about me!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm Nora — a photographer with a love for capturing life as it truly feels. I’m drawn to the real stuff: the in-between moments, the true colors, and the stories that unfold naturally. My approach is all about documenting your day in an authentic, storytelling way so you can relive it exactly as it was.
A little about me — I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse with a degree in marketing and now work in the ever-changing world of advertising. Originally from Milwaukee, I spent a few years in Minneapolis before moving to Colorado Springs, where I get to soak in mountain views, fresh air, and endless outdoor adventures. I love working out, hiking, reading, traveling, and finding beauty in the simple things (and yes, probably taking too many photos along the way).
Since picking up my first camera in 2017, this passion has grown into something that means so much more than just photos — it’s about connection, storytelling, and preserving memories that feel honest and alive. Whether you’re in Colorado, the Midwest, or anywhere beyond, I’d be honored to capture your story next!

are we a perfect match?
do you love true-to-color photos that feel natural, timeless, and full of emotion?

are you drawn to movement, connection, and photos that feel like you?
what's it like working with NGM photography?
I’ll help with posing and prompts as needed, but my main goal is to make your session feel completely about you two. I want to get to know you, laugh with you, and be a friend — because the more comfortable you are, the better I can capture the real, honest moments that show who you are!
Your session isn’t just about taking photos — it’s about creating a relaxed space where you can be yourselves, move around, and enjoy the moment. I love tailoring each session to your personalities, your connection, and the story you want to tell. Together, we’ll explore locations, try little prompts, or just let things happen naturally, all while I’m quietly capturing those genuine, in-between moments you’ll love to relive forever.
