Nicole Goddard Photography  |  BLOG bio picture

welcome to my blog!


My name is Nicole and I am extremely passionate about photography.


With a journalistic and artist approach, I strive to create a timeless and unique collection of spontaneous moments with style.


I am a careful, unobtrusive observer anticipating the moment and making the connection.


Born & raised in Seattle, I earned a BFA of Photography at the University of Washington. I am approaching my 8th year in business.  Woohoooo!!!


I am now based in the sunny city of Los Angeles, but I am available for travel worldwide.


When I am not behind my camera (or computer!), I .....

-  cherish time with my family & friends

-  practice power yoga

-  bike on the beach trails in SoCal

-  hike and go on long walks in my neighborhood of Silverlake

-  explore hole in the wall restaurants

-  go to live concerts.

-  find my addiction to peanut butter getting stronger

-  travel to new places. Last destination was Thailand! Check it out:      http://www.nicolegoddard.com/thailand 


Want to hear more? Please add me on Facebook, Twitter, send me an email, and/or call me.


My motto is 'LIVE PASSIONATELY' and I live by that 100%.
