Hello! I'm Nicole! I'm a self taught photographer based out of Moreno Valley, CA. I am also a full time Nursing student. In the process of getting my BSN. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Erich, for 14 years. We have 4 amazing children. Riyan (pronounced just like Ryan) who is also Autistic, Timothy and Taylor (Yes i have twins! They are boy/girl fraternal twins), and Reese (even though my favorite candy is Reese's peanut butter cups, we didn't name her that because of it). As you can tell, its always an adventure with having 4 kids at home but something I wouldn't change for the world. If I am not out photographing such amazing clients, we are now normally at the ball field. All 4 kids play baseball/softball so we are always at a game or practice. :)

Whats in my bag?

my Canon R6 Mirrorless camera,

5D Mark IV,

5D Mark III cameras

35, 50, 100 macro, 24-70 and 70-200 lens,

flashes for off camera flash and lighting needs,

usually some candy or snacks of some sort,

and of course water. 

I love taking on new adventures, creating and capturing moments that not only are timeless but irreplaceable.  A photograph will always be treasured,. Something we hold onto our entire lives and eventually pass down to our children and so forth. Photographs allows us reminisce of moments in which we can easily forget,  and emotions in which we felt while they were taken. With births and weddings, the time passes by so quickly, some in which we can't remember what all happened throughout the day and night. With family sessions its not only amazing to look back and see how small your babies once were, but it allows you to be proud of your family because of all the growing they have done. 

 Everyday I have to remind my self that my kids will only be little this once, and with each passing moment I need to stop and capture all that they do, because one day they will be out on their own and I will miss all the special things we did together as a family.
