WELCOME FRIENDS! My name is Nicole Edson, and I am a lover of MANY things but being a PHOTOGRAPHER is by far one of my FAVORITES! I was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona and I was young when I was handed down my first camera. It came to me by my Grandma Edna and Grandpa Buster who were both CREATIVES, talented, gifted and true lovers of the ARTS, including photography! Which is where I'd like to think I got my "photography eye" from so...."thanks" Grandma and Grandpa! :)
I then received my first "official" (film) camera in 1995 (thanks dad) and then my first digital in 2003 and I’ve been shooting photography (passionately and professionally) for going on (23) years now...(WOW) and YES, I still absolutely LOVE what I do!
As it stands today, I do consider myself a “FUN-tographer” and now of course you're probably asking yourself what a “FUN-tographer” is and why I chose this “classification” to describe what type of photographer I am. Well...simply put I don’t fit into one genre; I TRULY love the VASTNESS of photography as an ART FORM and because I have had quite the array of photography OPPORTUNITIES (all of which I am grateful for) over the last (23) years, you can imagine how difficult it would be to choose just one!
So, in the Land of The Free, Home of the Brave...instead of trying to assign myself to a category, I decided to make my own! Honestly, I just "shoot" what I happen to be passionate about in the moment, which means "shooting" what, where and how I want to every. single. frame. and THAT my friends, is what I like to call....FREEDOM and I hope you are able to find that same FREEDOM too in whatever capacity fits YOU!
I have always said that you can put me anywhere in the world and I will shoot till I capture it in all of its BEAUTY and all of its GLORY because that...is truly, what I see! At the end of the day, I am a CREATIVE and the world is my canvas, my eye my paintbrush, and it is my “LOVE for LIFE” the sets the vision of what I hope to CAPTURE!
Be Good, Be Kind and Be Careful out there! LOVE you guys!! <3 Nicole, Nikki, Kiki

Please enjoy this photo montage of my experience touring the New Orleans St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, It was established in 1789 and holds the distinction of being the oldest extant cemetery in the City of New Orleans. Let me just say WOW what a memorable experience it was and now I need to see them all!
This was a tour I will never forget and always cherish as I for one am "in love" with celebrating life both in the living and those that have lived.

Stopped in to Eegee’s for the first time today and had some yummy grub! The vibe of Eegee’s reminded me of a modernized vintage diner! Gilbert…you never disappoint!
Celebrated a Special Event at Nando's Mexican Cafe in Chandler, AZ! We had our own space to celebrate out on the patio, and the food was, as always, EXCEPTIONAL! They have locations in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Queen Creek so if you're in the area I highly suggest you stop in for some delicious Mexican food!
As a native Arizonian the Phoenix Zoo here NEVER seems to get old for me. The second I step foot on the zoo grounds I immediately become that little girl with "wonder eyes" all over again! Thanks for all the fun, will be seeing you again VERY soon!
