Hey Everyone! I’m Nicolette
Here’s a little bit about me…
I graduated from Montclair State University with a BFA in Photography in 2014, after an unexpected but defining pivot from a Painting major. The turning point came when a professor asked me, “Why are you painting all your photographs? Why isn’t the photograph enough?” That question changed everything—and clarified that my true creative voice lived behind the lens.
Since then, my career has taken me through a wide range of photographic experiences, from working in the fashion industry in New York City to sailing aboard Holland America Cruise Line as a portrait photographer. Each chapter helped shape not only my technical skill, but my understanding of storytelling, connection, and client experience.
In 2018, I returned home and committed fully to building my photography business. By 2022, I opened my studio in the heart of Denville, New Jersey—a town that has always been close to my heart, where my family has proudly owned businesses for over 20 years. Owning a studio has been a long-held dream, and it allows me to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
My goal is simple: to create timeless, classic imagery paired with an experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and memorable. I want every client to leave not only with beautiful photographs, but with the feeling that their story was genuinely cared for.
