Simple, Loving, Organic and from the HEART!

embark on a beautiful adventure

As a mother myself, I know how the parts of life we value the most seem to fly by in an instant. My mission is to capture the love you share, the daily expressions of joy, and the beauty of the ordinary in a soulful and timeless way.

My photography sessions are all about taking the time to slow down, understand my clients and capture the subtleties of their affection for one another. Whether we shoot in the great outdoors or the comfort of your home. I'll be there to capture your memories.

Nichole Marie is an on-location natural light portrait and lifestyle photographer in Wilmington, NC who specializes in family photography, child photography, couples photography, personal branding photography, maternity photography, and high school senior photography. I want to create original images tailored to you, your personality, and your family.

My goal is to take the stress away as soon as we meet. If you feel like you have a rambunctious crew, bring it on! I love capturing real moments and telling stories instead of just forced poses — though rest assured we will get some of those too!
