Where Passion Meets Artistry Behind the Lens

Hey, I’m Nicole! I’m a local photographer based in Yeppoon, QLD, and a full-time mama raising two beautiful children, Leo and Primrose. They’re my world, my inspiration, and the reason I do what I do.

Photography is my art. I love creating, and I’m passionate about capturing real, honest moments. There’s something so special about documenting love and connection—the little in-between moments that tell a story. My approach to photography is all about capturing you as you are. Everyone has a unique story, and my goal is to tell yours in a way that feels natural and beautiful. No stiff, overly posed shots—just the real stuff.

That being said, I need you to meet me halfway. If you show up to your session feeling distracted or disconnected, I can’t create magic on my own. What you put in is what you’ll get out. But don’t stress—I’ll guide you every step of the way. I want you to relax, be yourself, and enjoy the experience, rather than feeling like it’s something you have to get through.

One thing I do ask is that you trust my style. I pour my heart into both the session and the editing process, which is hugely time-consuming. My pricing reflects the care, passion, and artistry that goes into every image. These are your memories, and I hope they feel like an investment—one you’ll cherish for years to come.

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be your photographer—I want to be someone who truly cares about your experience. If all of this sounds like what you're looking for, let’s make it happen.

See Pricing

Each one of my packages varies in how many images are included. Obviously, the more time we have together, the more photos I'm going to take but I promise I'll always include plenty of images of everything I capture. I don't really like to give a cutoff number as I don't believe in withholding any images from you. These are your memories, and I promise to capture more than enough to remember this time in your lives.

Nope. Personally I think watermarks and encryptions take away from an image, and I much prefer the focus being on you. I do outline in my contract though that photo credit is given for posts and shares on social media.

Nah, I don't give RAWS. Editing is half the process that I put into creating your photos and without this important step, they would only be halfway there, but I promise I won't leave out any of the good ones!

I require a 20% deposit at time of booking to hold your date, and the remaining 80% is due 1 week prior to shoot date, and 1 month prior to wedding date. I accept direct bank deposits and cash.

I'm not one to alter someone's appearance to change they way they would normally look. I want you to feel beautiful in your own skin. I'lll clear up blemishes and edit out distractions, but will leave the features that make you, you.

Basically, I just want you to wear something comfortable and stick with your own style. If you normally wouldn't wear heels, then probably best to leave them at home and stick with your trusty flats instead. Earthy/neutral tones are a safe option, but just send me a message prior to our session and I can help choose outfits based on the location we decide to shoot at.

If you've already put down a deposit for a date and then have to move/cancel it, the deposit is non-refundable and a new deposit will have to be made in order to secure your new date. I don't do this to try get extra money from you, but because this is my work and passion, and I'm relying on that income to pay bills and support my family.

A little bit of drizzle? We can handle that. Essentially, if the weather is making it either dangerous for us and my gear, or it's not comfortable to shoot in, then we can either reschedule, or look at an indoor option if rescheduling is just not an option. However, I love to shoot in all different scenarios, and sometimes a little bit of wind and rain can make your photos even more fun and unique. It's one of those things that we can decide closer to, or on the day.

I'm new to the area so I'm still sussing out different spots for photos, but with the beach and State Forest nearby, the possibilities really are endless! If you have suggestions on where we should go, or a place you absolutely love then please tell me! Sometimes a location can give your photos even more meaning. If you're not sure though, I'll definitely help pick a perfect spot.

Turnaround times can vary because each package is different, but generally sessions take me around 2-6 weeks and weddings can be 8-12 weeks.

As I mentioned earlier, editing is half the process that goes into bringing your photos to life, and as a result this part takes time. I don't rush my work, and I want to give you the best product possible. I promise they'll be worth the wait!

Any time, really. I'd obviously prefer some sunlight, but I can shoot pretty much any time of the day. It really depends on the look you are going for. Also, keeping in mind the weather - like, if it's a 35+ degree day and you're not getting photos in water, then it would be best to do our session earlier or later when it's cooler.

Yes I can most certainly provide a custom quote. All you need to do is send me an email with as much information as possible and details about how you require my services with an outlined time frame. Also, happy to answer any questions you may have so please send them through. Please keep in mind that I don't offer mini sessions or discounts unless advertised, and elopement & weddings start from $1800/$2000.

I am not big on the traditional poses, but will always do my best to direct you so we can capture those perfectly imperfect and candid moments. I want to capture your authentic love for each other so that when you look back on your photos, you will feel those tingly, happy feelings all over again. If this all sounds great to you, then I'd stoked to work together!

It's simple really, I do this so that we are both committed to one another. It creates trust and builds anticipation for the magic that's about to take place. My business is like one of my babies, and so it's important for me to have safety measures in place, because just like everyone I rely on this income to support my family and pay the bills.

Why Trust Me with Your Memories?

Photography is so much more than just snapping pretty pictures — it’s about capturing the real, messy, beautiful moments that make life yours. I’m all about creating a relaxed and fun experience where you can be yourselves, so we can capture those fleeting moments that truly matter.

Whether it’s a maternity session, your sweet newborn’s first days earth-side, or a family session full of laughter and love, I’m here to make you feel comfortable and seen. No awkward poses, no forced smiles — just you, your people, and the connections that make your story unique.

I care deeply about what I do, and I feel incredibly grateful to be invited into your lives to document these special moments. It's more than just delivering photos — it’s about creating memories that you’ll look back on for years to come. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re choosing someone who will celebrate your story with you, cry happy tears with you, and capture it all exactly as it feels.

Let’s create something you’ll hold close forever.
