Hi I’m Nicole. Photographer, mother & observer of everyday life

Based in country Victoria, Australia.

I’ve always loved the little things — the everyday moments you don’t think much of at the time, but somehow end up meaning the most. Motherhood has made me notice them even more. The tiny hands, the noise, the tenderness, the beautiful chaos of growing a family. I want to photograph it as it really felt, not just how it looked.
