Classic Family Studio Portraits and of course, Bubbles.

February 25, 2020 by Nicole Caldwell

“You’re the best Nicole, we absolutely love working with you.” – Nayeli  I LOVE a classic portrait in the studio, simple, no props, well one prop,  The bubble machine.  It seems more fun for the parents than the kiddos, or perhaps I have the most fun, but the point is, it’s fun.  I want the experience to be fun, so when you look back on the photos, you remember that time with your family, how FUN it was.

Go to Australia

November 21, 2019 by Nicole Caldwell

I fell in Love with Australia. I was lucky enough to document a wedding full of love, and able to do a bit of sight seeing too. The Russel Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the historic Rocks located in Circular Quay. There is a small winding hallway, and if you get thirsty, there is a classy pub on the first level. You can see the Opera house, and it’s a nice walk along the waters edge to it. […]
