Maui Portrait + Lifestyle photography

 My passion for photography is rooted in connection, light, and emotion. I love showing people just how incredibly beautiful and inspiring they are—through my eyes and through my lens. I want your session to feel effortless and fun, because my favorite images (and favorite memories) always bloom in the moments when we forget the camera or anyone else is there, and simply let our inner joy and love shine through.

 Photography is so much more than pictures. It’s a keepsake of the soul, a visual memory, a way to travel back in time and soak up the way your heart felt during a chapter of life you never want to forget. From elopements on wild coastlines to intimate maternity sessions bathed in golden light, my goal is to create an artistic time capsule that feels alive, timeless, and truly you. Whether you’re laughing barefoot in the sand or breathing in the present, wrapped in each other’s arms, I want your photographs to remind you of the beauty that already lives inside you.

Nicole made our Maui maternity photos such a highlight of our trip! She guided us perfectly, made me feel confident and beautiful, and captured the most gorgeous sunset shots. We’ll cherish these forever!

Taking the photos was honestly effortless and fun- my husband doesn't typically enjoy photoshoots and he was raving about how natural and easy it was thanks to Nicole!

Our maternity pictures turned out stunning—every single one is amazing! Honestly, I don’t think even my wedding photos made me smile this much. I would highly recommend Nicole for a fantastic photoshoot in Maui!

Meet Nicole

I’m a Maui-born and raised photographer dedicated to capturing memories through light, color, and emotion. My sessions are about connection, play, and the magic of being fully present.

I’ve always been endlessly inspired by nature—the glow of golden sunlight dancing across the ocean, the shifting blues of the sea, the textures of trees, flowers, and sand. I’m forever grateful to witness the many ways love shows up in the world: in laughter and play, in tenderness and sweetness, in the sparkle of joy, and in the quiet depth of true understanding.

Oh hey there,

I'm Nicole
