Hey, I’m Becky — And I See You

I know exactly where you are right now, because I’ve stood there too.

I’m a mom who has watched her own children graduate and step into their independent lives. I know that quiet ache in your chest when you realize time is no longer crawling, it’s flying. I know what it feels like to wish you could press pause, even just once more.

I’m also a woman who prioritized everyone else’s story before my own. I delayed. I justified. I minimized myself in the name of being responsible, practical, and busy. Until I realized I deserved to exist in the story too.

And I’m also a business owner who understands the pressure you carry, the weight of showing up professionally, building trust, and standing out in a world filled with shortcuts and surface-level impressions.

So when I say I understand what you’re navigating… I mean it.

For over 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing people during the moments that matter most. Not simply taking pictures, but creating refined, heirloom artwork that captures who you are right now, in this exact season of your life.

This is not about stiff poses or forced smiles. It’s about an experience crafted with intention. It’s about thoughtful planning, expert guidance, and meticulous attention to detail. It’s about you feeling confident, seen, and beautifully at ease.

I work with a limited number of clients each month — not to be exclusive, but to be fully present. When you step into my studio, you are not “another session.” You are the focus. You are the story. You are the art.

And if there’s a quiet voice inside you whispering, “Maybe it’s time…” — I want you to trust it.

You don’t need to wait. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

Step behind the lens and experience the signature guidance, creativity, and uncompromising attention to detail that sets every Becky Nichols Portrait session apart.

Now that you understand our approach, discover the portrait experience designed for you.

Select Your Signature Portrait Experience

  • A woman with long wavy hair wearing a white outfit, smiling with hands on her hips.

    Headshots & Professional Business Branding

    Listen, I run a business too, and I know what it feels like to juggle everything while quietly wondering if your brand is truly reflecting your level of expertise. In a world filled with AI headshots and generic stock images, blending in is easy, but building trust is not. Let’s create strategic, polished imagery that communicates your authority, credibility, and approachability the moment someone finds you, because the right images don’t just represent your business, they elevate it.

  • A woman standing against a plain background, wearing a black halter top, black pants, and black high-heeled sandals, with jewelry including earrings, a long necklace, rings, and a bracelet.

    Women's Portrait Experience

    Let me speak to you directly: you’ve spent years building, nurturing, supporting, leading, showing up for everyone else, but when was the last time you showed up for yourself?

    If you’ve been hiding from the camera, waiting to feel more confident, telling yourself “not yet,” hear this: you do not need to change to be worthy of being seen. You are powerful now. Beautiful now. Enough now.

  • A woman in a striped dress smiling in a green rowboat on a calm river, decorated with a large colorful bouquet of flowers and a lantern, with trees in the background during golden hour.

    High School Senior Portrait Experience

    Mom, I know this season — loud, busy, exciting, and quietly emotional all at once. One minute you’re scheduling senior year activities, and the next you’re wondering how you’re already here. This isn’t just about photographs; it’s about pausing time long enough to truly see who your senior is right now, their personality, their confidence, the beautiful space between the child you raised and the adult they’re becoming. And as a mom who has stood exactly where you are, I promise you, this matters more than you realize.
