Hi there-I’m Nicole! I’ve been a photographer since 2012 & a mama even longer. I’ve had four incredible children (my oldest son passed away in 2011 when he was three years old). You’re welcome to click here to read more about that experience & how it shaped both my life & my journey into photography.

My love for children & experience with newborns runs deep. This isn’t just a job…it’s truly who I am.

My oldest daughter is autistic & raising her has taught me patience, empathy, & how to meet kids exactly where they’re at. That calm, compassionate energy is something I bring into every session…especially when working with children who have special needs or just need a little extra time & care. After more than a decade behind the camera, I’ve worked with so many unique little personalities & pride myself on creating an experience where every child feels seen, safe, & celebrated.

Besides spending time with my family, this photography job is, quite literally, my favorite thing to do (how lucky am I?!). When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll usually find me decorating a new space, squeezing in a gym session, or baking something sweet…because life’s all about balance, right?

When you book with Nicole Renee Photography, you’re choosing someone who sees your life through the lens of motherhood. Photography didn’t just happen to me…it became a way to hold onto the moments that matter most. It’s changed my life, & I’d be honored to help preserve a little piece of yours.
