Mariah: Describe yourself and what you do! Nicole: My name is Nicole and I am a wedding, elopement and portrait photographer based in Boise, Idaho. I am so passionate about photography and love making people feel beautiful inside and out! I travel for weddings all over the world + take photos in my home state of Idaho! 2. Mariah: How did you get into photography? Nicole: One year I got my first camera as a Christmas gift! I was taking photos with my phone and really wanted a camera. I didn’t really think about becoming a full time photographer at first! I started out just taking cute portraits of my close friends! Then my passion for photography grew when I was in college for a year studying education, I thought I wanted to be a teacher so I came back home got a little teaching job and did photography on the side. I started following other photographers in my area and was so inspired by them. I did a mentor session with a photographer and went full time that next Summer after my teaching job was done for the summer. It all happened so fast but my family supported me so much and I couldn’t do it without them. I have now been a full time photographer for 2 years now and have hosted workshops and traveled to weddings out of state. I was so hesitant to pursue my dreams but I am so glad I did it! 3. Mariah: What kind of photography do you do? Describe your style. Nicole: I would describe my style as warm, bright and earthy! 4. Mariah: Where do you like to shoot photography? Nicole: I love to take photos in the mountains, the beach or any National Park! Nicole Catherine Photography 5. Mariah: What do you enjoy most shooting and why? Nicole: I love taking photos of couples the most because I can tell their love story through the photos I take, each couple has such a unique story and I love capturing them in love! 6. Mariah: What kind of photography seems the most rewarding or fulfilling to you? Nicole: I feel so happy when I finish editing a wedding or an engagement shoot and the client is so happy with all the photos!! That is the most rewarding thing when all my hard works pay off. 7. Mariah: What do you think makes a 'good photo'? Nicole: I think “a good photo” can be different to each person but I love when I look at a photo and it takes me back to that certain memory or time. When you can look at a photo and get inspiration + a strong emotion I think that’s what makes a photo good. 8. Mariah: I've seen you done lots of engagement shoots and bridals, have you had any surprises happen during them? Nicole: This is a good question! Nothing too crazy but I’ve had a few couples get lost and just recently my car battery died when I was in the mountains taking photos of a couple! I made it back down the mountain so I was good! Haha 9. Mariah: What do you like to do in your free time? Nicole: I love to go hiking or just hang out with friends + family! Also when I have free time I like to set up styled shoots because they make me so happy! 10. Mariah: Do you look up to anyone for photography? Like inspirations. Nicole: Yes! There's so many amazing people + photographers I look up to! Kylie Morgan is on the top of my list because she’s taught me so much + she’s the sweetest human! Nicole Catherine Photography 11. Mariah: What do you use to edit photos? Nicole: I use Lightroom to edit all my photos. 12. Mariah: If you could take a trip anywhere in the world to do photography, where would you go and why? Nicole: This is such a hard question but also I talk about these places all the time!! It has to be between Greece, Iceland or the Amalfi Coast! So if anyone wants to elope and get married there I’m your girl!! Haha 13. Mariah: What has influenced you to be a photographer as a career? Nicole: Other photographers that I had followed on instagram helped me with making it a career + my family pushed me to work hard and make it full time! At first I didn’t think it would be full time for me until I kept on booking clients and it was taking most of my time :) 14. Mariah: What's next for you? What do you see yourself doing in the next couple of years? Nicole: My goal for the next few years are to travel all around the world and take photos for couples! It really want to make it happen. I also want to keep on booking elopements because I love them so much! I will definitely still be doing photography for a long time + growing my business and myself!
