We had an amazing experience with Nicole for our son's newborn photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Nicole has an incredible eye for capturing beautiful, genuine moments. She took her time throughout the entire session and never made us feel rushed. Our toddler wasn't initially interested in being in the photos, but Nicole was so patient and engaging that she was able to make her smile, participate, and capture some truly precious sibling and family photos. Toward the end of the session, our newborn started getting fussy. Instead of trying to rush through the remaining poses, Nicole patiently waited for him to calm down and fall asleep. Thanks to her experience and patience, we were able to get the beautiful swaddled sleeping photos we had hoped for. Her studio is beautiful, professional, and thoughtfully set up with everything a family could need during a newborn session. The extra snacks and refreshments were such a thoughtful touch and were especially appreciated by our daughter! Nicole's patience, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We will treasure these photos forever and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented newborn and family photographer. read more

The studio was really nice and included a welcome sign for us, she was really patient with our baby, and got the proofs quickly.

Nicole is truly amazing. I really appreciate how patient she was throughout the entire process. She took her time showing me which poses would work best and even helped me find the perfect outfit for the shoot. That meant so much to me because I wanted everything to feel just right. I absolutely love the way the photos came out. These are memories I will cherish forever. Her studio is super cute, welcoming, and beautifully set up. I'm so grateful for her talent and care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to capture meaningful moments. read more

We booked Nicole to do newborn photos. She was very patient with my daughter as she was being a little fussy when we first arrived. Her studio in Brea is very nice and pretty much has everything there just in case you had forgotten something. I was very happy that she welcomed pets at her studio. Which we were able to bring our golden retriever to be part of the family and sibling photos. The photos captured came out great and it was exactly what I was looking for. read more

We had such a good experience with Nicole! Newborns are very fragile and parents could feel uncomfortable/nervous with another person handling their baby, but we didn't feel like that at all. She knew exactly how to handle a newborn and my baby slept through the whole shoot. She was very friendly and welcoming! read more

This review is long overdue as Nicole has photographed our maternity and newborn photos for both our son and daughter all the way back in 2018. She is amazingly talented and has a very timeless yet eye-catching photography style. She captures heirloom quality photos that your family will always treasure. Her studio is beautiful, clean, and comfortable with an area for entertaining your older kids if you have them. Nicole was extremely patient and took her time photographing our newborn and 2 older children. She has a depth of experience handling newborns and it is evident in the caring way she is able to soothe your baby during a session. We have already booked her for our 3rd baby's 6 month and 1 year family/milestone sessions because she is just THAT GOOD! I have referred several friends and coworkers to Nicole that have loved her work as well. Having a 5 year old, 3 year old, and a newborn has made me nostalgic about all their baby photos. I love to look back at their baby books/family albums and so do my husband and kiddos! Children grow so fast and these are memories we will always cherish. If you've been on the fence about booking. I highly recommend you go for it because your babies are only this small once and you will not regret having Nicole capture these precious moments in time. read more

Nicole took our second newborn photos for my boys. My pictures came out so beautiful and she even got my newborn to smile in so many of them! They are my favorite photos till this day. The one thing I appreciate about her sessions are they are not rushed. I expected to have to stop and feed/change baby, and she builds extra time in order to do that. Extra plus, she had toys/movies for my toddler to keep entertained while we took photos. Thank you! read more

Nicole was wonderful with our newborn--so patient and professional. The studio was beautifully arranged, creating a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that made both us and our baby feel at ease. Nicole was exceptionally gentle with our little one, making sure she stayed as relaxed as possible throughout the session. It was clear that she has a genuine passion for capturing these precious moments. We would definitely love to return to her for future sessions! read more

Absolutely loved loved loved this experience, seeing my babygirl handled so gently, i don't know how she does it but she is the baby whisperer. I sent a few of my friends that are expecting her info cause of how great this whole experience was. I will definitely be back for her next photoshoot. read more

