Hello! My name is Nicole, and I'm a native Torontonian. I always had a passion for photography since I was 13 when I entered a school photo contest and came home with a first prize ribbon. My passion for pet photography began when I worked at a horse farm in Markham and kept going. In 2015, I acquired my first DSLR, a Nikon D60 and ventured into pet portraiture by attending various dog events. I took a course at Hart House in Toronto to refine my photo skills in 2015 and attended the Photography 1 course at George Brown College in 2021.
