24.01.2022 What a way to get back into it for the new year than by shooting with one of my fav clients @kyliefraser today Hitting the ground running, creating content for some key brands, and having a few laughs along the way A great way to kick off #ladystartuptuesday for 2020 I think. This woman encapsulates everything a #girlboss is about, she's smart, fierce, is a wonderful mum and is one of the faces behind @sableanddixie ... Can't wait to see what this treat had in store for her #nicolepasphotography

24.01.2022 P O P Y O U R L I P S September is a big month, particularly when it comes to mental health awareness. And given the state of things, its more important than EVER to open the doors to normalising mental health discussions I'm beyond proud to be supporting my dear friend @melinabagnato in her #popyourlips campaign this month. She's the ambassador for @liptember and has released an amazing range of tees, from which $5 from each sale will go towards their campaign. So l...et's help her get to $10k by jumping over to @stylemeover and buying a tee (or two, or three like me!) #nicolepasphotography #liptember See more

24.01.2022 This week had bought so much promise of new beginnings.... ring of steel is down, we're getting closer to summer and pretty soon we'll be back to celebrating life together There's nothing better after the year we've had #nicolepasphotography

24.01.2022 Biz Besties Do you know the one thing that had helped me through all these years of building and growing my business?! The amazing tribe of fellow biz friends that I've made along the way... The women who are going through the same thing I am, experiencing the same challenges, learning from the same mistakes, and sharing in the same wins They are my cheerleaders, my trusted advisers and most importantly, the friends I wouldn't have met, if it weren't for my self belief that I could do this crazy #smallbizlife Tag your #bizbestie below and share why you love them! I'll tag mine too #nicolepasphotography

23.01.2022 I have no words.... only tears, prayers and hope I know so many of us have been glued to our tv's, socials, radios, anything to keep updated on the progress of the most severe devastation our country had seen in a LONG time. And I know we all want to do SOMETHING to help... . I know most outlets are seeking for monetary donations rather than food and clothing as in the immediate, this will have the most impact. So I urge all my amazing insta tribe to donate what they can... e...ven if it's $1. I've listed singe of the best places to donate below. Me, I pledge to donate 15% of my earnings for the entire month of January to the @cfavic So, if you've been putting off booking in that family shoot or branding shoot, NOW is the time to do it Image via @stoll_photography @cfavic @redcrossau @salvosau @rspcaaustralia #prayforaustralia

23.01.2022 With the announcement today, I think we were all left feeling down, even though we knew it was coming Instead of wallowing and feeling down, I picked up my camera, went outside and got creative One of the positives of lockdown...it forces you to do things you wouldn’t normally do with your day... This was so cathartic and fed my drive to shoot for me. It’s also reignited a dream I had last year, to create a series of prints.... Just as the future for small biz remains in limbo, let’s watch this space and see where my creative streak leads #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

22.01.2022 FAMILY AFFAIR Not only are the owners and creators of @thehealthhaven.aus absolute #couplegoals but they have the cutest family to boot! Couldn't resist snapping a few candid family photos for them, because family really is everything ... #nicolepasphotography @ The Health Haven See more

21.01.2022 I tell you what, given the craziness that had been 2020, I'm so glad we're finally at the BEST point of the year.... Yep, cocktail season *jokes* Christmas and the holiday season are legit my favourite. Putting up our tree, lights, Toast the Elf (for those playing along in my stories), even shopping for gifts. It honestly fills my heart with joy ... And now that we can ACTUALLY come together (in small groups) to celebrate.....priceless Hold your loved ones close, cherish all this season has to offer, keep your cool at shopping centre carparks and above all else, make yourself a cocktail and celebrate all that you have This ADORABLE tee is from my girl @ownsitbyanna, I *strongly* recommend you pop over and check out the stunning pieces she has. There are a divine pair of reindeer earings with my name on them.... #nicolepasphotography

