Nicole Gates - Photographer

Deciding to be photographed is exciting and fun, and also scary! It is an exercise in vulnerability, exposing yourself to another person. It is also a very empowering experience.

I have been photographed too. I get it! You are letting someone really really see you and forever document who you are in that moment! I understand that many people get nervous in front of a camera, and that is why I’m here! To guide you every step of the way!

I don’t expect you to know how to do anything. No modeling experience is required, because you will connect with your authentic self. And if that means the authenticity lies in finding a supermodel inside of you, then great! But in no means do I want you to ever feel like you have to be anything or anyone that you are not. It’s a journey I have been on myself… to find my authenticity and become more self-aware.

People often say “But…I’m not photogenic. I could never do that.” That usually means that they have never felt comfortable in front of a camera because they feel like they need to “do” something special. There is no such thing as being photogenic. But there is such a thing as being comfortable and trusting that the photographer will do you justice.

I promise you that you will have fun and see yourself in a new light! You will be confident and comfortable and you will end up with some beautiful photographs that you will forever cherish. Come in by yourself, bring your family, bring someone you love, and I promise you an experience that will create forever memories of you and who you are now.


Can’t wait to meet you!


XOXO
