milestones

  • These sessions are offered to babies who are three through twelve months of age. Parents are welcome to opt for bare skin or choose an outfit from our studio collection. The lifestyle session is less posed & allows Nicole to capture your baby more naturally…simply allowing them to play & explore.

Hi I’m Nicole, a West Michigan newborn, milestone, & family photographer based in Rockford, MI. Since 2012, I’ve been capturing real, heartfelt moments in a way that feels relaxed, natural, & meaningful. From sleepy newborns in my cozy Rockford studio to golden hour family sessions in grassy fields around Grand Rapids, I photograph stories that reflect your life…not just a pose. Whether it’s a laid back lifestyle newborn session, a milestone update, or playful outdoor family portraits, I specialize in capturing connection over perfection.

I serve families across Rockford, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Cedar Springs, Jenison, & surrounding areas, but have been honored to work with clients who travel from all over Michigan & even other parts of the country.

If you’re searching for a Grand Rapids photographer who will make the experience easy, enjoyable, & beautifully personal from start to finish, you’re in the right place.

My goal isn’t just to take pictures…it’s to tell your story.
