I Photograph...

Families & Couples
Vacation sessions that capture the joy, the chaos, the love—the real you against Oregon’s wild beauty.

Elopements & Micro Weddings
Intimate celebrations where the coast is your cathedral and every detail is intentionally yours.

“Nicole has taken the most incredible photos to document our little guy growing up, our breastfeeding journey, family photos, and even business branding photos for me. Not only is she extremely talented in her skill, she is professional, kind and super fun to hang out with making you feel comfortable while being in front of a camera. ” Emma Plummer

Based in Brookings. In Love with the Coast.

After 10 years here, I know which beaches glow the best at sunset, where the tide pools emerge, and exactly when the fog rolls in like silk. This isn’t just where I work, it’s where I create art from your most precious moments.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
