who i am

Hi, I’m Nicole — the face behind Nicole Forbes Photography.

Creativity has always been a part of who I am. Long before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I spent 15 years working as a newborn nanny, caring for babies and supporting families during those precious early days. Newborns have always held such a special place in my heart, and that experience naturally shaped the calm, baby-led approach I bring into my sessions today.

It never crossed my mind that photography would become such a huge part of my life until my daughter, Presley, was born in 2019. Like most moms, I couldn’t stop taking photos of my beautiful baby — but for me, something clicked. Presley became my inspiration, my muse, and the reason I fell deeply in love with documenting connection, emotion, and the little moments that pass by far too quickly.

That same year, I decided to take a leap and start my business full time. I had finally found what had been missing all along. Photography quickly became more than just taking pictures — it became a way to tell stories, preserve memories, and create art from the moments families never want to forget.

Today, I specialize in warm, natural, and heartfelt newborn and family photography. My goal is always to create images that feel genuine, timeless, and full of emotion — the kind of photos that bring you right back to this season of life years from now.

I’m so grateful you’re here, and I look forward to capturing memories for your family to cherish for years to come.
