My StorY & Mission

edit-2.jpg

Hello, I'm Nicole Roche, owner of Coastal Captures. Thank you so much for visiting my website today! For 8 years, I proudly ran my wedding photography studio, Kaleidoscope Imagery where beach sessions were always a favorite part of the services I offered. 

In the summer of 2022, my middle son, Wesley, and I were both diagnosed with cancer. We fought together for 9 months before he succumbed to his disease in June of 2023, leaving behind an incredible legacy of hope and optimism in the face of adversity. 

I have learned that the sun shines even in dark places, and after a year sabbatical from photography, I am so excited to return to the industry with a new vision and mission. I know well the importance of family memories rooted in authenticity, joy, and genuine emotion. When you choose Coastal Captures, you can be assured that I care as much about your images as you do, and that the love your family shares will radiate in every photo. In addition, a small percentage of every session fee will be donated to incredible local cancer charities that move mountains for affected families. It means the world to me to be able to combine my passions for photography and helping others, and I'm so grateful that you might be a part of it. See you at the beach!
