Hi, I’m Nicole


Former dancer. Detail-oriented in a very Virgo way (don’t worry, it works in your favor). 

The photographer behind NehamaShots.


I’ve always been drawn to moments that feel alive.

Years of dance trained my eye for movement and timing, so I can feel when a moment’s about to happen and catch it before it’s gone.


And if you’re wondering, NehamaShots is pronounced Nuh-ha-ma-shots. The name comes from my grandma and my middle name, which is why every story I photograph means something to me.
