Meet Me!

Hi!  I'm Nicole!

I get asked to describe my "style" in a nutshell sometimes- so here ya go.  REAL.  I like to capture personality rather than poses.  I wanna capture emotion rather than perfection.  I want you to look at the pictures and see the real you.  The way you or  your family is in real life.  Not some neatly pressed pasted on smiles group picture.  I LOVE pictures where everyone is just oozing with personality...  It's kinda my favorite thing.  :)


But as for me...
Hmmm- what should I tell you about myself?...

I'm a wife to the most amazing man!  

I'm a mom to 5 crazy cute children!  

But me- let me tell you a list of things I LOVE!!

Laughter
Photography
candy (PB M&M's, wildberry Skittles, raspberry choc sticks... to name a few)
blasting the radio and having a dance party in my kitchen with my kids
date nights with the hubs
curling up with a good book
giggling in bed with my hubby and all 5 kids on sat mornings
Newport Beach, CA
good friends and girls nights out
the smell of rain in the summertime
...among other things...

I'm easygoing, fairly sarcastic, and fun-loving.  I have no idea what my favorite color is.  I love to make new friends and meet new people.  I hate to clean.  I love to cook but mostly because I love to eat.  I can be bribed with food.

I got my first "nice" camera for Christmas in 2007.  I wanted to take better pictures of my kids.  From there my love of taking pictures blossomed.  I took a basic class at a local college and self taught myself from the internet and a fun workshop.  And to recap- I love to capture emotion in a picture.  I LOVE to create a picture that just makes you laugh out loud because you can feel the happiness in that moment.  I love to capture real life emotions and real life people and their personalities.
