The Photographer Who Actually Makes It Fun

Editorial couples photography rooted in real connection — based in Upstate New York, available wherever you are.

Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm a Photographer and a practicing Physician Assistant and the face behind Nicole Ann Photography.

My secret sauce for photoshoots is in the experience. My sessions are not simple sessions, but rather a full experience that is unique, creative, fun, and tailored to the moment. In the end, you won't just "see" your photos,  you will feel them. The photos tell a story, but without words.

Most people show up nervous. They don't know what to do with their hands, they're worried they'll look awkward, and they've convinced themselves they're "not photogenic." By the end? They're laughing, they've forgotten the camera exists, and they're texting me asking when they can do it again. That's the part I live for.

Photography Style

I shoot with a cinematic, editorial eye — bright, luminous,  romantic — but what I'm really doing is creating the conditions for something real to happen. The quiet moment before a kiss. The laugh that caught you both off guard. The look that says everything without saying anything. That's what ends up on your wall. That's what makes you cry when you see your gallery. That's what makes you feel your photos rather than just seeing them.

Digital and Film Options

I shoot digitally on a Sony a7R V, and for couples who love that nostalgic, creamy film look — I also offer analog 35mm add-ons with my Nikon FM2. It's a beautiful way to add texture and heirloom feeling to your gallery.

Why My Background is Your Secret Advantage

I'm also a practicing Physician Assistant, which means reading the room, staying calm under pressure, and adapting fast aren't just photography skills for me, they're second nature. Whether you're nervous about being on camera, the weather changes, or the lighting isn't cooperating, I pivot without missing a beat. You'll never know anything went sideways. You'll just see great photos.

Based in Upstate New York and able to travel for destination sessions, I work with couples who want something meaningful, cinematic, and deeply personal; not stiff, posed, or cookie-cutter.
