NICOLE LESPERANCE
Photographer & Assistant Coordinator
​
Nicole is a true creative enthusiast. After working as an Early Childhood Educator for a decade, she recently left her full-time career to work for The Old Mill and expand her photography and graphic design business. Ansel Adams' artwork jump-started Nicole's passion from a young age, inspiring her to take rustic and high-contrast black and white pictures out in the county where she grew up. Developing the travel bug in her early 20s drove Nicole to buy her first camera, bringing it on vacation to photograph the local scenery and architecture. It wasn't until she went back to school in her late 20s for graphic design that she finally decided to pursue photography as a career, falling in love with bonding with families and couples and capturing their love stories through the lens.
