Playful, elegant portraits of pets & people
in Philadelphia, the Mid-Atlantic, and beyond
Hi, I'm Nicole! My passion is helping you celebrate those you love with gorgeous custom photographs and artwork.
When someone asks, "What does your dog look like?" or "How old is your daughter now?" I want you to be able to proudly show beautiful photos in which they're perfectly captured in their true colors with eyes lit up and personalities shining through!
I offer distraction-free studio portraits on seamless paper or muslin, outdoor shoots at nearby parks or a location of your choice, and adventure sessions in the historic Wissahickon Valley Park just 15 minutes from my studio.
We’ll make a plan ahead of time so on your session day you can just be present and enjoy yourself.
Me with my assistants, border collies Mint and Squeeze!
Crawling around on my belly with a camera for nearly 20 years, I've captured the personalities of literally thousands of dogs and other pets and the wide spectrum of people who love them. I bring a calm, playful energy along with serious focus on the little details that make a big difference.
My own dogs are animal actors who've appeared in commercials and TV shows — sometimes with me dressed as a police officer or FBI agent! They're also dog agility competitors: I've trained and handled a standard poodle, Belgian tervuren, and border collie to AKC, USDAA, and UKI agility champion titles.
Curious about what we can create together by combining my experience with pets, cameras, and chaos with your own favorite beings? Let's touch base today about your private session.

"Nicole is the absolute best for any pictures you need. Her professionalism and kindness are only exceeded by her artistry and talent.
