About

I.LOVE.my.job! Photography is my calling and absolute passion. I can truly say there’s no other career I’d rather have and I feel like the luckiest girl to be able to document moments that will be viewed from generation to generation, to create ART.

You can expect personable, quality service when hiring CBN. It’s an honor to be able to provide guidance along the planning process and to be a person to turn to for advice on the big day. I want to be there that day not only as your photographer, but as a friend. I care so much about every couple and do everything with their best interest in mind..

It’s important to know that I am not a big fan of camera aware photos. You will get your traditional family formals and some looking at the camera smiling shots during portraits, but I favor photos that look more natural. I pose all of the portraits, but I do so in a manner that looks more candid. Aside from the portrait time of the day, everything else is shot with a photojournalist approach. I strive to capture true emotion & personalities which shine through best when you aren’t paying attention to a camera in the room. My priority is to document the emotion, love, & beauty of the day along with all those little details so that nothing is left to fading memories.

My style is adventurous and romantic. I avoid cheesy and the props/posing that’s popular on Pinterest.

With Photography, the possibilities are endless. I enthusiastically go into every shoot & look forward to creating something unique. I’m extremely passionate about my work and I hope that love shines through in your photos!

Absolutely Perfect Photos

Nicole was an exceptional professional from start to finish- from the initial phone call to discuss options and expectations to her questionnaire to understand family dynamics and what groupings we hoped to get. She was incredibly organized, patient (with 6 little kids!), and took the lead in giving directions so our family photos felt efficient but not rushed. Nicole arrived as I was finishing getting ready and she got right to it to take photos of details , which allowed me to relax and soak up every moment. My FIL described her as a hummingbird because she was everywhere taking photos of everything while almost being unnoticed. She is so kind and makes you feel comfortable. There was also a small mishap with my name spelled wrong on one of our signs and Nicole was able to photoshop it and you would never be able to tell. The best decision we made to have the most perfect photos from our day!

Nicole is the absolute BEST!

Nicole photographed my legal wedding ceremony (during Covid) and then came all the way to HAWAII to shoot my big wedding celebration a year later! She is now about to shoot my maternity photo's and I couldn't be more excited. Nicole is so unbelievably professional, caring, genuine and funny! All of my photo's are absolutely stunning beyond words and I will treasure them forever. Nicole goes above and BEYOND for her clients to make sure captures the perfect and most beautiful moments in their lives, in the most flattering way. Nicole is just such a lovely and positive person and a skilled photographer and choosing her will be the best decision you ever make!!!

Beyond all expectations!

There is no one who puts as much passion into their work as Nicole. She truly cares about every angle and capturing every experience. She is exceptional as what she does. When I hired Nicole it was for our wedding the photos were so perfect that we hired her again for our maternity shoot then again for our new baby shoot. Every shoot exceeded expectations. She will make you look good no matter what day you are having. I believe she cane to my house within two weeks of delivering my baby and the photos were fabulous! I have worked with many other photographers before and let me tell you NO ONE holds a candle to the type of work she does. Nicole is destined for greatness!

I have worked with Nicole on multiple occasions. She has supplied me with tons of images for my portfolio and her images are my favorite. She is a true talent. I have noticed that every wedding she does is tailored to the couple she is photographing which shows how creative she is. Not only is she talented at taking pictures, but she is a joy to work with too. Friendly, polite, and fun, I would recommend her to every future bride I have.
