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 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 am 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??