21.01.2022 Happy International Photography Day . At a time where I can't be doing what I love, what drives me, inspires me and introduces me to some amazing people (what I'm missing the most rn) I thought it best to honour this day with a little trip down memory lane This image is everything dear about my childhood.... trying to constantly steal my dad’s camera to shoot, taking the film canisters to our local camera shop for development, wondering with eagerness how my shots turned ou...t. I always had a camera in my hand, it's something I always saw around me and wanted to learn more about. Little did I know, it would become my life's passion Hindsight is a wonderful gift.... it makes sense that I've ended up here. I was never particularly studious or driven to 'be' something. I was a dreamer, always seeking out the beauty and wonder instead. Something that comes so naturally in childhood but is lost so quickly as life goes on.... perhaps this is my way of holding into that feeling With so much bringing us down at the moment, I urge you all to think about what brought you joy when you were younger.... did it lead you to where you are now? Tell me..... #nicolepasphotography

21.01.2022 What's the first thing you will do once lockdown restrictions are lifted? . Coffe date with your favourite person? Hug your mum Book that holiday you've been dreaming about all year... Take that road trip . Me? Booking a solo night away, just for me. I need some peace, and to go to the toilet without an audience . Tell me, let's live through each other's dreams.... #nicolepasphotography @ Olinda, Victoria, Australia See more

21.01.2022 Hi friends Welcome to 2020, the year the world went a little bonkers . But seriously, how are you? These are such uncertain times, and I know so many of us are feeling anxious, scared, annoyed, disappointed. No one really knows what's going on, if and when we'll go into lock down, but so many of us are already feeling the effects and having jobs and work cancelled, postponed or worse... . In these times, I think it's so important to look after our mental health and head...space. It's very easy to succumb to the feeling of isolation, loss of income, fear of what the coming months will bring. So please make sure you stay connected. And not to your phone screen, but with your family, friends, insta tribe. Check in your grandparents and elderly neighbours. FaceTime your friends who are living in another state or country. Spend quality time with your kids and loved ones. This time shall pass. Use it wisely and make sure if you need help and support, you ASK for it #wereallinthistogether #nicolepasphotography

20.01.2022 Bored in the house.... have taken to photographing my latest purchases I was a makeup artist in a past life (as in, pre motherhood) and gosh I miss it.... I have an addiction to buying makeup, that will never leave me Thinking of doing a makeup tutorial with this divine palette from @meccamax 'How To Do Your Makeup for Your Next Photoshoot'.... yay or nay?... #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

20.01.2022 A little cuteness for your Saturday #nicolepasphotography

19.01.2022 Anyone else struggling to stay motivated right now? I feel like I keep getting to 85% of whatever I'm working on behind the scenes, then I loose it and can't get through the last 15% Tell me I'm not the only one?!... #nicolepasphotography See more

19.01.2022 The one thing I HAVEN'T been this week?! . As day 6932169953 of #isolife has come and gone, so has my patience. And my kids willingness to be normal, human children But it's ok, because I've got these amazing @arbonneaunz #innercalmarbonne #supercalmarbonne products to get me through. Who knows, I may come out of this looking so Zen ... #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

19.01.2022 Anyone elses brain feeling tapped out right about now?! Bring on school (almost) back, daycare back and light at the end of this covid tunnel

18.01.2022 What's the biggest risk you've taken in your biz? For me? It was when I finally believed in myself enough to quit my day job, and launch my business. Sometimes we have to choose to play it safe or take a risk. I choose to get out of my comfort zone.... I decided to take the risk because I finally got to a place where I was doing something that brought me joy, and I could see that same joy in my clients. To be honest with you, it wasn't always easy. There were hard times, long nights, tears and self doubt, but I was determined to make it happen. The reason I'm sharing this with you today is that I want you to know that big dreams take a lot of work, and often requires us to push ourselves past our comfort zone. If I can do this, so can you! Is there a risk you've taken in the past or thinking about taking now that requires you to push yourself outside of your comfort zone? Tell me about it below, let's do this together #nicolepasphotography

