Nicole Leigh Photography Hey I’m Nicole, Crafter of intentional moments through authentic storytelling
* WILL TRAVEL
Booking 2025 + 2026 Weddings! Let's be friends Hello darlings!

My name is Nicole and I am 23 years old living in Ontario, Canada. I am married to my incredibly handsome husband, Mike. We have a marriage blog over at www.ourthreestrands.com- to learn more about "us" you can check us out there. My husband would describe me as "the typical TOURIST," becuase I've always got a camera in my hand. While I own my own business in the Travel Industry from home, I am also passionate about capturing emotion through the lens and expressing stories through cinemetography and photography. I Recently discovered this love for photography and film. A dream that was always inside of me, just waiting to come out in God's perfect timing. I've had a lot of confirmation these last couple months but have been fighting with it on the inside. Only to come to realize that you can't change what gifts God has given you, eventually he pulls them out of you. I love taking pictures and freezing the one thing that is always always changing and moving- which is time,. Change is the only "constant" thing. Its inevitable , no matter what we all go through change. So I have found one of my happy places in capturing a moment that will be frozen in time, a moment and a memory that can tell a thousand words so that we may never forget where this life has taken us and the moments and the people that have impacted us greatly. I would love to get to know you so don't be afraid to wave over the social medias or ask to grab coffee! xo

I had to keep this one in the gallery.

On a more serious note,

A big part of their ceremony the officiant spoke about how love is the colour blue, so it was only fitting that the sky that surrounded them on their special day was bright blue.

It was an honour hanging out with this beautiful family and documenting this special day as it unfolded.

Photographer imposter syndrome is REAL. 🎞️

If you constantly:
• downplay your good work
• compare your portfolio to everyone else’s
• feel like you should be further ahead
• or struggle to believe your clients when they tell you they love their photos…

You might be listening to that little voice a little too much. 😅

Try this instead:

✨ Look back at your old work and acknowledge your growth.
✨ Curate your feed to inspire you, not discourage you.
✨ Measure your progress against YOUR past self.
✨ Save your client reviews and kind messages for the days self-doubt gets loud.

You don’t have to believe you’re the best photographer in the world to believe you’re a good photographer.

You can still have room to grow AND be proud of where you are. 🤍

Consider this your permission slip to stop moving the goalpost.

I think some art is inherited.

Not always in the form of paintings passed down through generations, like the paintings that line my walls, created by my great-grandmother before I ever knew her…

Sometimes it is inherited as a love that refuses to disappear.

My mother loved photography long before I understood what it meant to make a life from it.

She got her first camera around nine years old. Took courses. Worked at a photo shop. Bought her first 35mm at eighteen. Even photographed a wedding. She dreamed of going away to study photography, but life, as it sometimes does, asked her to put that dream down.

Decades later, somehow, it found its way back into our family.

Through me.

When I photograph, I think I am doing more than documenting what is in front of me.

I am carrying something forward.

The natural instinct to preserve what disappears and the belief that an ordinary moment can become priceless simply because we chose to notice it.

Maybe that is why I have always been drawn to photographs that feel lived in rather than constructed.

I photograph the things we cannot keep, so we can keep them somehow.

I don’t think I fully understood the weight of that until my dad died unexpectedly nine months ago.

There will never be another photograph of him.

What I have of him now is what already exists, a finite collection of photographs that suddenly became priceless over night.

And I will always wish there were more.

That changed me.

Because now I understand, in a way I never wanted to, that photographs aren’t just photographs.

They are evidence that we were here.
They are pieces of people we can hold onto when we can no longer hold onto the people themselves.

I don’t photograph perfection.

I photograph existence.

The ordinary.

Because one day, these photographs may bring someone back to a room, a face, a hand, a voice, a season of their life they thought they had forgotten.

I’m not here to make beautiful photographs.

I’m here to make something that lasts.

Something that outlives the moments and the people we will never get back.
