about

Born in the Midwest, Nicole’s interest in photography began at 16, when she picked up a hand-me-down Yashica FX-D 35mm camera, fueled by curiosity and a love of black-and-white portraiture. She continued to explore and refine her craft through photography courses and long hours in the darkroom, working in the photo lab within her university’s journalism and communications department—well before the rise of digital photography.

She graduated with a double major in Spanish Language & Literature and Advertising. A summer studying abroad in Mexico—dragging her camera up mountains and through bustling cities—deepened her love of travel photography and inspiring a lifelong interest in travel, Hispanic cultures, language, and visual storytelling.

She has over 20+ years experience in marketing, branding & event planning—helping organizations define their brands, develop meaningful campaigns and connect with the people they serve.
