Hi, I’m Nicole Scoggins!
Portrait photographer and luxury photobooth owner at Dear Nicole Photography

As a long-time cosplayer, I’ve been on the other side of the camera for years. I’ve learned what makes a photoshoot an enjoyable experience, how to pose, and what I love from a photographer. A photoshoot should be fun! You should feel like a million bucks. As a photographer, my goal is to make hype you up and deliver photos you’ll love for years to come.

I’ve always loved photobooths; whenever I’d pass one in the mall as a teen, I’d have to stop and take a picture. I save every photobooth photo I take; it’s so fun to come across those pictures used as bookmarks years later, or decorated on a page in my scrapbook, or proudly displayed on my fridge. I’m immediately brought back to the fun of the event I took the photo at. As a 2026 bride, I created my own photobooth experience for my guests and it was a HIT. I’ve now taken that photobooth experience to several more weddings and corporate events, and would love to take it to your event too!

I can’t wait to work with you, create beautiful art, and through my photography and open-air photobooths, help you capture and cherish those moments forever.

xoxo, Nicole
