KAMLOOPS MOTHERHOOD, BIRTH, & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

STORYTELLER. MEMORY KEEPER.

Welcome. Thank you for being here.

I’m a lifestyle photographer based out of Kamloops, BC. My area of expertise is family and intimate motherhood photography since my greatest joy is capturing nude mama bumps, tender skin-on-skin moments, and those little moments of connection we want to hold tight and freeze in time. I often describe my photography as relaxed, free-flowing, and fun because I don’t take things too seriously and I love to facilitate an organic and genuine environment for you and your kiddos to play.

It is truly my pleasure to capture your family’s unique connection and to create images that reflect you as you are.

Although born and raised on Vancouver Island, generations of my family have called Kamloops home. Relocating to Kamloops has felt like a coming-of-home story. To be part of the Kamloops photography community has been a wonderful way to expand and evolve my art; as well as a means of integrating myself with Kamloops mamas and families.
My Purpose.
I aim to offer you a memorable photography experience, whether that be a family or motherhood focused session. The camera is an extension of me, my heart and soul, and I am forever grateful for your trust in preserving your memories in an artful way. Photography has been a big piece of my own healing, and in telling your stories, I have healed parts of mine. I am so lucky to share in such beautiful milestones with you all. Thank you for being here.

“Loved our family photo session with Nicole. She was patient and gentle with the children and captured the most incredible shots, even with children who weren’t always the most cooperative. I couldn’t have asked for a better family photo session. We will definitely book with Nicole again. Nicole’s photos were used on our Christmas cards and for multiple family gifts this year. The quality was amazing, even when blown up super large!! Thanks, Nicole Buddin Photography for capturing memories with my children that will last a lifetime!!”

“Nicole is wonderful at capturing family love! And she is just so much fun to be with as well. I will be displaying a large print in my new home!”
-Pearl
“Nicole was wonderful to work with and made me feel so comfortable during my maternity shoot. I used a dress from her client closet which also took away so much stress of finding the perfect thing to wear. The photos turned out amazing and I am so glad I chose her to capture this experience for me.”
-Tosh
“How does one person manage to relate to a 13-year-old girl, a 20-year old, an anxious mom, and a 6-year old boy who can't sit still and insists on hamming it up during a family photo session? I'm not sure, but Nicole sure does, with flawless professionalism and patience, fun and spontaneity. I couldn't have been more impressed before, during, and after the shoot. Thank you, I'll be booking again!”
-Emily
“Nicole was such a delight to work with! And the photographs really speak for themselves. She is talented, patient and will get the shot! We managed to miss a storm and it gave us such a magical backdrop, she made it work. Absolutely recommend and will be doing more shoots in the future!”
-Vanessa
“Nicole is an incredible photographer and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could not have asked for a better experience or better photos. Cannot wait to do more shoots with her in the future !! Highly recommend!”

These sessions speak to my soul. I could document expecting mamas every day and be happy. If you’re willing, showing skin during your maternity session is a great way to convey emotion and vulnerability in your images. I am forever grateful for all maternity inquiries, and recognize that these sessions document your transition to motherhood.
