Hi I’m Nicole, a West Michigan newborn, milestone, & family photographer based in Rockford, MI. Since 2012, I’ve been capturing real, heartfelt moments in a way that feels relaxed, natural, & meaningful. From sleepy newborns in my cozy Rockford studio to golden hour family sessions in grassy fields around Grand Rapids, I photograph stories that reflect your life…not just a pose. Whether it’s a laid back lifestyle newborn session, a milestone update, or playful outdoor family portraits, I specialize in capturing connection over perfection.

I serve families across Rockford, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Cedar Springs, Jenison, & surrounding areas, but have been honored to work with clients who travel from all over Michigan & even other parts of the country.

If you’re searching for a Grand Rapids photographer who will make the experience easy, enjoyable, & beautifully personal from start to finish, you’re in the right place.

My goal isn’t just to take pictures…it’s to tell your story.