18.01.2022 Hi I'm Nicole, photographer, content creator and SPEAKER..... #whodis When one of my fav social media mavens @shallwesocial approached me to be a guest speaker in the next round of her amazing #instagramunpacked course, I couldn't say no..... . Yes, I'll need to get over my fear of public speaking (eek!) but the opportunity to chat about what I'm most passionate about, to a room (read, zoom call) full of business owners and entrepreneurs is an opportunity I couldn't say n...o to PLUS....little did she know, being asked to be a guest speaker was on my dream board for 2020 (that and being a speaker on a podcast..... just putting it out there universe!) So covid or no covid.... keep slaying, working towards your goals and being PRESENT. Because you just don't know when someone will see you and want to work with you @rebecca_renfrey_photographer #nicolepasphotography

18.01.2022 Mother's Day..... #isostyle . Yesterday we spent the afternoon getting creative. The gorgeous Ange from @angemylittlecountrykitchen sent us her Mother's Day Paint Your Own cookie sets to have a play with and they were an absolute hit! The kids loved getting creative decorating their (my haha!) cookies You know I'm all about supporting small biz.... if you're looking for a fun activity for the kids leading up to mothers day, head on over to @angemylittlecountrykitchen and ord...er some kits. And while you're there, check out Ange's catering options for at home meals, they're delish #nicolepasphotography @ Croydon North, Victoria, Australia See more

18.01.2022 I'm just a girl with a camera, who loves beauty.... #myfirstlove #nicolepasphotography

17.01.2022 Australian spirit Did you know that wattle represents the spirit of the Australian people? Given the times we're currently living through, I thought this such a poignant thing to see everywhere right now.....beautiful yellow buds, their scent wafting through the air (mind the hayfever sneeze though )... Just a friendly reminder on your Wednesday night scroll #wereallinthistogether #nicolepasphotography

17.01.2022 THIS FACE?! BLISS PRE SHUTDOWN 2.0 Well Melbourne friends, here we go again. Lockdown, biz shut down, home-schooling, toddler wrangling with no where to take them, and for some of us, far worse We all have our thoughts on why we're here again, but instead of focusing our energy on anger, resentment and frustration, let's shift it to how we can make the most of this time in a positive light... For me, it's reconnecting with me kids and helping my poor preppie to readjust yet AGAIN to his disrupted first year of school. I'm going to treat my body better and exercise everyday () How about you, what will you do these next 6 weeks to keep yourself healthy and happy? #nicolepasphotography #stayhomestaysafe

17.01.2022 Live the life you love There will be no one in the world that cares as much about the life you live, the work you create, the dreams you chase, than you my dear So you might as well go live the life you love, create things you love, work on things you are passionate about, and push past what others might think is even possible ... #nicolepasphotography See more

17.01.2022 Food for thought #punintended . A doctor friends of mine shared this yesterday and it struck such a cord. During this time of unknown and media mania, PLEASE use common sense, be vigilant, please don't buy into the hysteria and check on your family, friends and neighbors Yes, we will all be affected by this virus in one way or another, but there's no need to act like savages and forget the seeming humanity that we saw from our country only a month or so ago.....how quickl...y people have forgotten their 'Australian matehood' And above all else, please think of the amazing doctors and nurses that are on the frontline of this pandemic...my sister is one of them #covid_19 #coronaviruspandemic #watchoutforoneanother #weareaustralian

17.01.2022 You guys have blown up my DM's in response to my new branding featured in my stories today #feelingthelove The biggest thanks go to the gorgeous Su-Ann from @tinycrowd who took my vision and brand and created what I could only dream of Su-Ann and I go back years to our days working together at Mecca Brands and I was beyond excited to be able to come together again to rework my branding. There's SOOO much goodness coming, I can't wait to share it all with you ... #nicolepasphotography #tinycrowd See more

17.01.2022 Day 1 of homeschool . Or as I like to think of it, term 2, homestyle . I refuse to let it get the better of me. I will follow the 'expectations' as best as possible, but I've got a 3.5 year old to keep entertained too, so I can't promise much ... . But I will try and keep it fun, not stressful and there will be cooking as part of any math/science learning . And wine too, that's mandatory right?! . How did your first day go?! @ Croydon North, Victoria, Australia See more

