Nadine Josephine

Glorified Love Guru

Hey love, I'm stoked to see your beautiful face here. I'm Nadine, and while there's many things that can be said about me, I'll say first I'm am ecstatically married to the love of my life J, and mum to two beautiful children, Elise, Noah and two pups Ruby and Mick. I'm a nostalgic, sentimental who finds happiness in old world aesthetics, learning something new (currently, floristry and astronomy because children) and always with a book in hand. I've been surrounded by great, talented and beautiful women all my life so I like to be as much an advocate for them as I can be.

I grew up listening, day dreaming and watching love stories, songs and movies. My grandparents and parents marriages add up to 140 years of the real deal. It was the biggest part of my life, love. Eventually I realized it was also something I needed to be a part of my career, and the only thing I ever wanted to surround myself with.

It also kind of became my goal for my couples too. I want to surround you with beauty, happiness, new experiences and preserve your story like you know you deserve. So instead of taking on a client type relationship, I like to look at it as collaborating. Not only documenting a time in your life, but making real memories while we do it. A beautiful match of genuine journalism and orchestrated fine art.

I hope I get a chance to tell your story with you,
Nadine

The Key to Perfect Portraits Is...
