MEET NICOLE

Hi, I’m Nicole, the photographer and heart behind Wild Joy Photos. Born and raised in Australia, I spent the last 16 years living in New York City, Los Angeles, and traveling across 46 countries with my camera in hand. My love for adventure, whether skydiving, freediving, hiking, or exploring remote landscapes, inspires the way I capture stories: full of movement, connection, and authenticity.

I live by the belief that “how you spend your days is how you spend your life”. Photography is my tool to capture those days—the candid smiles, the big milestones, and the quiet in-between moments—so you can look back and see the life you’ve built reflected in your images.

I’ve worked with global brands and creative teams through my commercial studio, Wild Joy Studio, but Wild Joy Photos is my passion project—a space where I get to celebrate real love stories, family connections, and once-in-a-lifetime milestones.

Whether I’m photographing a barefoot elopement in the mountains, a cozy in-home family session, or an epic wedding celebration, my mission is to create images that feel deeply you.
