I remember Nicole speaking about her battle with breast cancer at one of the Susan G Komen events. She was an inspiration and as a breast cancer survivor myself my heart goes out to her family at this time. She will be missed by all who knew her. I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember Nicole from 5 years ago when our twin girls were in the NICU with Chance and Chloe. I am so sorry to hear of her passing and am sending my thoughts and prayers to her entire family. She was always a caring, friendly, and energetic person. Heaven has a beautiful angel now....

I only met Nicole once prior to her passing, as her nurse with hospice. Then I had a short opportunity to visit with Mark and Nicole's mother after she passed. In the brief time I spent with this family; it is with great compassion and honor that her legacy will be a corner stone for her husband and children to remember. She left memories and as a photographer, captured the beauty of her family in her photos she took, may this be a treasured blessing for her children when they are older and for Mark. Sincerely, Rowena H

I am so sorry for your loss. Nicole was an amazing photographer who captured my daughter Emilia's first year. She was always so patient and caring. She definitely left a lasting impression and I think of her often. My thoughts are with your family.
