: the key to achieving it is to take what that person did and do exactly what they did. Therefore; LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS WHAT YOU WANT.

In all areas of life, marriage, relationships with kids, work etc. We don’t always have to reinvent the wheel. There are artists who have gone before you and their story; if shared, can be a stepping stone in your growth.

So I am here to vulnerably SHARE with you from the pit of my own journey/mistakes and achievements exactly how I am sitting in this seat today crafting this educational platform for YOU.

YOU SHOULD BE YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT!

There is only one thing in life and business that will have a 100 percent return on your investment- and that is the investment you make into yourself. When you invest into yourself, you GROW and when you grow; your business will have no choice but to also GROW. It’s pretty simple the way that it works when you think about it.

Like a plant sitting in your living room beside your couch right now. If you choose to water it, nurture it and speak life into it then it will grow. You are the plant. If you choose to do the necessary things to make you grow, nurture yourself and also speak life into it; you too will GROW.

When I started my business I reached out to other photographers who were doing what I had only dreamt of doing, I invested in myself by learning from them and in return I have embarked on this incredible journey of owning my own businesses and navigating the world of being self employed and all that it has to come with.

I am human and I have made numerous mistakes, and I am here to be transparent with you to help you avoid some of those same mistakes. (like when I never set a percentage of each pay check aside for taxes- MISTAKE)

I am here to meet you where you’re at, and help you in this beautiful photography journey. It truly is the best gig on this planet.

You have to stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you think that you are not “ready” yet. No one will ever be ready. It’s time to jump.

“Your energy is currency. Spend it well. Invest it wisely.”
