About me

 

Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I am a wedding & family photographer based out of American Fork, Utah. I love dreamy lighting, outdoor settings, and capturing love genuinely & candidly.

I married my sweetheart, Adam, in 2014. He is the most supportive husband around & I’m grateful he is mine. Our most recent adventure was to Maui, Hawaii in November 2017 (thank you to Fen’amber Cullimore for these pictures!), and I’m already dreaming of our next destination. I graduated with my Masters of Public Administration in April 2016. I know this degree isn’t directly related to photography, but it taught me so much about myself & what I want out of life. I learned that I love building up others, and I’ve found photography the perfect place to help others see just how beautiful & special they are. While I was getting through all my business & technology related classes, I turned to photography as a creative outlet. Now it has become so much more to me.

A few more things to know about me… I am LDS. My faith is very important to me, and it drives me to be a better version of myself. I was raised in Plano, Texas, which has left me with a “y’all” that occasionally sneaks through. I love Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory caramel apples, seriously this is Adam’s go-to strategy for a quick mood lift. Adam and I are huge nerds – think Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Brandon Sanderson books. All are great topics of conversation for us. I’m a sucker for love stories or anything sappy (“This is Us” makes me cry weekly.) I think this fact particularly fits with being a photographer. I love celebrating the love & happiness of others. And lastly, I love making new friends! Contact me so I can learn more about you!

Adam has stepped so effortlessly into the role of Adam has stepped so effortlessly into the role of father. He is kind, patient, fun, attentive, & loving. He adores our sweet Violet, & I love seeing their special bond. We love you so much! Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers & father figures. ❤️
I’ve taken some time away from my business page I’ve taken some time away from my business page to listen, learn, & reflect. But now I feel the need to make my stance known: Black lives matter. As MJ said, this is not a controversial statement.

I’m ashamed to say I did not understand this movement until recently. I thought to myself, “I don’t treat people of color differently. “All people have worth and value.” “I don’t want to view people for the color of their skin.” My intentions were well meaning, but my privilege clouded me from seeing the injustice around me. I’m sad it took so much evidence for me to see that both white privilege & racism are all too real. As a white woman, I’ve never feared for my life during basic everyday outings, or worried about being unfairly profiled & mistreated by the police. I’ve had my own challenges, but none have ever had to do with the color of my skin, and that is white privilege. The bottom line is ALL lives can’t matter until Black lives matter. So I’m showing up imperfectly & willing to learn to be an ally to the Black community. I am committed to raising Violet & our future babies to respect, support, & lift up our Black brothers and sisters. I have faith we can all do better. ❤️
Oh hey 👋🏼 It’s me & my boo thang. 🔥It’s been a while... Pandemics are hard & my anxiety has been at an all time high. When I get overwhelmed & stressed about multiple things sometimes it can be debilitating. Anyone else? I feel like I should be using this time to grow & create some mega-successful business. But often my motivation is lacking. So I’m just taking things day by day over here, trying to soak up time with Adam & Violet. It’s okay to not be perfect. It’s okay to struggle. It’s okay to not be okay. ✨

In other news, we’re looking into building a house, and I’d love to know about your experience if you built in Utah! 🏡 Who did you build with? How was your experience? What do you wish you had known? Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼
Happy Easter! 💕 I miss all our family we’d no Happy Easter! 💕 I miss all our family we’d normally be celebrating with, but we had fun making memories with just our little family. We took a few photos at home, but of course I couldn’t find my tripod or remote, so we propped my camera on Violet’s high chair and used the 2 second timer. 😂 I know many want to document their families while social distancing, so please let me know if you have any questions I can answer about taking your own family photos! 👇🏼
These days I’m constantly fluctuating between th These days I’m constantly fluctuating between thinking “this is so nice being at home and having nowhere to be; what an easy way I can make a difference” and “I feel sad, isolated, lonely, & unproductive; I miss my friends & family”. Then I’ll feel guilty for struggling at something that seems easy, especially when I think of the sacrifices of our doctors, nurses, teachers, restaurant workers, delivery men, truck drivers, and so many others. But the truth is, social distancing is challenging. I’ve always been more of a homebody, but hanging out with friends and date nights were crucial to my well-being. We’re improvising with FaceTime & nights in, but it’s not the same. I guess all I want to say is if you’re feeling sad while you’re cooped up at home, you’re not alone. Tomorrow is always a new day. ☀️ What are you doing to stay positive during this crazy time?
