About Nicole
This is a not-so-short page to tell you a few things about me:
RANDOM BITS OF INFO...
I LOVE music. I do have my TV addictions, but I am truly a music girl. I always have music on in the background. Sometimes Opera. Sometimes Jazz. Sometimes Reggae. Sometimes Techno. Sometimes, even Country. Mostly, it's Dance music.
I love Vanilla ice cream but Chocolate everything else. I am a Culinary School graduate. I have been told that I tend to laugh too loud. I have visited every state in this country except Alaska. (I was lucky enough to check Hawaii off the list 3 years ago).
I currently live with a 5 year old 120 pound green-eyed Chocolate Lab named Rockford, a 3 year old blue-eyed white Boxer named Ruby, and my 9 1/2 year old Bengal cat, Boomer. They are so sweet and wonderful and cuddly and keep me busy and happy and healthy.
WHY I'M A PET PHOTOGRAPHER...
I am a cat AND a dog person... I know most people are typically one or the other, and for most of my life I belonged to the 'Cats Only' crowd. But in 1998 I met my husband, and a few months later we adopted a dog together. Because I didn't know a thing about dogs, my husband bought me multiple books about dogs and how to train them. I fell completely in love with my dog ~ and my husband ~ and continued reading and learning all I could about how to train them (my dog AND my husband).
Since I was a child, I've always had a camera in my hand. I call myself a 'self-taught' photographer. I got my first digital camera in 1999 and it was a whopping 2.0 megapixels and it was giant and heavy!
Pet Photography is the best career ever! I get to travel around, meet pets and their people, and spend time having fun with them and capturing their unique beauty and emotion on camera! What could be better??
