Nicole Gates April 14, 2020

I was so honored to be interviewed by Chris Ardis for the March 2020 edition of the Valley Business Report. You can read the article here: https://valleybusinessreport.com/industry/professional-services/at-50-life-is-just-beginning-for-nicole-gates/.

I often talk about women entrepreneurs and this fabulous age of ours. I remember the days when I thought my parents were so old when they were in their 40’s. For me, life is just beginning as I am realizing a long time dream of opening up my photography portrait studio in McAllen, Texas. The Rio Grande Valley is home to me and I am so blessed to be able to launch my business here. I look forward to celebrating more women through my photography; especially women over 40! It is when we reach this age that we are finally connecting with our true selves. We have life experience under our belt and wisdom that can only be acquired with time.

Thanks again Chris and Valley Business Report for this honor and feature article!

WHY your headshot matters

We make decisions fast. Three seconds is all it takes for someone to decide whether they trust you, respect you, or want to learn more about you. And your headshot is the first thing doing that work.

Before the world teaches them to shrink, they give us this. The drama, the confidence, the larger-than-life imagination. If you’ve got a theatre kid or a big personality at home, capture it now. These are the years when they stil
The Gutierrez Family

The first time I photographed Danielle, she was expecting Bella. Now here they are, a full squad, louder, sweeter, and even more wonderful than before. 

This family shows up for each other, and they keep showing up for me too.

I love you still.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in watching two people grow older side by side. Especially today, when breakups feel more common than Sunday dinners and disappointment seems easier than repair. Seeing a couple who still