I found Nicole on Yelp while looking for a last minute shoot for my newborn. Nicole was very prompt with responding which I appreciated since I was time sensitive to getting newborn photos. She was kind and very professional, I felt very comfortable with her and she was absolutely amazing with my baby. Her studio is very welcoming and clean, she even had a space for toddlers to keep them busy which I enjoyed because I did bring my 3 year old as well. She has a huge selection of colors and props to use so I'm sure everyone can find what they are looking for. I am so happy I found Nicole because the photos came out so beautiful and exactly what I had wanted. I will definitely be recommending Nicole to anyone I know in the OC area looking for a newborn photographer. read more

As my husband and I walked in to her home we were greeted by her and she walked us over to her studio, on a little letter board it said "welcome baby Zayn" the personal touch! It immediately felt so comfortable and to see all her years of experience showed with how many props she had She is awesome, Not only is she amazingly talented and patient with our newborn, her home studio had all the cutest props you can't even think of! So don't worry if you don't have the "cute beanie or blanket" she will however mention that you can bring a prop of your own, we decided on some boxing gloves signed by The Great Muhammad Ali! So I panicked a little because my baby was not in the 10 day old range as I see most photographers request- in order to get the new baby look( they grow and change so fast!!) I understand why they say bring them at 2 weeks old. Our guy was almost 5 weeks, I contacted her and she was so sweet in replying to me when I had time- which was the middle of the night while I fed my baby- ahhh major points for that!! Excellent experience, she soothes the baby, her energy is so gentle I think the babies know and it truly transfers into the photo session. In love with how everything turned out... oh and I can't even forget to mention, she was available same week for the photo shoot, she keeps her studio at a temp comfortable for the baby, she has a whole baby changing station and it's stocked with wipes diapers and everything!! She is without a doubt an awesome photographer and the experience was unforgettable, our little ones pictures are priceless, Thank you Nicole!! read more

Nicole took our newborn photos and I knew I had to return to have her take my daughter's 1 year photos! This time, instead of having a tiny, movable, sleepy baby...I had a little energizer bunny who wouldn't sit still, walked all over the place, kept her hands in her mouth (teething!) and kept walking out of the shoot! I kept apologizing (we all know 1 year olds do their own thing!) but Nicole was super sweet and just followed my daughter around going to according her movements. I was so nervous that we wouldn't catch any good shots because my daughter kept moving, but again Nicole made some magic and took some amazing shots! We are so happy with her photos and are going to love looking back on these beautiful memories! Thank you Nicole! read more

Just had my baby girl's new born photos taken with Nicole and the whole experience was superb from beginning to end. She was very professional and with having a new born during covid everything was extremely clean and we felt safe. It was only my family and her at the studio and we all wore masks and kept our distance. She was so good with Pam (baby whisper), had so much patience and captured her perfectly. We were able to pick colors that we liked for themes and she had everything already set up for us as soon as we got there. The photos were ready for us in a timely manner and the quality of her work is amazing. I can't stop looking at the photos not just because it's pictures of my child but even other babies on her IG are great to. So happy we booked with Nicole and overall would definitely come back to her for future family photos. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. read more

Nicole did such an amazing job with my son's newborn pictures! I found her here on Yelp and I was not disappointed! She was so patient with my baby boy and took her time to get the perfect pictures! I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to my family and friends! Update: I again used Nicole for my new baby girl and she did not disappoint! She once again delivered beautiful pictures of my daughter and even got an amazing sibling picture even when my son did not want to be photographed. She works so well with the babies and siblings. She also had toys for my son to play with while baby sister was getting her pictures taken. Thanks again Nicole! read more

I cannot be more grateful to have found Nicole for our newborn photos! Our babygirl arrived a few weeks early and booking a photography session was still on my to do list before she arrived. So when we finally came up for air, I was worried I wouldn't find someone in time. But Nicole was amazing! She replied promptly and made time to answer all my questions about the available options. She really put me at ease about making this happen. I was so impressed with her home studio. Everything was set up with comfort and care! I also really appreciated her flexibility and creativity, because I'm a visual person it was helpful to see the options before making choices. However, my favorite thing was the props and sweet floral headbands. (Everyone who knows me knows I love headbands!!) She even created an Easter themed shot, it was just too adorable! All in all, I can see Nicole's passion for her job. And I love working with people who love what they do! Thank you for capturing this precious moment in time for our family! read more

