Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and i'm a 24 year old redheaded photographer. I enjoy coffee, wine, and homemade italian food. I love drinking tea and relaxing after a long day but i truthfully love nothing more then staying up late and stargazing or sitting around a bonfire. I'm a grandma at heart and I love animals. I have a full time job working on roughly 17 different farms and I photograph half naked women in my spare time.
I'm only partially kidding.
But seriously, I am a staff photographer for Ladies of Metal, but my real passion is portraiture and creative imagery. I work with a few of my best friends (Cera & Vannah) who are both spokesmodels for Ladies of Metal and have a blast taking and submitting images for them.
All images here were were taken by me with the exception of the top photo which was taken by my boyfriend who is also a photographer. (You can view my website here).
Talking about myself is difficult. Over the years I have alway second guessed myself as a photographer, I considered myself just another person with a semi decent camera who didn't shoot in automatic. I've become a lot more trusting in myself and what I can accomplish with the little amount of equipment that I have.
I've come a long way so here's a photo from 2010 and one from 2015/16 of the same girl, a close friend of mine.
Growth is so important and recognizing how far you've come helps you grow even more.
I personally enjoy photographing faces. Portraiture can be beautiful, creepy or interesting depending on how you do it. Either way invoking emotion and making people feel beautiful in images is important to me and portraying a storyline that the viewer can create on their own. I don't like to put a story with my images (most of the time), I would rather leave that up to the viewer to decide.
In the beginning I picked up a camera because of my grandfather (another story for another time). Because of him I realize the importance of photographing your life and using those images to remind you of times that have passed, 50 years down the road when you can't really remember exactly what happened.
Most of my posts on here will more then likely be photography related, and I will be posting a utter shit ton of images. I'm guessing I will use this as a platform to share behind the scenes images, before and afters and possibly the backstory or story behind the shoots.
I hope you enjoy
xoxo -Nicole
Hi Nicole! Just to let you know we have had cases of identity theft in the past; not trying to knock you, but would it be possible for you to make your website link to steemit?
That way we know it's the real you!

Agree and as this post is about to hit payout without verification I'm flagging it.
Nichole, sorry for the inconvenience but if this is really you I would encourage you to repost your introduction with proper verification. You will likely get more upvotes and engagement than just posting it and leaving us to guess whether someone just ripped off the pictures from your web site and posted them here for a quick buck or not.

Good morning @anyx @smooth and everyone else! I'm one of the models Nicole included in her post. I'm verified, you can check my blog.
She asked me to comment and let you all know that she's currently at work on a farm right now and has no way of posting a verification at the moment, but she should be home in a few hours. Have a nice day, guys. :)

Thanks for explaining. I went ahead and removed the flag but people will give her a lot more support if she verifies properly at some point.

She's planning to post a verification as soon as she gets home.
Thanks for removing the flag!

@anyx @smooth my apologies for not including this in the first place, I'm new so I wasn't sure if it was required. I really appreciate you looking out though because I would severely upset if someone was to take my work and claim it as their own! I will be making a new post soon including a better verification image but here is one for now. Thank you!

I recognized the photo of Cera instantly and I gather she's brought you to Steemit or was it the other way around? Very nice work by the way.

I loved the shot of Vannah Blair. Very very very strong. It is depicting the strength of woman's beauty. It stands to tell the fact that woman are the creature with blessed beauty. Her pose is adorable and yes no need to mention you captured it perfect

I'm not sure why people have flagged and/or downvoted your post...
I was the first to upvote and saw you were close to $200 shortly later, and now 17$? What some serious crap, That is just disgusting. Especially since your photography offers 10x more than 90% of the garbage circulating here... I don't know what to say, but things like this will be the obvious downfall to STEEMIT.. such a joke.
Good luck Nicole, I support and follow you.

@generation.easy I really and truly appreciate your support. Unfortunately there was a bit of a misunderstanding which I believe is resolved now. It was my fault for not including a verification image but I just posted one in the comments. Next time I won't be making the same mistake thats for sure! I am forever grateful of you!
