The Here & Now
A storytelling family session that celebrates the beautiful chaos, heartfelt connections, and timeless moments that define your family.
Not just a photo session—a legacy in motion.
This is for families who want more than pretty pictures.
You want truth. Emotion. Joy, comfort, connection—the good stuff.
No stiff poses. No awkward “say cheese.”
Just you, being you—with all the laughter, the wildness, the love.
These sessions are relaxed and real. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly? You just show up, love on your people, and I’ll capture the magic.
Ready to celebrate your kids exactly as they are? Perfect.
The most beautiful images happen when kids are free to be themselves. That means jumping, snuggling, exploring, and occasionally giving me a cheeky side-eye.
I'm here for the twirls, the tug-of-war cuddles, the wild giggles mid-run. That's where the magic lives.
So take a deep breath and lean in.
The beauty is already radiating from your family—I'm just here to capture it in all its glory.
Why it's incredible …
Because this chapter you're living right now? It's pure gold.
The noise, the joy, the way their hand fits perfectly in yours—it's evolving. And beautifully.
Let's celebrate it.
You’re my people if…
You know the best moments are the unscripted ones— muddy feet, messy hair and giggling adventures.
Your kids are bursting with personality, energy, and spirit and you absolutely love them for it!
You want photos that make you feel everything rather than look like everyone else's curated Instagram feed.
You're excited about a session that feels more like an adventure than a formal affair.
You want to treasure the connection AND the joyful whirlwind—because that's your real, vibrant life.
You're ready to kick off your shoes, embrace your people, and live fully in the moment.
“Nicole is amazing at what she does. Her experience working with kids makes her the perfect photographer for families with children.
She’s patient, understanding and can make any situation work. I’m looking forward to having more family shoots done in the future to capture each year with my children; I want to make it a tradition now; and I know with Nicole I will be in safe hands.”

With years of experience and a joyful, intuitive approach, I'll be your creative partner every step of the way. You get to show up as yourselves, take a deep breath, and trust the process.
Most families leave our session saying, "That was the best time we've had together in ages."
And when you see your images? You'll feel seen, celebrated, and absolutely thrilled you embraced this moment.
Every session includes personalised guidance before and after, a relaxed experience in a location that feels authentic to your family, and timeless edits in my signature warm and earthy style.
The only choice? How much of your beautiful story you want to preserve.