16.01.2022 What a DOLL! . Had sooo much fun capturing sweet little Chloe's 2nd birthday yesterday for the lovely Vanessa from @cookiesandcrumbsmelbourne . This little face check out my stories for more shots from the set up....it's what peach dreams are made of!... #nicolepasphotography See more

16.01.2022 That touch.... it's what tells me I'm safe in your arms #nicolepasphotography #nicolepasnewbornphotography

16.01.2022 I spent Friday morning in a room, full of powerhouse women, all brought together by the beautiful Katherine from @propertybeforeprada in honour of #iwd . It was so refreshing to hear the stories told by the panel which included @emilyosmond @buildhercollective and @benitahusband about how they're all holding their own in their fields with grace, realness and sisterhood Happy International Women's Day friends. Remember, we're here to help each other rise, not pull each other ...down #nicolepasphotography @ Canvas House See more

15.01.2022 I absolutely love seeing my work helping my clients own their brands and story

13.01.2022 I was lucky enough to be invited by @thevibetribegroup to shoot some fresh new content for the Melbourne institution that is @stalactitesrestaurant a few weeks back Not only was it the best smelling shoot I've ever done #obvs but it took me right back to my own Greek roots and reignited my love of the cuisine that I grew up eating And the souvlakia are even better than I remembered them ... #nicolepasphotography @ Stalactites Restaurant See more

13.01.2022 Anyone else feelin' this #groundhogday vibe today?!

13.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day These two terror monkeys are best thing I’ve ever done in my life. Every day they teach me resilience, strength, love, patience and laughter. Some days are harder than others, but then they smile at you or make you laugh, and whatever made me angry or frustrated at goes away (even temporarily )... To all the mums, step mums, pet mums, plant mums, mum’s to be, those wanting so badly to be, those who’s mums are no longer with them.....today is for you too Hug your loved ones every day and always remember that to someone, you are their world Big love to you all, NP by my darling friend @catherine.elise.photography @ Home

13.01.2022 How taking action creates confidence I have spent WAY too much time researching ALL the things I didn’t know about biz life.... how to set up SEO, how to automate emails, how to pay myself super.... Running your own show comes with sooo many hats no one tells you about. Sure, this has been helpful knowledge to have. But, if I’m being honest with myself (and you!), the real reason I got hung up on this for so long was that I was nervous to cross it off the list and move forw...ard. I think that’s something most of us can relate to, right? Putting your dream out there is scary. It’s much more comfortable to tell yourself you are taking action while you are really just playing small. What’s that going to accomplish? Not much. Instead, it was only by diving in and taking REAL action that I made REAL progress. Much like my girl Mira from @thelifeofavirtualassistant who launched her new branding over the weekend and is showing up and OWNING her space So, what are YOU doing this week to play big? Tell me, I’d love to know! #nicolepasphotography

13.01.2022 S P R I N G It's finally here..... here's to the hope, newness and positivity we all feel when we think of this glorious season Just wish it didn't come with hayfever ... Plus its a new moon tonight, imagine the possibilities! Big love friends

12.01.2022 With the announcement last night by our PM and state ministers that many businesses will now close, its so amazing to see how many are adapting to provide their services online None more so than my girls at @legacy.pilates who are offering a virtual UNLIMITED membership for their classes, which you can either live stream or catch up at your convenience Maintaining our physical and mental health is mitre important than ever right now, so please pop over to the link in their b...io to sign up for this incredible offer... it's ridiculously affordable too #nicolepasphotography @ Legacy Pilates & Barre See more

12.01.2022 Amazing ThingsTakeTime And quiet....space to think and fall into your vision The last 24 hours have seen me fall into this deeply creative zone and I'm LOVING IT ... My soul has been craving it for weeks, nay months #thanksrona but today, I found it. And I'm loving where it's taking me Watch this space friends.... good things are coming...

