Your family's story deserves to be remembered beautifully.
Serving families throughout West Michigan with timeless newborn, maternity, and family photography.
Meet The Photographer.
Hi, I'm Nicole!
My style is candid, romantic, and authentic, capturing the real moments that tell your story. From belly laughs and windblown hair to the quiet connections between the people you love most, I believe the best photos happen naturally.
My love for photography began in high school and grew into Wild Ivy Studio in 2023, built on the idea of preserving life's beautifully ordinary moments.
As a mom of three (including twins!), a roller derby player and referee, and someone who thrives in a little chaos, I know how to keep sessions relaxed, fun, and genuine. Clients often tell me they leave feeling comfortable, and that's exactly what I hope for.
I can't wait to meet you and tell your story, one frame at a time.

Planning with Purpose
Every session begins long before the camera comes out. From selecting the perfect location to choosing outfits and preparing your family, you'll have guidance every step of the way so nothing feels left to chance.
The Wild Ivy Experience
From the moment you inquire to the day your photographs are displayed in your home, every step is designed to feel effortless, personal, and thoughtfully guided.
A Calm Experience
The best photographs happen when you can simply be present. My sessions are relaxed, child-friendly, and gently guided so everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy the moment.Real moments over perfect poses
Memories Made to Last
Your gallery is only the beginning. From handcrafted albums to beautiful wall art, your photographs are meant to become part of your home and your family's story for years to come.
Because beautiful photographs begin with an experience that feels just as meaningful as the memories you're creating.
The little moments become the ones you'll treasure most.
KIND WORDS
An experience families love as much as their photographs.
“We had such an amazing experience working with Wild Ivy Studios! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish—extremely communicative, professional, and always there to guide us through the process. She made everything feel easy and comfortable, and her creativity really stood out. Most importantly, she captured the moment so perfectly and gave us memories that we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Wild Ivy Studios to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about capturing those special moments!”
— Timothy & Jess“We had such a wonderful experience working with Nicole at Wild Ivy Studio for our "save the date" and 'kind-of-engagement photos!' From the moment we arrived, she made the whole process feel incredibly comfortable and seamless. I usually feel super awkward in front of the camera, but Nicole made it surprisingly fun—and I actually ended up enjoying the shoot!
She was incredibly efficient and creative, making use of every backdrop available and guiding us through natural, candid moments. In just a 30-minute session, she managed to capture around 60 amazing photographs that we absolutely love.
The booking process is extremely easy and Nicole is always every prompt with responses allowing for easy communication.
If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed, and memorable photo session with someone who really knows how to bring out the best in you, I’d definitely recommend Nicole. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!”