I found Nicole right here on Yelp! She was professional and prepared from the start of the process from her invoice and contract along with a newborn photoshoot checklist. Her studio is totally prepared for anything - kids, families, hungry clients etc. She has already prepared 3 different set ups for my newborn and was prepared for our family shots as well. Her preparation significantly cut down the amount of time that it took to get the photos- about 2 hours. She was kind and gentle with our newborn and our 6 year old and made the whole experience a positive one! read more

Nicole is amazing. She was able fit my newborn in after I decided after a week of her being born I wanted newborn pictures. Her response time was amazing and she was very professional and thorough yet uncomplicated in explaining her packages and tips for a good shoot and calm baby. She responded to all my emails and questions promptly and was very flexible. During the shoot she was magical in getting my fussy baby calm and relaxed. Very patient and hands on. Her studio was comfortable with the perfect temp and sounds that my husband went to sleep immediately and started snoring, then eventually my baby. Most importantly, the pictures were amazing. I trusted her vision and perspective and was glad I did. My baby liked her and she does excellent work so I highly recommend Nicolenjoli. read more

This is our second time using Nicole for our newborn photos and she was great as expected. From her prompt responses and open communication to gently comforting our newborn during the session - she was pleasant and professional.

Nicole is an awesome newborn photographer, we had our first baby and had no experience with newborn photography, we had no idea what to expect or how to prepare. Luckily I found Nicole on yelp, with all her positive reviews, I decided to have my babies photos done with Nicolenjoli. She took her time to communicate with me, and walked me through what to expect in the session. She was so patient with our daughter as she was 3 weeks old already and not sleeping very much, she was fussy at the studio but Nicole took her time and put our baby to sleep. The room temperature was warm, she had womb sounds playing, lavender diffusing in the air and baby seemed very comfortable. Today we received our babies photos, my husband as I are so happy with them. We booked Nicole's "Babies First Year" package and are going to have our babies 6 month and one year photos done by her. Since we are Chinese, 100 days old photos are a very big deal for us, so we also added another photo session with Nicolenjoli for our first baby! Looking forward to working with Nicole again !!! read more

I worked with Nicole for a newborn session after giving birth to my little one much sooner than expected. I was very worried that I would miss the window for newborn photos! Nicole was very quick to respond to my inquiry for more information and provide her availability. Nicole was also very flexible with how we divided the shoot time in order to get a toddler sibling to cooperate with the shoot. The day of the shoot my normally heavy sleeping little one was very interested in her new environment but Nicole bundled her up and was able to soothe her fairly quickly. Nicole was a pro at posing her and the getting great shots. I was also impressed by Nicole's concern for my baby's safety with any of the poses. The newborn photos I received are adorable and I can't wait to share them with family. read more

Nicole was AMAZING professional SUPER FRIENDLY AND I LOVE THAT SHES HAS THESE AMAZING IDEAS WHEN IT COMES TO THE PHOTOSHOOT. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I found her on instagram sent her a message and she booked me same week. When many required 1 to 2 months in advance. She has an amazing set up at her home for newborn and maternity. What I love about her is that she tells you how to position your body and face to get the perfect angle. She is very patient and makes you feel at home. I am very happy I came across her and I cant wait to see the digital photos!!! Dont hestitate give her a call she will send you different packages. Will post pic once I recieve them. read more

Nicole was a pleasure to work with. I contacted her a few months in advance for a newborn photo session (with a sibling). Communicated through email and was able to secure everything that way. Her studio was easy to find and was very comfortable. It has all natural light with giant windows. She has an array of blankets and props to use. We let her do her thing with choosing most of the colors and props. I trust her judgement. She worked for nearly 30 minutes coaxing our little one to sleep to get the photos. We also had a sibling photo with a two year old (just barely two) and somehow we got him to follow directions and listen! I am most excited to see these photos. I would highly recommend Nicole for newborn photos. read more

