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 family or the drinks have been flowwwin')

I first developed a fascination of cameras at the age of twelve and I'm happy to say that I've come a long way since then. Before starting my company, I competed as a professional wakeboarder and traveled the world for over 10 years. My journey began with sports photography, however, rather than document the action, time and time again I found myself drawn to one thing: the people.  

In 2024 I became a mother and my perspective on life—and on photography—changed forever. Watching my son grow and experiencing the joy of his milestones has deepened my appreciation for the little moments we often take for granted. Freezing these moments in time has never meant more to me and it’s an honor to do the same for you.

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 everything about a wedding—the nerves while getting ready, the moment your dream comes true when you see your love at the altar, sharing a meal with loved ones, hearing their heartfelt toasts and how much you two mean to everyone you love. And then of course ending the night, dancing to your favorite song, surrounded by the people who mean the most to you.

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? ;)

In the meantime, please enjoy this random assortment of photos from my life:
