A Fresh Approach to Pet and Animal Photography

Nicole’s vision is to create a special portrait of your pet or animal that is not just a photograph.  She spends time developing the picture into something special you will not find anywhere else.  

Taking creative influences from top wedding photographers she transforms her work into something completely different.  So whether you want a portrait of your animal standing, sitting, lying down, relaxing or action shots showing the animal’s full athletic abilities, Nicole will be there to capture the moment and produce a beautiful, one off image of your beloved animal for you.  

Animals have always been part of my life.  From as early as I can remember my family has always had at least one dog or cat.  I was about 13 when I was given my first horse.  That was one of the most memorable days in my life.  Her name was Crackers, a bay first-cross Quarter Horse.

Into adulthood my love of animals continued, with some very interesting, loyal, unforgettable characters sharing their four-legged lives with me.  My life is now shared with an amazing dog named Diesel and one of the sweetest Thoroughbreds ever, Chev.  I am also owned by a cat that just tolerates us humans.

Aside from these fabulous creatures are my two wonderful kids who are growing rather quickly and always amazing me with their insight.  And then there is my husband who simply doesn’t understand why I spend so much time on the computer with photos.  (I really love experimenting with many different artistic photo editing techniques).  But he gives me all the support and encouragement to follow a career I love.

Then there is photography.  I have always had a creative/artistic gene that morphed into photography about 10 years ago.  Over the last 3 years I decided to merge my love of photography with animals and start this new venture in my life.  And I absolutely love it.  I get to meet the most friendly, passionate and committed animal lovers.  And I get so excited about creating stunning images for the many people obsessed with their fur-kids.

I hope you enjoy browsing my website and feel free to contact me to book your photo session with your beloved furry friend.