11.01.2022 Dear Mr. Andrews, @danielandrewsmp My name is Nicole and I am a Full-Time Branding and Family Photographer, along with many other Full-Time Melbourne Metro Photographers. We are NOT Wedding Photographers.... We would LOVE specific information and clarity around when we, Full-Time Family/Branding Photographers can EFFECTIVELY work again AFTER LOCKDOWN (no info on our present circumstances). Without a mask exemption for our clients after lockdown, we won’t be able to work until 2021 or later. Currently, the media and their subjects can take their masks off for photography/videography, but our own clients will not be allowed to after lockdown, or they will receive a fine (as will we). Please help us. We need this information as, a). We have many exisiting clients (families, newborns, business clients) who are awaiting us to give word of what to expect in the future, b). Some of us photographers have a HUGE backlog of client shoots that will take months to finish before we can capture new clients to financially recover from 2020, and c). There is no end in sight of when we can return to work and serve our communities, which is causing great strain to our mental health and livelihoods. We would greatly appreciate clarity on these specific aspects, as our genre of photography is completely different to wedding photography. Can you please help us? Nicole Paspaliaris #notallphotographersareweddingphotographers

11.01.2022 What a way to start this final week of home-schooling?! Delicious skincare care of @barelaserandskin, hot coffee in my new @huskeecup thanks to my friends at @featherandnoise and some sunshine.... Chin up mummas, 5 DAYS LEFT TO GO!!!! Bring on ALL the wine on Friday

11.01.2022 The first day of prep... . The newest of beginnings as the preppies of 2020 put their uniforms and shiny new shoes on for the first time; lift the backpacks that are as big as they are onto their backs, and look to us with excitement, anticipation and nerves before they walk through the doors of big school And us mums? We hold back the tears, put on the biggest smile and show them only excitement, whilst grieving on the inside that we're letting go of our babies into the big,... wide world It always seems like it's forever away when they're newborn.... that first day of school. Something that will come one day, but we'll have so many chances to enjoy life before that point. Then one day.... the time has gone and here we are. Realising our babies are no longer babies I have so many emotions about my little bear starting school next week.... but I'm trying not to let the flood gates get the better of me. For now, I'm going to enjoy the last few days with him Here's to beautiful @anna.mac_ and Goldie who still have 5 delicious years of growth and snuggles ahead of them #nicolepasphotography

11.01.2022 When was the last time you worked ON your business? I don’t know about you, but it feels like the workload of 2 years have been thrust together into the last 5 months.... I’m not wrong am I? So many of us were put ‘on hold’ last year and now that we’re ’back to normal’ it feels as though we’re all running a sprint every day to make up for time lost... And often, that leads to us spending far too much time IN the biz, not working on it. I know that’s definitely the case for me So this is your reminder to stop, take a breath and block out time in your crazy schedule to make time for your biz baby. Because if you don’t, you’ll end up feeling like a mouse trapped in the wheel never growing or blossoming.....just forever trying to catch your tail #nicolepasphotography @ Williamstown, Victoria, Australia

10.01.2022 IN PRINT What an incredible shoot this was, the slumber party of every little girl's dreams @slumbertribe created one of the most incredible set ups I've EVER seen. And with a team of amazing vendors, we're so proud that this has been featured in the most recent @lifeslittlecelebrations magazine... check out the link in my bio!...

10.01.2022 The thing I miss most during this #coronaviruspandemic.... getting creative with my clients! . @anna.mac_ and I had so much fun playing with shadows and light at our last shoot #precovid19 for @maybelline latest lip range I'm counting the days until I can shoot (and hug!) my beautiful clients again ... #nicolepasphotography See more

10.01.2022 Before & After Magic . It's amazing what editing can achieve... the original shot was taken just after the sun set, with the help of car headlights so the camera would focus . Also a huge thankyou to the gorgeous @sigridpetersenphotography for sharing this little gem of a location. It never ceases to amaze me how supportive fellow togs are of each other ... #nicolepasphotography @ Olinda, Victoria, Australia See more

09.01.2022 So I started recording my podcast today And you know what.... it was harder than I thought it'd be. But like everything worth doing, we persevere and keep going I thought I'd share my experience being IN FRONT of the camera for my first go at recording an episode, and just like the lessons I learned today from my own shoot, there were plenty I learnt trying to document my first episode ... I thought I could wing it and just start taking....I'm good at that normally but instead, I realised, just like a shoot, I need to stop, think about what I want to say, plan all the things and maybe even, write a little script to read from Because my brain runs a million miles an hour but my audience won't. And nor should they. They'll want to listen to a succinct episode that teaches and inspires them... and that's exactly what my podcast is ALL about So excited to start working on this new project! Pic by the absolute legend (and beautiful soul) @catherine.elise.photography

