Nikole Did an absolutely Beautiful Job on My Mother’s Day photo shoot! She is extremely talented in what she does, she made me feel so comfortable and confident while being photographed, she had props for me and my little one to do to make it feel natural being in front of the camera! She was also able to get my shy one year old to smile and laugh in photos for once! Once I had seen the final result of the photos I was in absolutely awe of how Stunning they had turned out! I can not recommend Light & Love Photography enough❤️

Nikole has done three photo sessions for us so far. A family session, horror theme and most recently our wedding. There are not enough good things to say about her and her work. What I appreciate is she will take any photo ideas and poses you have and will make sure to implement them along with having ideas of her own. She is easy to work with and simply just an amazing person. We love her!!

Nikole is my go-to photographer! I approached her with my idea to do a "Then and Now" photo shoot highlighting my music career from the 70's to how I look now at age 71. Not only did Nikole rock the shoot and my vision, she edited the photos to match the historic vibes of that era. I highly recommend Light & Love Photography! Thank you, Nikole, for making my dream shoot come true! I wish I could give you a hundred

Nikole is remarkable at what she does, she’s truly an artist! She’s amazing with kids, mine were WILD for this shoot and she handled them so well. The candid pictures she took when no one was paying attention was truly a treat for my soul. I highly recommend her for ANY shoot you have in mind. I promise she’ll blow any idea you have out of the water.
