Michelle Nicoloff Photography

19 years ago I picked up a camera and it quickly became a passion of my mine. I’ve loved every part of my photography journey - and I’m so excited to share that after all these years of making images, I officially have a website. Not gonna lie, I’m kind of emotional about it. Now that my kids are a little grown up ( 😩)- I’m so excited to dedicate my time to my other love, PHOTOGRAPHY. It would make my heart so happy if you took a peak - and it would bring me immense joy if you considered me to photograph your family. I might be screaming “I’m officially for hire “ 😉

Michelle Nicoloff is a photographer who specializes in child and family photography as well as senior portrait photography in Orange County California and surrounding locations.

Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.

“Between the earth and the sky above, nothing can match a grandmother’s love” - author unknown ❤️. Today this beautiful grandmother of 26 plus grandkids (I lost count) is celebrating her 80th birthday. My mom passed away when I was 10 years old- no one will ever replace my mom - but I’m so thankful that this loving, kind, smart, beautiful, and incredibly strong woman LOVES me like a daughter. We are so blessed by her love and her very opinionated ways ( 😂). Happy Happy Birthday Angie! Cheers to many more ❤️

My senior girl opted out of attending “in person” school. So while her classmates had their first day back to school - she jumped in the ocean and learned the art of making underwater bubbles. Scroll through to see how she really feels about her senior year ;) ❤️

Thousands of fish, sting rays and beautiful light. I failed to capture it all, but I promise it was beyond magical ❤️

This summer day in Laguna felt like we escaped to a different part of the world. I will forever be in awe ❤️

To raise a child, who is comfortable enough to leave you, means you’ve done your job. They are not ours to keep, but to teach how to soar on their own. ~ author unknown
It’s surreal that my daughter is off to college. She’s SO ready and SO excited for this next chapter & that truly makes my heart incredibly happy. I’m not going to lie, I miss her presence,and it’s going to take a while to adjust to this new normal of her not living at home. But I know this next stage in our mother/daughter relationship will be beautiful. ❤️ I’m so thankful for our ocean swim last week ... the night before the big move. This image of US by captures the beginning of this next chapter so well. ❤️

My baby girl is a SENIOR! My final child in high school. I’ll be holding on extra tight to this year. I know all too well how quickly it goes. Thank you for this image. I cherish it. ❤️