09.01.2022 Product Making Mavens Do you have beautiful products you're needing photographed but are struggling to book a session because #covid19? . I've got a limited number of spaces available over the coming weeks for lifestyle and flatlay product shoots. If you've been holding off on booking a session, DON'T! I can shoot your products in my home studio, and provide you with stunning high resolution images you can use straight away to ensure your products and brand are getting into t...he hands of you're ideal clients now, pandemic or no pandemic Booking are first in, best dressed so contact me now to find out more #nicolepasphotography

09.01.2022 HEALTH HAVEN Beyond excited to finally share some images from this shoot for @thehealthhaven.aus who launched last week This shoot is by far one of my favourites to date, and we had the most incredible team to bring it to life @jodie.mcclintock @rachbitzilis... Tribes like this are my WHY.... to be able to bring their vision to life brings me so much joy #nicolepasphotography

08.01.2022 Even though I can't shoot right now, I can still live through my images So many stunning shots from this session with the darling @tara_alexander_ and her family our shoot is now live on her blog too Get ready for some maternity shoot spam....... #nicolepasphotography See more

07.01.2022 The moods of #isolife as told by a 6 yo.... . Pretty fitting really. Only difference is they can get away with the tantrums Anyone else feeling this?!... #nicolepasphotography @ Croydon North, Victoria, Australia See more

07.01.2022 Love me a little #bts action . A fun little outtake from our shoot yesterday for @erosomorphos with these babes @issiefield and @lauraameliaaa There are two things I can guarantee you about a shoot with me....1) I will absolutely do everything I can to make you feel comfortable not only in front of my camera, but with me and the vibe of our shoot and 2) there'll be laughter and if you're lucky, rad 90's tunes to dance to... So if you've been putting off booking a shoot because you're worried about not being photogenic, you think you'll be shy with someone you don't know or that you've never done a professional shoot before and don't know what to expect, you can rest assured that I'll make you feel at ease, make you laugh and ultimately, make you forget your even in front of a camera And you'll end up with your own collection of stunning images that show the real YOU #nicolepasphotography

07.01.2022 Self Care Saturday's These past few weeks have been nothing short of crazy. All too often we look at our days and think to ourselves we don't have enough hours in the day (even though we share the same 24 hours as Beyonce). When really what we need to focus on is how we spend those hours. Here's what I find true;... There is always enough time for morning cuddles with your kids, hot coffee first thing in the morning and watching the sunset at the end of the day. There's plenty of time for connecting with friends, new and old and having a real deep and meaningful conversation. Chasing new ideas and dreams and creating what inspires us. There's time to teach, and lots of time to learn. There's always time for doing good, but it will always fall on our shoulders to make the time for what we truly want. At the end of the day, we have to decide how we spend our days And you know what, I'd be lying if I told you I don't hit the bed at the end of the day feeling exhausted from everything, BUT I know the sun will rise tomorrow and I get to do it all over again #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

07.01.2022 There will be no one in the world that cares as much about the life you live, the work you create, the dreams you chase, than you my dear So you might as well go live the life you love, create things you love, work on things you are passionate about, and push past what others might think is even possible #nicolepasphotography

07.01.2022 Laughter is the BEST medicine I had so many DM's yesterday after my #isomeltdown on stories.... to all my beautiful community, thankyou for the words of support and wisdom I think it's safe to say we're all feeling this second lockdown a little (*lot) more this time around. And whilst times are tough, I was also reminded how much there is to smile about. Some days will be harder than others, but always remember, it's the simple things that can bring a smile, or laugh, to your... face Sunshine, chocolate, the familiar smell of something yummy cooking, the sound of rain or your children laughing and singing.... Hold onto these moments in the darkness and everything will be ok #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

