I’m Nikole, and I’m convinced that I have the best job in the world! From love stories, to growing families, to graduating seniors, I get to meet and work with the most amazing people and capture once-in-a-lifetime moments! Helping people relax in front of the camera is my specialty, and I firmly believe that everyone has a little bit of model in them.

When I’m not dressed up and behind a camera, I’m probably wearing my favorite comfy pants and editing all the pretty images! My free time is often spent outdoors and with family or friends. Though sometimes I just need a quiet space with a book and a cup of tea. Do you know what an ambivert is? That is absolutely me.

I currently live in Minnesota, near the farm that I grew up on, but my nomadic heart dreams of being a camper dweller and photographing my way around the nation.

Hello there!

Old classics are my favorite (if they smell a little musty it's even better).

a great book

Breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, pies, you name it! Baking is my therapy.

I live in Minnesota because I truly love winter.

Frosty Mornings

Often with no destination.  
I just take my camera and
drive with the windows down.

Sunset drives

If I haven't been there, I want to go.

travel

adventures

Exploring new places, meeting new people, eating new foods; it all makes my soul come alive!

Wintertime

I adore winter! Fresh snow makes my heart sing, and frosty mornings are as magical as it gets.

new notebooks

Oh the possibilities in those beautiful crisp pages!

When I was nine I was going to own a bakery. Still today, I love anything that involves flour and an oven!

My Favorites


When I was sixteen my dad gave me a camera that had been discarded by someone in his company. It was on the verge of falling apart and before too long I’d had to repair it in true farm-girl fashion; using toothpicks and duck tape!

I photographed everything with that camera. I took it on our family vacations, photographed my brothers and anyone who would let me take their picture (or who I could persuade to let me), and read everything about photography that I could get my hands on.

With pictures taken by that sad little duck taped camera I won a local photography competition and had the first thought of pursuing photography as a career. 

That was a long time ago, and I assure you that my gear now is much higher quality and completely free of duck tape; but the excitement I have for creating beautiful images and documenting once-in-a-lifetime moments is no different!
