Kia Ora, my name is Nicole

Seattle / PNW dog photographer
Hi, I’m Nicole!
I’m a dog photographer based in the Pacific Northwest, usually I'm found out on a trail with my camera and my dog, Koda.
I grew up in New Zealand, surrounded by stunning landscapes and endless opportunities to explore the outdoors, which is probably where my love for nature and adventure began. Photography became a way for me to combine all the things I love: discovering new places, spending time with dogs, and capturing memories.
I have always loved taking photos and documenting memories, I would spend weekends scrapbooking with my mum and grandma. Koda is actually the reason I picked up my camera again. I love photographing our adventures and her personality, and that’s what inspired me to do the same for other dog owners. My favorite sessions are the ones that feel like an casual adventure, out in the mountains with dogs running around, being themselves while I capture their personality.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me hiking through the forest, chasing a good mountain view, or training Koda in agility. The outdoors is where I feel most at peace and it’s also where I find my biggest source of inspiration.
