The Tethered Tales
A storytelling family session that celebrates the beautiful chaos, heartfelt connections, and timeless moments that define your family.
Tethered Tales Sessions – A Legacy in the Making
These aren’t just photos; they’re timeless keepsakes—heirlooms of the connection you share, the moments that feel small now but will mean everything later.
These sessions are about the unscripted, candid magic of your family—the wild, the soft, the in-between.
No stiff poses. No forced smiles.
Just real love, real laughter, real memories.
Think of it as a curated experience that still feels completely effortless—a space where you can simply be present.
Whether it’s twirling in golden light, hands instinctively finding each other, or a whispered “I love you” between the chaos, I’ll capture it all. The storytelling that makes your family’s legacy uniquely yours.
Because let’s be honest—life moves fast. One day, these tiny hands won’t be so tiny. The giggles will change, the days will blur, but these images? They’ll pull you right back.
Nostalgic, emotive, warm.
A love letter to this fleeting chapter.
If you’re longing for more than just pictures—if you want something elevated, intentional, and deeply authentic—let’s make it happen.
The best time is now.
Let’s freeze a little piece of today, so you can hold onto it forever.
I’m not here for stiff, posed shots that don’t feel like you.
My sessions are all about the real moments—the laughter that bubbles up between siblings, the soft glances shared between partners, and the joyful chaos of toddlers running wild.
We’re here to capture authentic connections, the unscripted magic as it unfolds. Because those emotive moments—the giggles, the little looks, the loving chaos—are what you’ll want to remember forever.
Let’s create timeless images that tell your story and showcase your family’s true essence—warm, imperfect, and filled with heart.
Worried About Your Kids Behaving?
Don’t Be.
Let them be curious, playful, and wonderfully unscripted. I’ll be there to capture the candid, emotive, and joy-filled moments that make your family uniquely yours.
The giggles, the silliness, the way they run straight into your arms—these are the memories that become heirlooms.
So, take a breath, soak it in, and trust that the magic is already there. I’ll make sure you have images that bring you right back to this chapter—timeless, warm, and full of heart.
Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is.

“Nicole is amazing at what she does. Her experience working with kids makes her the perfect photographer for families with children.
She’s patient, understanding and can make any situation work. I’m looking forward to having more family shoots done in the future to capture each year with my children; I want to make it a tradition now; and I know with Nicole I will be in safe hands.”
