I'm Nicole, an aspiring model and actress in the Des Moines area. Though Des Moines isn't exactly a hotbed of modeling and acting opportunities I try   to keep busy with commercial work and shoots with local and regional photographers.

Last year I had the good fortune to connect with Rachel Sivi, Vice President
of the chain of Vogue Vision centers. By the time we'd completed our first show together she had asked me to be the new "face" of her family company. I continue to be honored and amazed at her faith in my and our continued ability to inspire one another. The images we've created in a variety of styles have been used for advertisements in numerous publications and T.V. spots as well as all of their marketing materials. I'm so happy to be part of this company! Below is my favorite shot from our most recent shoot...June 3rd.

I try to take every chance I can get to work with all different types of people.
I enjoy modeling for art photographers as much as I like to shoot commercials at studios.

I thought it would be fun to add my most recent shoots to my homepage to show what I've been up to before these sets are moved to the portfolio. This series was shot in Magpie's summer gown collection by Eric Hinders of Studio Seventeen. Avery Fey did all of the hair and makeup and Mel, Bridgette and Jonavae came out to play!
