Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still
Your special day should go beyond posed or staged images as the goal is to focus on the real, raw and vulnerable interactions between you and your loved one. My photography has an ability to take an instant out of time, a true moment, and turn it into something tangible that you can look at years down the road and re-live all over again.
With me by your side, you’re able to authentically be yourselves and feel on top of the world while doing it.
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED
“Nichole perfectly encapsulates something deeper, an essence, a meaning, something viseral and emotive, something real and complete in all of her photos. She is the difference between taking nice-looking pictures and perfectly capturing moments of action, emotion, and meaning. We are utterly obsessed with her. Her vision, her depth, her passion but mostly her love. Her love for photography, her love for her clients, her love for sunrises and sunsets. This is what she pours into every single shutter press.”

Hi! I'm Nichole
I’m the CrAzY behind both my camera and Mates of Soul Collective! My passion for photography is rooted around the idea that people don’t place enough importance on the time we have here on earth. I know it sounds cliche, but life is short! Maybe it’s the photographer in me but too many candid, in-the-moment, beautiful memories go unseen. Call it a superpower, and nothing lights me up more than capturing the big moments, but it's the overlooked, in-between-the-line ones that make me screech with giddiness and jump up and down!
Mates of Soul’s mission is to capture the magic that’s happening in your life. Whether it's the hysterical laughter with your best friend, the way you look into your partner’s eyes, the way the sunset reflects onto your skin, the sound of the birds chirping or the smell of the ocean from the beach-these are the memories you should want to bottle up and keep for a lifetime — and that’s where I come in. What once started as an hobby-like obsession has turned into a full blown love-fulfilling business and I can’t wait for you to be apart of it with me.

Alyssa and Alex
“Nichole is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable shortly after meeting her. She’s very accommodating when it comes to time and place for pictures. It’s very hard to get my whole family together and Nichole made sure she was available on one of the only days my family could get together. My husband and I also did pictures with Nichole for our Christmas cards this year. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. I had so many great pictures to chose from for our card.”