06.01.2022 Hi I'm Nicole I've had quite a few new followers join my lil community here, so thought it best to introduce you to the lady behind the lens! I'm a branding photographer here in Melbourne (the BEST city in the world). I love empowering other women in business to step into their own, by creating soul filled images that speak to their brand story and their audience. ... I started this little biz of mine after my maternity leave was over and my employer wouldn't offer me the opportunity to return to work in a supportive and balanced way... so I said "sayonara" and became my own #bossbabe. It's the best damn decision I've ever made. I can't wait to continue sharing my journey through business, life and being a mum... so come introduce yourself and tell me a bit about YOU #sociallyemchallenge #sociallyem

06.01.2022 Congratulations to my gorgeous clients @bossladytinky and @trentjknox on the safe arrival of their beautiful daughter Winter I first met this beautiful family 2 years ago when I photographed Hunter's 3rd birthday.... unfortunately a global pandemic got in the way of his 4th birthday.... but we finally made it together again for his 5th birthday AND to capture these glorious shots before his little sister arrived So over the moon for you Julia & Trent (and Hunter too!)... #nicolepasphotography @ Armadale, Victoria, Australia See more

06.01.2022 Would you believe this was taken on day 2 of #iso?! . My my, how much has changed.... seasons, perspective, priorities.... . I for one am still not *quite* sure I'm ready for a return to normality (except for homeschooling, that I'm DONE with that!)... But having these few extra months home with just my babies and me (hubs was holed up working away ).... it's been bliss I feel like we're starting school all over again tomorrow and again, I'm not quite ready for it..... anyone else feel the same?! #nicolepasphotography

06.01.2022 Puppy Love When the gorgeous Tina from @tinageorge.eyebrows mentioned that her gorgeous fur baby was going to be home during her brand shoot (pre-lockdown obvs!) I insisted we include a shot of them together Fur-kids, just like our actual kids, are such an important part of our lives, why not capture a sneaky shot or two?! Doesn't matter that it's not what I'm there for, I've got my camera in my hand and you've got love to give them, let's capture it so you can keep that me...mory forever?! #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

05.01.2022 We're sooo close to the end of the year, I can almost taste it As I'm sure so many of you are also feeling, we've gone from 0 to 1000 in a matter of weeks and now as we race to the finish line of 2020, were trying to deliver/handover/complete/tick off all the things we've squeezed into these last few months But its also the time to rest, reset and re-evaluate the year that's been. Yes its been a tough one, but there have been so many lessons amongst the crap..... don't forget... to look at what the universe gave you and ask yourself, what can I meaningfully take into 2021 to make my life better? Hold on tight folks, it's going to be a good one!! #nicolepasphotography

05.01.2022 Anyone else forgotten what time or day it is?! Thisday, thatday, otherday, someday, tomorrowday.... Daniel Wellington

05.01.2022 Who else is ready to kiss 2019 goodbye . What a year....I can't begin to explain what a ride it's been. I've met so many amazing people, connected with so many of YOU my incredible insta tribe, and have forced myself well and truly out of my comfort zone and have loved.every.minute So here's to 2020 and all that it will bring. Who's coming along for the ride?!... #nicolepasphotography See more

05.01.2022 This was my mood today.... . Screaming into the void that no one could hear Pushing against a wall that will only push me back... Feeling my frustration and anger rising by the second, anxiety sitting on my chest, getting hotter and hotter, tears welling in my eyes But I won't let them fall. Because if I do, they won't stop So many emotions today. Frustration at the kids not listening to me. Anger at the lack of control I seem to have at home. Anxiety over feeling that this isn't going to be over any time soon - this is our new normal and I can't do anything about it I need to step away from Facebook because all I see is people's idiocricy (is that a word?) and selfishness that has led us back here. "Why should I wear a mask?!", "its the government's fault", "so what if I have the sniffles, I still need to go to the shops".... everything I see is about "me, me, me" not a care given about those around them This hurts my soul. It makes me question the world I've brought my children into. I don't want this life for them, I'm sure none of us do.... If you're still reading this, Thankyou for listening. I needed to get it off my chest. Feel free to share your feelings below, this is a safe space #staysafe #stayhome

