capturing the magic of your family time on martha's vineyard
Appreciation
Nicole is absolutely amazing. She is an incredibly talented photographer. Every summer our time spent being captured in Nicole's amazing photographs has become tradition. She is great with our children and she creates and finds the sweetest moments for our family. Her photos are framed all over our home, preserving the memories of our special time on the Vineyard. As soon as we book our ferry to the Vineyard we book our appointment with Nicole. She has become a part of our family, and we are so thankful for everything she has done to freeze moments in time of the love we share. Thank you for everything, Nicole, see you this summer on the Vineyard! - Melissa M.
We received the photo gallery and I have to say they are some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. You’re an amazing photographer. I can’t thank you enough for capturing our family, thank you, - Judy S
Nicole! I’m in tears. Love love love! So grateful for what you could capture with our family. Perfectly imperfect. Just like our family. The little funny faces, the wind in our hair- it’s just perfect. Henry saying cheese. You put us all at ease, let us just have fun and be in the moment on the beach. We’re not that perfect, photogenic family. But you captured these natural shots of us having fun and loving the beach, and they came out better than we could have ever expected. You are truly gifted, and we’re so grateful

Nicole, our photo shoot with you was wonderful! We had a large group comprised of three generations and it could have been a nightmare, but you made it easy, relaxed and fun. As I said to you in my email that same evening, you made it so fun for us that I almost didn't care what the photos looked like! Most importantly, the photos are beautiful and will be treasured by our family. - Polly O.
LOOK NO FURTHER!! Our family has been vacationing on Martha's Vineyard for years. We've never taken the time to get professional pictures done. Now I'm wishing we could turn back time. Nicole is gifted in her craft and wowed us from the moment the session started. She knew all of our names (somehow even knew our nicknames). It felt like she was part of our family...in fact, we now consider her family! She listened to our wants and needs and made the whole experience fun. We got the pictures back quickly and couldn't find one that we didn't like. Nicole, you exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful for your passion! We'll see you again...all 12 of us! - Katie P.
Nicole is magic! She has been photographing my family for over 19 years and has actually become a dear friend! She has a great eye, a sense of humor, and our photos are the envy of our holiday card list! - Julie M.
Best photographer we've ever worked with! Nicole has a magic way of capturing the true spirit of our family in her photographs. We've loved not only the photos, but also the photo shoots themselves. Nicole knows how to bring out the best in us and has been able to do it from our overtired toddler days to the cranky teenager stage to today's 20-something "childen". She has also been able to capture our much-beloved dogs at their best. We have our portraits all over our house and they always make me smile. I highly recommend Nicole. The quality of her work and her natural way of making the experience so enjoyable are truly remarkable. = Laurie P.
They are soooooooo pretty Nicole!!! We will enjoy them all for sure and my husband is still smiling and laughing hahahahahaha. We had a wonderful anniversary and you made it the most special for us!!!!! Such a wonderful soul you are and you made it so much fun!! :) - Veronica M.
Thanks for a great experience with the family portraits! You made us all feel at ease so we could be ourselves--and so you were able to capture the essence of our family and the joy in being in our "happy place" on South Beach! We appreciate your talent and your professionalism. Your ability to compose the perfect images with lighting, scenery and subjects is superior! Our family photos are exactly what we wanted, and they will be treasured for a lifetime. We would highly recommend you to anyone! - Vivian M.
About me
sense of spirit - sense of humor - sense of style
People love photographs, but most of us don’t enjoy getting our photos taken. 25 wonderful years of experience, a sense of humor and my own feelings of not liking being photographed (hence a favorite casual shot of me here with my husband's hand on my shoulder) make it possible for me to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My favorite things to hear after a shoot as I pack up my equipment are "That was fun!" and "That was easy!" The biggest compliment is when portrait customers return year after year for another portrait and wedding couples return years later with their kids. I specialize in portraits of all types - family, couples, groups, headshots - as well as interiors and other projects.

I have been a portrait and wedding photographer on Martha’s Vineyard for 25 years. Although I retired from photographing large weddings in 2018, I am enjoying environmental portrait sessions more than ever. I studied photography at Smith College and worked in the Photography Department at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC before moving to the Vineyard. My fascination as a child with our family photo albums is what inspired me to become a photographer. Preserving the particular moment in time and giving it back to you for posterity is my passion: it is the truest definition of "making memories". I am pleased that my clients enjoy the experience of our session and that they love their photographs. Your family is one-of-a-kind and I try to capture the most "you" you during your session so that when you look at your photos years later you’ll say, "That's not just how we looked, that's how we felt."
​
I look forward to sharing an enjoyable and memorable experience with you.
