PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SACRAMENTO
Hi, I'm Nicola! Pronounced 'Nic-uh-la'.
I was born in South Africa, grew up in England, and am now based in Sacramento! (Unfortunately, there's no accent to be found unless I am on the phone with my parents or the drinks have been flowwwin')
I love music that makes me feel things… Bon Iver, Angus & Julia Stone, The XX, just to name a few. I can also be found editing to some cheesy country songs and can rap along to almost any Biggie Smalls song. Humans are complex and amazing and I don’t think we can ever restrict ourselves to being one type of thing, certainly not one type of music genre. If I like a song I listen to it over and over and over again until I can’t stand it. Super cool habit.
I love the elements that make up a wedding; from the nervous jitters of getting ready, dreams becoming reality when you finally see your love at the altar, to breaking it down on the dance-floor to your favorite song, surrounded by the people you love the most.
I’m very sneaky in the way that I work. I will give direction when needed, but I mostly like to step back and let the moments unfold. I'll be with you every step of the way and when you get your photos back you'll be like what? how? when? ;)

Fall is a season that brings warmth, beautiful colors, and the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones. I had the joy of photographing this sweet family during their fall mini shoot in Pleasanton. With autumn’s golden glow, the beautiful backdrop of fall foliage, and little Hudson’s infectious smile, it was an afternoon full of love, laughter, and sweet moments.