We just got our holiday pictures done by Nicole. It was an overall great experience! She was efficient, flexible with time, and very price competitive. Most importantly, we needed the pictures by a specific date, and she delivered what was originally promised (and more!). We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Nicole! read more

I found Nicole on yelp search near rowland heights, and I'm so glad I found her. She was patient of answering my questions prior to the shooting. We brought our son Caleb for 100 days photo shoot, Nicole is patient and gentle with my little boy, the background and colors are great to choose from. I wish I could have brought my Caleb for his new born photos, instead I used the ones came to my hospitals which I regret. Well, we will sure come to Nicole for our second baby :) Tips: Nicole use natural lights at her home studio, so the shooting will be in the morning~ noon. read more

Nicole has a lot of experience with new born and made feel comfortable as a new mom. She has the most beautiful set ups at her shop.

First thing I'm going to say is that Im really happy I found Nicole! I was looking for a photographer that could take maternity and newborn picture and the pictures she has on her website stood out to me. It was exactly what I was looking for.

So I reached out to her and she replied right away with all the information I needed. The packages she offered with the prices were very reasonable. I just had my maternity session done and they turned out great. Now i can't wait for my baby to be born so we can have our newborn pictures! read more

Nicole was very professional and welcomed us into her studio during a pandemic. Being a first time mom made me feel anxious, but masks were required and she was the only one in the room besides myself and baby. Her space was warm, cozy and clean! I loved that she had a variety of props to use for my little girls photos. She was gentle and made me feel very comfortable as she put my baby to sleep. The photos came out amazing and she allowed my husband and I in the photos which is so special! Thank you Nicole, we had a great experience. read more

I contacted Nicole for a newborn photoshoot and she responded very quickly and was able to set me up for an appointment the same week. My appointment was for today and I can say I'm very happy I decided to go with her. I loved the personal touch she added, which was a sign welcoming my baby by her name. Her studio is so warm and cozy which was perfect for my newborn. Nicole is amazing with babies! I was a bit worried my newborn would wake up but Nicole was so good with her she slept through the whole shoot. The set up and props were absolutely beautiful. It was beyond what I expected. I can't wait to see the final products. If you are looking into newborn pics I highly recommend Nicole. You won't regret it. read more

I wanted to do something special for my fiancé and decided to gift her a maternity and newborn photoshoot. Upon researching, I stumbled on Nicole's yelp page which directed me to her website. The reviews on her is absolutely on point! This review will be for the maternity shoot. After few communications with her via email/text, we finally met on the day of the shoot. She was very personable and comforting towards my fiancé. My fiancé absolutely loved her and felt really comfortable because who likes a stranger telling you how to pose and snaps photos of you? She brought us to a very nice location which was a major plus! We booked the mini session and did not feel rushed what so ever. Who can take a better photo of a soon to be mom than a mom herself? She also has the most cutest daughter ever! We definitely can't wait for her to shoot our king soon. So an updated review will soon to be followed! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Nicole in a newborn photoshoot, I would recommend doing it with her because she has lots of experience with setting up babies in their cute stations! We love how our photos turned out! read more

I never thought I'd ever do this kind of session with my newborn. I'm a photographer myself and I thought I could do it. WRONG. I soon realised that it takes a lot of experience, care, love and patience to do this type of sessions. I decided to hire Nicole after searching and comparing different photographers. Her process is simple and her style is unique. She came up with different ideas for the session and she also was very kind in letting me decide whatever I wanted for each set (although I let her decide most of the time because I trusted her vision more than mine!) My baby was already 3 weeks old when we did the session. At that time she was going through a gassy phase and was most of the time awake and grunting a lot. I was scared I would waste my money but Nicole took all the time she needed to make it work. Now I have the most beautiful and adorable photos of Nora. read more

If you are looking for a photographer! Look no further! Not only is she a photographer but a baby whisperer! It is recommended to take newborn photos when babies are 6 weeks or less (wake up easy after) but my baby was almost 8 weeks. She still managed to keep her asleep while taking memorable photos! I also love that she uses natural light instead of artificial lighting. It just looks better! I plan to go back! read more
