Why an engagement session in the studio is the best location.

August 28, 2015 by Nicole Caldwell

When you hear “studio”, you think “stuffy,” but NOT true. Studio is elegant, classy and will remain timeless. No need to complicate things by adding extra props like balloons, your initials, etc, which will seem dated in a few years.. Where should we go? Beach? Park? ugh, decision fatigue. Yes, the beach is beautiful, but the engagement session is about the two of YOU, not the landscape. 3. We can control the environment. The studio is air conditioned. . No […]

Rockland Halo-Chrome Toner

April 10, 2015 by Nicole Caldwell

Recently experimented with Rockland Halochrome toner on Ilford Multigrade ART 300 paper. Inspired by my recent tintype experiments, I was excited about the brushed metal look. According to the description: Halo-Chrome is Rockland’s unique toner that transforms black and white prints into pure metallic silver by fusing together the colloidal silver grains that make a black and white print into gleaming solid silver. Halo-Chrome toner can be used with all RC and fiber-base papers. On glossy papers, it gives a mirror-finish, and on matte […]

Testimonials

“Nicole has an incredible talent, a unique eye, and just one of the best personalities! Our wedding shots were absolutely perfect, which makes it so darn hard to pick a few that we liked because we honestly LOVED them all!! We were so fortunate that we were referred to her, that she was willing to travel for our wedding, and that we seriously don’t have one bad photo from the wedding!! She even got some INCREDIBLE shots of us underwater after the wedding. We enjoyed working with Nicole and we know we have a family photographer, and friend, for life! <3"

Lindsay- Destination Wedding Greece

I am breathless! You truly are the most creative and talented photographer and I am so fortunate to have had you capture my special day. The engagements, boudoir and wedding shots have all far exceeded my expectations.

Monica -Destination Wedding Maui

“Nicole is INCREDIBLE. I worked with her when I was a wedding coordinator at a venue in Laguna Beach. She was always so professional, easy to work with and so creative. When I got engaged, we reconnected and she was the perfect choice for our special day. She did an incredible engagement shoot that we are crazy about, and have the most amazing pictures that captured our all time favorite memory because of her special eye. If you want unique style, easy to work with photographer, she is ABSOLUTELY the perfect pick. She knows exactly what she is doing and makes you feel totally comfortable just being yourself. Thank you so much Nicole! We love you!”

Cayla- Destination Wedding Portland

“It all started with our engagement photos and from then on we have used Nicole for everything: boudoir, destination wedding in Barbados, and family session. Her photography is more than a generic session and her artistry is evident in every photo she creates!!!”

Erica- Destination Wedding Barbados

I booked Nicole for a boudoir shoot (something I’ve never done before), I of course felt slightly nervous as it is something out of my comfort zone. Upon arrival at the studio, I immediately felt at ease. As we started the shoot Nicole made me feel so comfortable and confident. I drove all the way from Vegas just to shoot with her and it was well worth it!!
