Central Florida Headshots | Orlando Portrait Photographer

Another super fun session for a high schooler in the Orlando area who needed to update her headshots. We shared a lot of laughs shooting this session together! Haylie, I had so much fun working with you and congratulations on making Encore’s Dream Team!

Senior Photographer | Orlando Senior Session

I love creating timeless images that truly capture my client’s unique personality. I enjoy photographing Seniors because it is such an amazing time in their lives. A fun photo shoot is a great way for them to celebrate and remember this special milestone.

Together we will choose a location and wardrobe that fits their style and vibe. Whether it’s urban, the beach, or out in the woods, we can find a place to shoot that makes them feel great.

Here’s a peek into Maddie’s sweet session in the woods. Wishing her the best of luck on her next adventure - college!

Sessions for seniors are available year round. Get in touch here if you’d like to chat about a Senior Session.

Kids Headshot Photographer | NAP Kids

I love working with children and shooting headshots for child models and actors. An NAP Kids Session is the perfect way to update a portfolio or to have portraits taken just for fun.

Here are some images of Emmie, Age 10 taken for her modeling portfolio:

These sessions are so much fun for both myself and the kids I shoot. If you’re interested in booking an NAP Kids Session get in touch here!

 

Orlando Lifestyle Session | In Home Family Photographer

This family was one of the sweetest families that I’ve photographed. A family with big hearts full of love, laughter, sillies and smiles. I had so much fun during their session at home :)

Oviedo Family Photographer | Lifestyle Session at Home

I started off this family session photographing this sweet pair of sisters.

Sometimes when I’m shooting children it helps to hang out with them for a little bit first. It gives them time to warm up and it allows some time for me to gain their trust. Getting to know the kids really helps their personalities shine through in the photos. It also gives Mom and Dad a few minutes to relax ;)

I love when I get to include furry family members. It’s a lot easier to include pets when we are shooting at home :)

Orlando Documentary Session | Orlando Newborn Photographer

I photographed this family at their Orlando home while Mom was still pregnant with baby #2. Their documentary style session captured their life at home just before they became a family of 4. You can check out some highlights from that session here.

It’s always exciting (and an honor) to photograph a newborn but it’s especially exciting when you’ve already met and fallen in love with the family. Seriously, I loved photographing these guys. They are the sweetest.

We got to catching up and we had a wonderful laidback and casual documentary style session together. It’s freeing going into a session without any expectations.

I truly believe that these real life sessions at home are extra special. This family ended up relocating to Ohio and I am so glad that they captured sweet memories together in their Florida home. They will always have these photos of this special time to cherish and look back on. Real life, real smiles, real love.

Aruba 2018 | Personal

10 years ago, my husband and I spent our honeymoon in Aruba. I still can’t believe that 10 years has passed us by so quickly! We thought it would be fun to go back and visit the island (this time with our kids) as we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary back in December.

Our first trip was an escape to the beach during New York’s cold winter. Going back 10 years later (as Floridians) was a bit different. We’ve definitely been spoiled by the sunshine state and it almost felt silly to have traveled so far away when we have our own paradise so close to home.

I had high hopes of documenting our entire vacation from start to finish but quickly realized that was not only unrealistic but also impossible. Sometimes I’m sad when I miss opportunities to take photos when we are visiting new places and doing new things BUT I’ve learned that it’s always more enjoyable for everyone when I’m present in the moment too!

I relaxed, I had fun, and I only took a few pictures...but I’m okay with that :)

Documentary Family Photographer | Orlando, FL

Right before the New Year I photographed the most amazing family at their home in Orlando. I have been dying to share their Documentary Family Session ever since! It’s always an honor being invited into someone’s home to photograph their family and there is something really special about capturing a family’s day without any posing or direction.

When Mom saw their family’s gallery she wrote: “Nicole, I am in tears!!! (The good kind) these pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! Oh my goodness, I can’t put into words how precious these pics are of our little family and home in this season! You captured our girl and our family so magically, so accurately! I cannot quit staring at them! These will absolutely be treasured, and I feel like you have managed to freeze time for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a beautiful gift you have!” 

Since having a family of my own, I realized that a family’s truth is more meaningful for me to capture than anything that I could style or orchestrate. I love when families trust in the process to just be themselves because it allows me to capture ordinary moments. If you’re anything like me, it’s the ordinary that holds so much significance. Like this Mom said, it’s like freezing time.
