We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Lovall and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I have always had a passion for photography since I was a teenager. Then the time finally presented itself where I was able to buy a professional camera. And I had the flexibility to start my own photography business. This was finally possible when we moved from Florida to Colorado. The beauty and diversity of Colorado motivated me to start my business.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am super blessed by my business Nicole Marie Photo. With just starting 6 months ago I have come so far, and I have had the pleasure of taking photos for so many wonderful people. At Nicole Marie Photo I love capturing special moments in time. Life is so short and moments go by so fast. I currently do family photos, portraits, newborn, engagement, weddings/elopements, and branding photo shoots. I am looking forward to the future and continuing to grow my business.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting I would first take her to Estes park. It’s such a beautiful mountain town with gorgeous views, great food, and hiking. Rocky Mountain national park has to be one of the highlights of Estes park. The beauty there is truly unmatched. I would then take her to explore the town of Longmont that I live in. We would walk around downtown, get a coffee at Ziggis, then go eat dinner at the roost.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’m so thankful for the love, support, and encouragement from my husband, family, and my friends. My husband has been my rock through it all, and even bought me my Nikon camera for our anniversary. He encouraged me so much with getting my business started and helped me in any way he could. He is blown away with how good my photos are and how many clients I have for just starting out. He is definitely my #1 fan. My family and friends have encouraged me to pursue my business as well and have let me take photos of them to practice when I first started. I just feel very blessed with my support system.
