About Me

Hello Friends! I am Nicole Vadas. I live in Northwest Indiana about 45 mins from Chicago. I am the wife of a wonderful man, Adam, since 2003. We have 3 beautiful adult children....Diane, Lucas and Avery. Our family is adventurous. We love to travel, camp, stay active and see new things!

I am a pretty simple person, really. Seeing others happy is what makes me happy! I have always had a creative side. However, I never dreamt it would lead to a career in photography! They say "find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life." And boy, is that true! This sure doesn't feel like work because I am having so much fun! Needless to say, I wish I could've found this passion much sooner, but life led me in other directions to shape the person I am and led me to this moment. For that, I have no regret.

I love people. Prior to photography, I was a Social Worker for 8 years and worked in the fitness and nutritional supplement industry for 15 years. I love helping people. I've always loved photography as a hobby and in 2020 decided to make it a fulltime job. I haven't looked back since! Every single shoot I am learning more and more. The interaction with people is my favorite part! There is no feeling more gratifying in this business than having a client express how comfortable they felt with me. Having pictures taken can be a stressful time with much uncertainty. My goal is to always make the client feel at ease.