04.01.2022 Last week I posed the question, would you'd like me to put together a lil' guide to capturing your little loves while we're in #iso? Due to overwhelming feedback, it's in the works! I'll be launching it this week, so keep your eyes peeled peeps.... keep watching my feed and stories for all the info Here's a little something you can expect to be inspired to create in your own backyard.... this was us day 7 #npisochallenge @ Croydon North, Victoria, Australia

04.01.2022 R U OK? Let's be honest, its been a tumultuous year, one that has pushed us all to our limits both emotionally, physically and mentally. Some of us have been able to adapt to this new way of 'life' better than others, we're only human Today I'm proud to partner with @ruokday a day we're reminded to check in on our loved ones near and far to let them know we're here and that they're not alone. And whilst you don't need to wait till the 10th September to do this (we should be... doing this everyday, especially right now!) there's another aspect to asking #ruok that we need to think about... What to say if they so "no, I'm actually not ok" The team at @ruokday have some amazing resources to educate us on how to open and continue the conversation past r u ok? along with the signs to look out for if your family and friends may not be coping If you've noticed a change in your loved ones, it may be time to start the conversation... Call or Facetime to as, R U OK? I want to check in to see how you're doing? Listen....hear them even if the response isn't as easy one to hear Encourage Action... ask them how you can help them take the next steps to seek the right help Check in....dint leave the conversation hanging, follow up and really be there for them If you feel you need to have the conversation with someone you love but are unsure how to approach them, head to the link in my bio to the @ruokday website where you can access their resources to help you start, and continue the conversation. There are also links to other support services that can help #ruok #ruokday #theresmoretosay #Gifted #RUOKCollab @ruokday

04.01.2022 A few more fav's from my shoot for @barelaserandskin from the weekend Fun fact: I started my career in beauty, working for Mecca Brands for over 8 years as a nail tech, makeup artist and then moved to their head office as a Brand Manager. Gosh I miss those days... they were challenging and so much fun Definitely moulded me into the person I am now... Where did you start your journey?! #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

04.01.2022 You saw it here first..... the wait list is now open for some post covid goodness with me! . Head to the link in my bio to register your interest #nicolepasphotography

04.01.2022 You're one decision away from a different life I was listening to @emilyosmond podcast today and this analogy came up in the conversation and it really had me thinking about the sliding door moment that led me to where I am today. For me, it was saying yes to an opportunity that took me RIGHT out of my comfort zone, but it led me to meeting an incredible group of women and the work I now do today ... So, I'm curious, have you experienced this? Have you had that moment where you made a decision that changed your entire life? It doesn't have to do with your career, it might have to do with the love of your life, an unexpected adventure or experiencing something you never thought you would say yes to.... so, tell me in the comments, what was your sliding door moment? #nicolepasphotography

03.01.2022 A little Monday morning reminder... It's been a *hell* of a year and we're not out of the woods yet.... but there is light at the end of this god forsaken covid tunnel and if you can muster the energy, now's the time to start working towards your goals Don't worry, not everyday will be a day for this.... but little by little, we chip away at our dreams... Keep going friend, I'm right there with you #nicolepasphotography

03.01.2022 Family . If you saw my stories tonight, you'd have seen that we are having our own family shoot tomorrow with the divine @catherine.elise.photography. It was a birthday present I'd given myself that covid got in the way of, but now that restrictions have eased, we're jumping on the window of freedom we have right now to go for it and capture this now monumentally strange time in our history The gorgeous family in this shot? The Renfrey tribe. @rebecca_renfrey_photographer i...s one of my dearest photog friends and it was such an honour to capture these shots for her literally the weekend before we were all sent into lockdown Trusting a fellow photographer to capture moments in time for your family is SUCH a precious and huge honour, one that I don't take lightly. The fact we all support and lift each other up, through support, mentorship and friendship, is one of the best surprises this world has given me #nicolepasphotography

I also couldn't decide which edit I preferred.... comment below which is your favorite swipe to see... #nicolepasphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more
