Working with Nicole was a wonderful experience. She has such an incredible eye for beautiful photos and was involved in the process from start to finish (guiding us on outfits, planning the photo shoot ahead of time, helping to choose the best photos, and so on). I highly recommend her and would love to use her again. She was incredibly patient with our two very active boys AND dogs (lots of movement, lots of barking!) and was able to capture moments and expressions we will treasure. Her recommendation for hair and makeup was perfect, too!

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole for our first born son’s photoshoot around June 2024 and had a great experience. The studio was nice, clean, comfy and had convenient parking space. I had my makeup and hair done by Galina, whom Nicole recommended, and was satisfied with the outcome. Loved that makeup felt light and natural. Our sessions went smoothly and I appreciated that poses were natural so the pictures came out the same! They looked timeless and would fit any area of the house if we ever decide to have them framed. I love the soft hues and natural lighting as well. These are actually the top reasons why I decided to work with Nicole. We were so excited when the photos finally came out! Everything looked beautiful that it was hard not to pick everything lol! Truly worth it! Im glad we gave it a go and that now we have these photos to treasure and look back to.

My experience with Nicole Hawkins Photography was exceptional. Nicole was very communicative throughout the entire process and very accommodating throughout our time working together. I loved her energy and excitement around our family shoot and she made our experience incredibly pleasurable! She was very warm and professional and her studio was absolutely beautiful and very inviting. I purchased a session for my son’s 5th birthday and Nicole went above and beyond to deliver the pictures on time for his big day. Although my son was very active during our session, Nicole was very poised and did a great job rallying him during the shoot. We love the final product and our friends and family are excited to receive images as well. Nicole’s work is incredible, but more than her craft, she was such a kind and delightful person to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

We hired Nicole for a family photoshoot in her studio and had an amazing experience. From start to finish, Nicole was responsive, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. She took the time to understand our preferences, working closely with us to capture exactly what we were looking for. During the shoot, she was fantastic with our kids (5 and 3)— patient, friendly, and able to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos were incredible and exactly what we were looking for. Nicole beautifully captured a mix of both candid and posed shots, showcasing our family’s personalities and creating memories we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend working with Nicole!
