O M G !! Thank you Nicole but the true beauty is behind the camera! I could have never pulled off any of this off without you and your team. I was treated like royalty all day and you went above and beyond my expectations. I literally had zero anxiety having worked with you before but also because you exude a calmness that is contagious and I love that. The studio feels cozy and yet sexy. I felt safe, beautiful, encouraged and most of all I had fun! I have complete trust in you when it comes to photographing me for business, for fun or an archival shoot like this to celebrate me at 50yrs old! Thank you for all you do for me and all women! God Bless you for giving us that moment in time we will never ever forget thanks to your talent and skills! Love you Nicole!

Absolutely LOVED everything about working with Nicole! She made both my daughters feel very comfortable and beautiful! Their senior pics tuned out better than expected. Her turn around time was also excellent and we had our pics in time for graduation parties. She is someone who makes you feel like family and is a truly humble, hard working and a kind individual. I highly recommend Nicole Gates for all your photography needs!

Working with Nicole and her team was a once in a lifetime exceptional experience. It was an investment in personal growth, personal exploration and pushing myself outside of my personal comfort zone. Her ability to listen to what s not said and respond in the most attentive and beautiful way is a unique skill that brings out the most amazing results in her customers. She s an incredibly skilled photographer who s professionalism and results are unmatched.

Nicole was AMAZING. The whole experience was unbelievably amazing! She makes you feel like the most important and most beautiful woman in the world for the entire day. She was incredible at preparing me for the day, preparing and planning my outfits, and has an awesome makeup and hair artist help you prepare. I am so grateful for that day and how she made me feel. The photos and the album are things I will treasure forever!

Nicoles passion for her craft is only surpassed by the quality of the art she creates for her clients. If you can appreciate that level of service, than you too will enjoy being photographed by by Nicole. Look no further.

I was really looking forward to a photo shoot with Nicole, as I had heard wonderful things about her photography. Initially, she responded to my inquiry, which gave me hope. However, after that, I never heard back despite multiple attempts to follow up. Being left hanging was quite disappointing. While I understand that photographers can be busy, customer service is crucial, no matter how stunning the photos may be. Effective communication is key to ensuring a positive experience for clients. After being left in limbo, I ultimately decided to reach out to someone else for my photography needs. I hope this serves as a reminder for potential customers to consider not just the quality of the work, but also the responsiveness of the photographer. It s a shame, as I was genuinely excited about working with her.

Nicole is truly talented, and she understands what it means to capture a womans true beauty. Her sessions are incredibly curated and tailored to make sure you get images that meet and exceed your vision. I loved how she took all of the guesswork out of the preparation so that the day of the shoot was pure fun and zero stress. The hardest part is choosing which images you love the most!

What did she not do?! Over all amazing supermodel for a day experience. Takes the ideas you want captured, adds some of her own spice and magic! you belong on the cover of a magazine. Not only is her work beautiful, she is a wonderful person, great to work with and very professional. Never once did I feel judged for wanting to change a pose or feeling uncomfortable. Then she has someone do your hair and make up and she is just as amazing! You will not be disappointed.

First, let me start off with the fact that I hate having my picture taken and never been the most confident in my appearance. I was so apprehensive about the whole idea. Nicole was so nuturing and guided me from consultation to a True Supermodel Photoshoot experience to the big reveal. It is a process but you will be grateful for the process. She is a true artist. More than that, she is a woman that truly cares about the story her art depicts - the person in front of her lense. The day after my shoot, I saw myself differently. That was something I didnt expect. I finally saw a beautiful woman looking back at me in the mirror. As for the photos, I couldnt believe amazing and breathtaking they all were. We wanted them all. She does give you more than plenty to choose from. Choosing which ones to go home was absolutely the hardest part. I will forever be grateful for the experience. Nicole Gates is our little Valleys diamond but the world deserves to know her name.

Nicole brings out the best qualities in her clients and really gets to know them and makes the experience an amazing one. Her impeccable desire and passion for what she does shines through during the session from poses to make up and lighting down to customizing the experience to the individual. Her photos are amazing and she manages to take her time and create the most beautiful setting and captures the moment at just the right time. My daughter had the best time with Nicole and made memories of her senior year and dance in photos that will last forever. We are forever grateful for the experience

An amazing experience from the moment we set foot in her studio. Nicole has a sign with our names (I love that she took the time), and the music playing in the background was very inspiring during the session. I especially loved the way she made us feel absolutely gorgeous! Our portraits are a beautiful reminder of the fabulous day we spent with Nicole. I can t wait to do it again.

Getting your photo taken by Nicole Gates is a one of a kind experience. Her attention to detail, true passion and expertise for creating beautiful images is unrivaled. She made me feel comfortable and at ease from the second I got in front of the camera. The images she captured of me that day are stunning and we had a blast playing around with outfit changes, different hair and makeup to create several unforgettable looks. Above all, she made me see a side of myself I didn t think existed anymore. As a very busy mom of two young boys, I tend to be the one behind the camera, capturing memories of them. After I saw the pictures Nicole Gates and I created that day, I saw myself in a totally different light. She made me feel like a total goddess and reminded me that going through motherhood can still be Vogue cover worthy.
