Nicole has captured some of our most special memories, and I couldn’t be more thankful for her! She took the sweetest photos of my girls when we first moved into our new house, and then again at Christmas—and each time, she somehow topped the last. Our summer maternity shoot was extra special, and Nicole made it feel so relaxed and natural (even with kids running around!). Her photos are beautiful, timeless, and full of heart. I’ll treasure them forever.

Nicole has done countless lifestyle shoots for our new apparel releases. In addition to her talent (which you'll find demonstrated through her portfolio), she is super easy to work with, professional, communicative, and delivers consistently quality and prompt results.

The second time we worked with Nicole was at our business. We own an Irish pub in Pittsburgh. Nicole came in for an hour on a Sunday afternoon and was able to perfectly capture the essence of the pub. I was amazed she was able to focus on everything we love about our pub in such a short time. She highlighted little details around the space, the patrons, the product, and again....got a few great shots of our daughter during the process. My biggest take away from working with Nicole is that she makes it a truly effortless experience for her clients. She has an eye for detail and she gets the job done efficiently, professionally, and does an outstanding job.

I've had the pleasure of being lensed twice by Nicole, for both an intimate portrait session and larger-scale family celebration. Nicole is engaged, open, and welcoming. Her presence is calm and unobtrusive yet she never misses a moment. The best part of working with Nicole is receiving your images - always richly composed, bursting with layers of detail, and enriched with specificity and care. She is a keen observer of the human condition and hones in on the simple, meaningful interactions that make friends friends and family family.

I've had the joy of working with Nicole both personally and professionally, and each time has been a truly meaningful experience. Years ago, she captured a special moment in my life, and those photos still feel magical to this day. Her artistic eye and warm presence made me feel instantly at ease in front of the camera.

We’ve been working with Nicole Gordon for 7 years now, and she’s become such a special part of our family’s story. Every year, she somehow captures the perfect mix of real moments and beautiful portraits—and always with so much patience, creativity, and fun. Our kids adore her, and she has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. It’s been amazing to look back and see how our family has grown through her lens. Her work is always high quality, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to treasure.

Working with Nicole is truly a joy! As a longtime friend, I already knew she was incredibly talented, but experiencing one of her photo sessions firsthand blew me away. She took branding photos for me, and not only did they turn out amazing—the entire experience was genuinely fun and effortless.

Nicole has this incredible ability to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We laughed so much during the shoot, it felt more like hanging out than a photoshoot. She captures natural, authentic moments that truly reflect your personality—and it shows in every photo.

If you're looking for someone who’s not only skilled behind the camera but also brings good energy and warmth to the entire experience, Nicole is your girl.

We have worked with Nicole a few times and each time has been an easy and enjoyable experience that yields an incredible result.  We were gifted a family session with Nicole after the birth of our daughter. We wanted to have the photos taken outside, which can be unpredictable with Pittsburgh weather. Nicole was so flexible and worked with our schedules to reschedule a few times when rain showed up last minute. We eventually got a day with only a little rain and, of course, our daughter cried the whole time. Nicole's calm manner put us at ease and she was somehow able to get the most beautiful shots of our daughter despite her crying the majority of the time.  The whole experience felt very natural and not awkward at all. We have these photos on our wall at home and will cherish them forever.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nicole multiple times over the years and have always been obsessed with how the photos turn out. She does an amazing job of making you feel comfortable and collaborating with your vision. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Nicole is a whole vibe to work with! We were instantly comfortable during our engagement shoot thanks to her warm personality, and her creativity and collaboration skills are unmatched. Not only do we treasure our photos, we treasure the memory of our session which was full of ideas, laughs and love!

Nicole is our go-to photographer for family photos! She is reliable, personable, and amazingly talented. Most importantly, she is great with our toddler and knows exactly how to pull the best smiles out.

I first met Nicole while visiting Old Thunder Brewing, where she was working at the time. We struck up a conversation, and not long after, I had the privilege of helping her buy her first home. Little did I know then just how incredibly talented she was behind the lens.

Fast forward to my son’s senior photo session—Nicole was my first call. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning—authentic, creative, and full of personality. I was so impressed that I invited her to photograph all of the Realtors on my team at a special headshot event I hosted. 

We brought in hairstylists and makeup artists, and Nicole made everyone feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready. She delivered multiple poses in both color and black-and-white for each agent, and every single one of them was thrilled with the results. 

Nicole Gordon Photography is the perfect blend of artistry, professionalism, and heart. Whether you're looking for senior portraits, headshots, or something more creative, I can’t recommend Nicole enough. Her work is next-level.

Nicole took both candid and posed photos for my family of four. Throughout our time together, she made my usually quiet and awkward crew feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera with her warm and relaxed style. She took time to talk and joke with my kids and was able to capture their personalities as a result. I was blown away by the family portraits, and the candid shots are memories we will cherish forever. She was professional, kind, and adaptable throughout our session. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

It was a joy to work with Nicole for our family photos this past October. She made the whole experience feel laid back and easy, and captured the most genuine photos that reflected who we are as a family - exactly what we were looking for. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for photos that feel natural, authentic, and true-to-life.

Nicole is our go to photographer for family pictures and milestone photos. She is easy to work with and has a way of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is punctual, professional, and always gets the pictures back to us in a timely manner. She gets bonus points for getting smiles out of our daughter and bringing calming energy to our crazy dog. We are so appreciative of the services that Nicole offers!
