the girl behind the camera
Welcome to my website! My name is Nicole and I'm a photographer, art director, location scouter, fashion advisor and anything you need me to be in order to be able to capture the perfect picture!
I started photography after I got my first camera at the age of 12- and I never looked back since! I now travel all over Cyprus, creating photos that you will cherish forever. I love capturing natural moments and big milestones in people's lives.
Although I'm usually behind the camera, I'm sharing with you a few photos of me - and as a picture is worth a thousand words, you're about to learn a lot about me!

When should I schedule my newborn session for?Consider aiming for a newborn session within the first two weeks of the baby's arrival to capture those dreamy sleepy shots! However, since my approach to newborn photography is more lifestyle, allowing us to create stunning shots filled with authentic moments, regardless of the baby's age or whether they are asleep or awake.
-
Do you travel for photoshoots?I cover Larnaca at no extra cost. A travel fee may apply for sessions outside Larnaca.
-
I have a date. What's next?Once we've settled on a date and confirmed its availability, I'll send you a booking email containing a contract and an invoice. Your session will be officially booked once you've read, signed the contract, and paid the 50% deposit. Please note that dates/prices cannot be reserved without the deposit.
-
What should we wear?Once you book, you will receive a comprehensive styling guide as well as personalised styling assistance with me! I also offer a variety of options through my client closet.
-
Do you have a studio?I have a lifestyle studio located in Larnaca. It is a space designed for your comfort and ease with a lot of warmth, textures and light that help create beautiful and timeless photos. It is not the traditional studio with a simple backdrop - think rugs, cushions, blankets, curtains that give a more homey feel!
-
Do you deliver all photographs?Part of my service is to go through all the photos from the session and eliminate test shots, duplicate shots, out of focus shots, shots with bad expressions (e.g. blinking). I have no reason to delete any images you would enjoy!
-
Can you make me look slimmer or alter my appearance?Your final photos will be subtly airbrushed. I will even out skin texture, lightly smoothen wrinkles/fine lines and edit out any spots, bruises and wounds. I will not be altering body or facial features or editing out any beauty marks or scars as that is what make you, YOU! I want to capture you in the most authentic and real way, embracing all your perfect imperfections and making you feel beautiful the way you are.
-
Will my photos be shared online?The sole way I market my photography services (and probably how you found me!) is the internet, and I rely on sharing my photography to bring in new clients. Therefore, upon signing the contract, you agree that all photos can be used for marketing purposes whether that's online or offline (e.g. website, social media, studio print samples, etc.). Please be assured that unless told otherwise, I will not tag you in any pictures as a way to protect your privacy! Please make it clear in your initial contact email if you would not like me to publish any of your photos and let me know the reason.
-
Can I get the raw/unedited photos?The editing process is a big part of my photography style, and is half the magic! Without this step, the images are halfway done, so because of this, I do not provide the raw files.
-
What if my kids are not cooperative?It's completely normal for kids to be energetic and sometimes uncooperative during a photo session, but do not worry! I have experience with children and know how to engage them. I'll create a relaxed environment, play with them, and be patient. Candid and authentic moments often make the best photos. Let's have fun and embrace the chaos!
-
When should I schedule my maternity session for?It's advisable to plan your photoshoot for around the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy. At this stage, your baby bump will have a beautiful, rounded shape without causing you extreme discomfort like the final weeks of pregnancy might.

A proof gallery is a watermarked online gallery containing all of all the best photos from our session, edited, where you can select your favourite ones for download.

-
Do you photoshop the photos? Can you make me look slimmer, change my nose shape, etc.?Your final photos will be subtly airbrushed.

I want to capture this big moment in your life in an authentic and real way, embracing all your perfect imperfections and making you feel beautiful the way you are.
-
When should I schedule my newborn session for?Try to schedule your newborn session when the baby is up to 2 weeks old to get those dreamy sleepy shots! However, since my approach to newborn photography is more lifestyle, we can get some beautiful candid shots no matter the age, whether they are asleep or awake!

A proof gallery is a watermarked online gallery containing all of all the best photos from our session softly edited, where you can select your favourite ones for download. You can select more than your package includes for an extra fee of 10EUR per photo. Once you have selected these, I will add the final touches (e.g. removing people or objects in the background, erasing acne or scars, lightly smoothen skin, etc.). I will then send you the final gallery, ready to download in high resolution and without a watermark.
-
Do the packages include printed photos?No, all my packages include digital photos only. This way, once you receive your online gallery, you can purchase the exact quantity and size of prints you want (if any)!

I have no reason to keep hold of any images you would enjoy!

-
When will I receive my photos and video?Your gallery will be ready within 6-8 weeks after the Christening.

-
Do you take formal group shots?Yes! Although my approach focuses on candid moments and capturing memories, christenings are such a great opportunity to get some formal photos of you with your family and friends. These normally happen right after the ceremony and follow a group photo list given to me in advance by the parents to make sure no one is missed and that the process runs as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Please make it clear in your initial contact email if you would not like me to publish any of your photos and let me know the reason.
-
Will I receive the full ceremony video?At this moment, we do not offer a video of the full ceremony, only an edited 8-10 minute cinematic highlights film.
-
Do the packages include printed photos?No, all my packages include digital photos only. This way, once you receive your online gallery, you can purchase the exact quantity and size of prints you want (if any)!

Choosing earlier dates allows for more time to place your orders and ensures you receive everything in time for the holidays.
