I can’t begin to explain how excited I am to be sharing this incredible branding session with you today! Nichole is one of the most wonderful people I know. I’m still just blown away she asked me to capture her branding portraits. She’s literally the sweetest hair and makeup artist I’ve ever had the chance to work with. Nichole is the owner of NPH Artistry here in Nashville, TN. She helps so many people feel their most beautiful! Is there a better job?! And I’m thrilled that she wanted to update her own portraits to share about her business.
We decided to have her branding session at the Graduate Hotel and truly couldn’t have picked a better spot for these portraits! If you’ve never been to the Nashville Graduate Hotel, you have GOT to go. It’s such a fun place – with lots of colors, textures, and vibes, it’s a literal dream come true. The hotel here in Nashville is actually inspired by Dolly Parton (so many heart eyes!) and I loved every minute of our session there.
Nichole’s Nashville Graduate Hotel branding session was extra special to me because she is actually the makeup artist I work with for my own business. I recommend her to all of my family and branding clients and she’s always incredible. Honestly, I hope that I did her and her amazing business justice with her branding session. I had a blast watching her in her element, and capturing portraits that show who she is behind the brush. We even got to squeeze in some portraits with her husband and adorable pup! Nichole, thank you for trusting me with these portraits! I hope you love them as much as I do and I can’t wait to see how you use them in your business!
