McAllen portrait photographer Nicole Gates highlighted in Valley Business Report

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!

Welcome to Different.

This little studio on Main has a door that opens for every woman. Every age. Every stage. Every phase.

Here’s what I believe and you have heard it from me before. You don’t need a reason to be photog
R A D I C A L

Here’s a radical idea. You don’t have to earn the right to be photographed. 

You don’t have to be younger, smaller, or less busy than you are right now.

Jeans. A white blouse, one or two, or maybe even three buttons braver than her usual. A necklace that came to say something. Nothing on display she didn’t choose to show, because the power was never about the neckline. Look at her face. That&rs
