Hi, I’m Nicole—a photographer with two decades of experience and a deep love for storytelling through images. I started out as Nicole Martin Photography, chasing sunsets, wild creatures, and blooming petals. Then I discovered something even more magical: people. These days, under my new name Bear Hugs Photography, I focus on capturing real moments—soft glances, belly laughs, and the kind of smiles that only come out when you’re being your wonderfully silly self. After a short break during COVID, I’m back doing what I love most: helping folks feel seen, celebrated, and beautifully themselves.
