as a wedding coordinator, i have used nicole for numerous clients weddings for years, and she always exceeds expectations and makes me look great! when i was looking for someone to shoot some family photos, i turned to nicole, and i knew she would do a great job, but i had no idea just how good. the photos we got back knocked my socks off! my 5 year old daughter usually plasters on a huge fake "cheese!" smile when the camera gets turned on her, but nicole quickly got her relaxed, natural, and let the real smiles come out. her setups were creative, artful, and spontaneous. and the product she gave us (DVD slideshow set to music) was an absolutely beautiful keepsake that we were able to easily share with our whole family and will really cherish forever. and her rates are so reasonable that setting up a photoshoot with her for a special event, vacation momento, or just a family keepsake is a no brainer. i highly recommend. thanks nicole! you're the best!
