I'd like to take a moment and introduce myself and explain to you how I started my business in photography. My name is Nicole and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I'm the only girl with 8 brothers. I have a wonderful young man in my life who was born in 2004 on Thanksgiving. Growing up I always had a camera on hand, first with the disposable cameras, then polaroid, onto point and shoot, until then I finally decided to save enough money to purchase my first professional camera. At every family gathering I was always the one taking pictures of the family and even positioning them. My family thought it was so funny how serious I was when it came to taking pictures. They came up with the name "paparazzi." Anytime I came around I would hear, "oh no the paparazzi is here! Get your camera faces on!" HAHA One day my brother pulled me aside and said, " sis I think it's time you try this professionally and make some money!" I thought he was crazy, I doubted my work and sometimes still do now. There is always room for improvement.  Anyways, that same brother asked me to do their family pictures, so because I'm the good sister I am, I did! After I did a little editing to them, I posted them online. To my surprise people started asking them who did their photos because they looked amazing. After that people started booking shoots with me and from there it kind of kept spreading and spreading. Now 6 years later I'm here! Doing all kinds of shoots and events all over Austin! I truly have to thank all my clients so far because my business was built through word of mouth and I would not be where I'm at without them :) A HUGE thank you to my brother for believing in me and giving me the courage to start this business. Here are a couple of photos of my first photo-shoot with my brother and his family.....
