Georgia Peach Turned Colorado Palisade

Hello! My name is Nicola (pronounced Ni-Kuh-Luh) and I’m a professional photographer with about 18 years experience that spans across digital, film and alternative photographic processes.

Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia I moved to Denver, Colorado 10 years ago to pursue my photography dreams full-time. I arrived in this city as a digital sports photographer that specialized in ice hockey but everything changed once I took my first wet plate workshop and I haven’t picked up a DSLR since.

I’ve had three mentors over the course of my career and all three are very special to me. Anne Caufmann, based out of Charleston, South Carolina who taught me everything I know about entry level photography, professional mannerisms and how to make photography a profitable career. Hector Acevedo from Denver, Colorado who is a legend in the sports world (his photography is all over the Ball Arena here in Denver) but he fine-tuned my mechanics to help me succeed as a sports photographer on the wire press. Last but certainly not least is Quinn Jacobson, also from Colorado, and one of the revivalists of the modern day wet plate collodion process. The education I received through taking one of Quinn’s workshops changed my life and I am grateful for his support along the way.

Through all of the training the most important thing to me is making memories for you that will last forever, to always make sure you feel comfortable, good in your skin and am willing to work with you until you’re 100% happy with what we make together. If you hire me I want you to know you have a photographer for life!
