When I imagined my brand photos for my law firm Thoughtful Lawyering PLLC, I knew I needed a photographer who could capture the warm, welcoming, and supportive nature of my brand. Fate led me to Nicole de Waal, who exceeded all my expectations. Nicole is a true professional, incredibly creative, and a joy to work with. We spent a lot of time discussing and strategically planning every detail to ensure the final images perfectly represented me and my brand. Her flexibility to do the photo session at my home created a comfortable and familiar setting that allowed my personality to shine through in the photos. If you’re looking for a talented and trustworthy photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole. Her work is exceptional. You won’t be disappointed.

Nicole really captured who I am and what I'm all about! The photos she took of me are so much more than just great photos, it’s much deeper than that. She really knows how to connect with people which shows in her images when you look at the expression in the eyes. She’s great at establishing a comfort level and building trust, I felt so taken care of. She directed me throughout the session, and I was able to connect with the messages I was trying to convey in every shot. She was able to bring out my different sides and you can see that reflected back in my photos. I cried when I saw my photos, they were so amazing, I love them!!! Nicole is all about the details, from the wardrobe prep, the lighting, posing, directing, photo editing, product delivery, just every step of the process! Us women work so hard, we rarely make time for ourselves. It really was a gift to spend time with Nicole and do the photoshoot, but also just to pause for one day… and to really reflect on your life and what you've accomplished. The pictures really show who I am, what I've done and how far I've come. I love using my new photos for my business, social media, and when I need to submit images of myself for upcoming features in the press. I have already gotten many new opportunities that have come my way through people seeing my photos. Best investment ever, it’s totally worth it!!!" - Roxana Escobar Kariyannis

Nicole did my headshots and branding photos for my company GreenGear Supply. She captured a variety of looks, including some with my products. She also did some graphic design work that incorporated our brand elements, and created a behind the scenes reel featuring the session highlights. We had planning meetings on zoom prior to the session which was very helpful. We went over inspiration photos, wardrobe, hair, makeup and backdrop choices. Nicole also created a detailed production schedule and a list of what to bring to keep me organized. I chose Nicole as my photographer because she really adds a personal touch to it. I liked how she guided me throughout the whole process and that she made me feel comfortable. There was also a business-sense touch which was helpful in figuring out what photos I would need for my customers. I wasn't just left to figure it all out on my own. Everything was strategically thought out and taken care of by Nicole. There were even dairy-free snacks for me at the session to accommodate my allergy and so I wouldn't have to worry about food! When I first saw the photos I was really impressed by the quality! I also didn't realize previously how much work goes into a professional photoshoot - from figuring out the poses to the right camera angles, it was definitely something I would have never been able to do myself. I'll be using the photos for my website, shop, marketing, blog, social media, videos, and updating my profile photos. I also plan to use them when I'm featured in articles and magazines, as well as for awards, and any press/media opportunities. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for professional photos and a next-level experience!

I was looking for a photographer to do a special photoshoot for my wife’s 30th birthday. Before speaking with Nicole, I contacted other photo studios for the same experience. What I got back from them was a simple email with some basic information and a price quote. My experience with Nicole was far better and engaging. Nicole went the extra mile and spent a lot of time to understand my exact vision, what my wife liked, and what would be the ideal results. She asked great questions that I had to go back and think about to make the experience memorable. That kicked off several planning sessions with Nicole who methodically went over every detail to ensure the shoot went exactly as planned. She even went to our local Party City to scope out the best assortment of balloons, colors, and extras that would help with the aesthetics of the shoot! She placed the order after my approval and I was able to easily pick up all the items required. She was also very accommodating about the date and timing due to it being for a birthday. The entire experience of the actual photoshoot on the day was everything I expected and more. Nicole had the studio decorated and set up to cater to my wife’s style down to the music playlist we picked. She walked my wife through everything step by step. She guided her with posing and gave her direction to make the pictures as amazing as possible. She also had cameras set up to capture behind the scenes moments and so much laughter in between that would be hard to capture in a normal setting. There was a planned break during the shoot too and Nicole provided healthy snacks and beverages to keep us energized and excited about the day! The session included professional makeup on site as well, which was perfect to avoid any inconvenience to my wife before the shoot. The makeup artist, Valbona Celaj, took time to understand the type of look my wife was envisioning and she catered to that exact result. My wife was amazed at her skills and indicated that it looked exactly like what she wanted. To throw a twist: I also wanted to include our first born infant to make my wife’s day extra special. I informed Nicole of this challenge and she immediately explored options with me to make it happen. She was able to accommodate family photos, as well as individual photos of our infant. They were the perfect addition to the beauty portraits of my wife and our couple's photos. Seeing all the high quality images that were created literally melted my wife’s heart. This was amazing and Nicole was such a pleasure to work with to make this happen for us. The final product was a large heirloom album, digital copies of the retouched photos, and a behind the scenes highlight reel. My wife loved the album and everything, it brought back so many memories of that day. That album is something that she will have forever. I would highly recommend Nicole for your photoshoot. She invests all her time and energy into it to ensure your experience is authentic, fun, and memorable.
