HomeAbout
Hi, I'm Nick. You're in good hands.
I'm a Chicago photographer with over 20 years in fashion, advertising, and portrait work. Today I spend my days doing the part I love most: helping women see themselves the way the people who love them already do.

My job is to make you feel at ease.
Most of the women who walk into my studio have never had professional portraits taken. Many tell me they're "not photogenic." That's exactly why every session is fully guided: I'll coach you through every pose, angle, and expression, and the nerves usually last about five minutes.
Every session is respectful and entirely on your terms. Nothing gets shared without your okay. We start with a free style consultation, our professional artist handles your hair and makeup, and you see your finished portraits at a private reveal.
Years of fashion and advertising work taught me how light, styling, and direction change a photo. Portrait work taught me that none of it matters unless the woman in the picture recognizes herself, and likes what she sees.
What clients say
"It was very comfortable and easy to work with the Nicolas during the shoot. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm, which helped me feel confident in front of the camera. Nicolas guided me with posing, was very supportive, and created a pleasant vibe throughout the session. I was left with only positive impressions and beautiful photos."
"He is very respectful, kind, asks for your consent before posting pictures and has the best skills I've ever seen, my pictures always come out good! I definitely recommend."
"Nickolaus is absolutely wonderful! He made the whole experience so comfortable and empowering. From the very start, Nickolaus was kind and communicative. He asked questions, offered guidance, and listened to my goals; he cared about getting to know me so that I felt good from start to finish. And the photos are stunning and totally me! This was not something I ever really thought about doing but I am so glad I did and I'm so grateful to Nickolaus for giving me the space to see myself through such an incredible lens."
