Meet Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole McGrath — a photographer based in Fort Bragg, NC, with a love for capturing life as it truly is: honest, meaningful, and full of quiet beauty.
My photography style is candid and timeless. I’m drawn to the real moments — the in-between glances, natural laughter, and little details that often say the most. Whether it’s a portrait session or documenting a special milestone, my goal is always the same: to tell your story in a way that feels true to you.
I studied Communications and Public Relations at the University of Lynchburg, and over time, photography became a way for me to blend storytelling with creativity — and offer people something lasting. I find a lot of purpose in this work, and my personal faith plays a big role in how I see the world and the people in it. It’s part of what inspires me to approach every session with care, intention, and a desire to create something meaningful.
I’m also a bit of a goofball, and I do my best to make every shoot feel relaxed and fun. You don’t have to worry about posing perfectly — just show up as yourself, and I’ll take care of the rest.
I travel for sessions (travel fees vary based on distance), and I’d be honored to help tell your story. Feel free to browse my portfolio, and if my style speaks to you, I’d love to connect!
