While I enjoy all types of photography, being a newborn photographer means I get to freeze the most fleeting moments and turn them into forever memories. From capturing the tiny details to the small personalities, nothing brings me more joy than to know I made someone happy with not only their photos but with their entire experience. Because at Heather Nicole Photography, it's not about taking photos-it's about helping you preserve the magic of your family's story.
This is where I come in-to make it easy for you, to guide you every step of the way, and to create an experience you'll love as much as the photos themselves. From start to finish, I focus on every little detail-because your family's comfort and safety mean everything.
I am beyond blessed to be part of my clients' lives and love nothing better than to watch your children and families grow.
Your Premier Newborn & Family portrait photographer
I'm heather :)
I'm so excited you're here. I officially opened my own studio in 2023 with a desire to create timeless, beautifully-lit portraits for families with little ones. From pregnancy to the early days of motherhood, I want to be there every step of the way to preserve your family story.
When I am not in my favorite place -- my studio -- I am at either at home with my husband and two dogs, or we are traveling with my camera along my side.
I grew up on the east coast and was always a water baby, so when my husband and I arrived in California, I knew this was where I belong.
Photography has always been a part of my life, starting with my great grandfather. After I had my two children, I knew the legacy was going to continue with me. I was always taking photographs of my son and daughter and once they left for college I decided it was time to turn my passion into something bigger.
A PEEK Behind-The-Scenes
My family is my greatest blessing. My husband - my partner in crime - the love of my life - my soulmate! My two children are the center of my universe - they are my reason, my strength, and my greatest joy.
Family
I love exploring new things! I've been blessed to have been able to travel all around the world. From the safaris in Africa to the white sands of Tanzania, to places closer like Canada, each place offers something new and exciting. On my bucket list is Dublin, Ireland.
Traveling
SEAFOOD!! I love almost any type of seafood. Living on the east coast most of my life afforded me the opportunity to eat fresh fish, crabs, clams, etc. There is nothing better than spreading the newspaper across a table and tossing over a bushel of steamed blue crabs. Oh, and can't forget about the corn-on-the-cob and old bay. YUMMY!!
food
My husband introduced me to something so tasty - a Huckleberry milkshake - during my first trip to the west coast. It's an Oregon thing so if you're ever in that state, google huckleberry milkshake and go get one. It'll knock your socks off!!

Just like the huckleberry milkshake, my favorite color is purple. Whenever I can introduce purple into a photo session, I do:)
My husband snapped a photo of me in a purple field outside San Francisco.
Love the color purple
"I highly recommend Heather for your newborn photos. From the moment we arrived, she made both me and my two-week-old baby feel so comfortable. As a new mom, I was a bit nervous about the session, but Heather was incredibly patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She took the time to make sure we were both comfortable, even accommodating multiple feeding breaks without hesitation. The photos she captured were magical-every moment feels so genuine. If you are looking for someone who is not only a talented photographer but also kind, patient and truly understands how to work with newborns and their parents, look no further! We are beyond thrilled with the memories she created for us."

"We recently had Heather photograph our newborn and family, and I'm beyond thrilled with the experience and results! From the start, Heather's warmth and professionalism put us at ease - She clearly has a knack for working with little ones and families. She listened to what we wanted and brought such a gentle, creative touch to the session. The photos are absolutely breathtaking - every tiny detail of our baby and the love in our family was captured perfectly, with gorgeous lighting and composition. Heather's patience and skill really stood out, and the final edited images were delivered so quickly. If you need a talented, caring photographer for newborn or family moments, Heather is hands-down the best choice."

"We would highly recommend Heather Nicole Photography. We needed a photographer last minute and she really came through for us. On top of all that, she was extremely flexible and was very helpful in coordinating with us. She offers fair pricing and even got our photos back to us quickly and they were great. If you hire Heather you won’t be disappointed."
