They all walked in with some version of the same thought: "I don't know if this is for someone like me."
They were wrong. Every single one of them. And they'll tell you so themselves.
This page exists because I don't want you to take my word for it. Take theirs.
Too nervous. Wrong body. Wrong time. Here's what happened when they showed up anyway.
Having gone through a double mastectomy and 13 surgeries, I carry a body that is different. For the first time in so long, I didn't feel self-conscious. I felt seen, valued, and worthy. She gave me back a part of myself I thought I had lost.
Yes, she's on the pricier side. But she absolutely knows her worth and delivers every bit of it. For the first time I saw myself in a soft, feminine, curvy light — and it honestly took my breath away. This experience is a gift that lasts long after the shoot.
I'm an awkward girlie and it shows in every photo I take. Me, strike a remotely sexy pose? Never!! Nicole's got you. I felt free. Free to relax. Free to be me. The studio feels comfortable, almost like home. BOOK THE SESSION!!!
She had me doing affirmations daily for two weeks before my session. I was not expecting that level of care. I genuinely feel a perspective shift. Nicole is worth every single penny of the investment.
Nicole was able to capture something in me that I'm not sure I've ever seen in myself. My confidence did a complete 180. Seeing all of my photos was a whirlwind. She captured something in me that I am so grateful for.
She made me love my body. For the first time in years, I felt more empowered than I have in a long time.

Working with Nicole is always an absolute dream. She has this beautiful way of lifting you up and creating a space where you feel completely comfortable being yourself. It's empowering, healing, and unforgettable.
From the beginning, the entire process was organized, professional, and very easy to follow. Nicole is very welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. But choosing your photos are BY FAR the hardest part, you'll want to keep them all.
She will make you feel comfortable no matter your size, age, or insecurities. She aims to highlight all things beautiful about you. Not only will you get a great shoot, but a great friend.
The poses felt strange in the moment, but the photos are everything. Nicole really knows how to make a person love all aspects of their body. I'm already planning my next shoot for my 30th birthday.
I felt super comfortable and beautiful. I felt beautiful and seen. Thank you Nicole.
Ladies, this is a must. I can't really find the words to describe my experience with Nicole. But trust and believe it was amazing. I still feel like a million dollars after our session.
I love love LOVED everything about my shoot. Nicole made me feel so comfortable from the onset. I'm self conscious but I was so ready and willing to get the best photos. I felt so beautiful and sexy.
The boudoir experience was something new to me, but now it is my new found love. From the time I walked over the threshold to the time I walked out, Nicole made sure I was comfortable. Every flick of her camera produced pure beauty.
Nicole is an outstanding photographer with a creative eye, and her work speaks for itself. When we went through the photos together, I was surprised I felt I looked great in all of them, making it extremely hard to narrow down.
In addition to being a phenomenal photographer, Nicole's customer service is top notch. My photos are amazing and she really made me love my body. She made me feel comfortable and I appreciate all of her hard work.
She made me feel so comfortable throughout the shoot and was amazing at giving direction and posing, which made everything feel easy and natural. The photos came out absolutely stunning. I can't wait to go back again.
My shoot was amazing. She made sure that I felt comfortable and confident. She helped me with an outfit issue and gave me recommendations for makeup artists. Nicole is really amazing and patient. I will be booking with her again.
You are the standard. Not the exception. Not the inspiration. The standard.
