Nicole Ely-Joshi Photography www.nicolejoshi.com/contact šŸ“ø about me…
Hello hello! I’m Nicole and I’m grateful that you’re here. My belief is that we are all connected.

Authentic Luxe Photographic Experiences: Bo***ir, Couples, Lifestyle (Family / Maternity), Travel Portraiture & Elopements providing you with resplendent images & Wall Art you're sure to treasure forever. Located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, I specialize in Bo***ir, Couples/Lifestyle, and Fashion photography. My desire is to share my heart-felt energy by creating photographic opportunities, experi

ences and artwork that empower, inspire and honour everyone in my tribe to reconnect with their loved ones and most importantly themselves. I strive to allow everyone to feel safe and free from judgement, and to remember that you, yourself, are enough; And that your story deserves to be recognized. Nicole Ely-Joshi Photography’s mission is bigger than just me. We have aligned because you are ready to reconnect with, realize and radiate your inner-magnificence by being reminded of your resplendency. Through our collaborative effort, be forewarned of a brilliant photographic experience that is both tons of fun and soul-freeing. Though I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Education, Severe Special Needs and French Literature, and pursued Masters studies in Education, Severe Special Needs, NeuroPsychology and Brain Trauma, my first love, Photography, ultimately won. Upon moving to Calgary, from Denver, Rochester, Boston, and Taichung, Taiwan, I completed a Photography Certificate at SAIT. However, most of what I’ve learned about photography, and my distinct style, was inherited via osmosis from my professional photographer parents back in the day. I am constantly honing my craft through continual learning opportunities, be it through classes, workshops, or approaching those in the field amongst whom I strive to be recognized as their peer in their circle of brilliancy. Wife to my true love of 20+ years, Momma to my 2 littles, who are no longer so little, but will always be my babies, lover of walks in nature, music of most genres, and time with f(r)amily, a true water being (I can sit and play in water for hours upon hours), working out, and big belly-felt laughter.

The photographs matter.

But so does the way you feel while they're being created.

From the moment you arrive, my goal is for you to feel at ease; to be present, to enjoy the experience and to leave with memories of the day itself, not just the images we created together.

I could tell you that all day long, but I think it means so much more when it comes from someone who's experienced it firsthand.

Thank you for trusting me with your story.

There are moments in life that deserve to be remembered.

The engagement. The anniversary. The growing family. The new beginning. The quiet season where you finally feel like yourself again.

Being trusted to document those chapters is something I'll never take for granted.

Every time you invite me into your life, I know I'm preserving memories that will only become more valuable with time.

However, the most beautiful photographs aren't always tied to a milestone.

Sometimes the occasion is simply that you want to celebrate who you are, exactly as you are, in this season of your life; and that's reason enough.

Whether you're marking something extraordinary or simply honouring the life you're living today, I'd be delighted to create something timeless with you. ✨

"Make yourself a priority once in a while. It's not selfish. It's necessary."

As women, we're often the first to show up for everyone else.

We'll spend hours planning someone else's birthday party, bake treats for the school fundraiser, drive a friend to the airport, help a family member move or rearrange our entire schedule when someone needs us. We do it willingly because we care.

Somewhere along the way, however, many of us start believing that taking time for ourselves is indulgent, selfish or something that should only happen after everyone else's needs are met.

The truth? You cannot pour from an empty cup.

Taking care of yourself doesn't take away from the people you love. It allows you to show up for them as the best version of yourself.

Whether it's booking the photoshoot, taking the trip, getting the massage, starting the hobby or simply setting aside time that belongs only to you; you deserve to be on your own priority list too.

Not because you've earned it. Not because you've checked every box. Simply because you’re you and you're worth it.

Tell me: when was the last time you chose yourself without feeling guilty?

Who says bo***ir is just for women?

Around here, we call it Dudoir. šŸ”„

Confidence, self-expression and celebrating yourself aren't reserved for one gender. Men deserve to feel strong, attractive, confident and seen too.

While posing for men is definitely different than posing for women, that's where experience matters. Every pose, expression, angle and lighting setup is intentionally designed to highlight your personality and create images that feel authentic to you.

No modeling experience required.No idea how to pose? I've got you.Feeling a little nervous? That's completely normal.

My job is to guide you through the entire experience so you leave feeling comfortable, confident and likely wondering why you didn't do it sooner.

Men, this is your sign. The studio doors are open to you, too. ✨

I’m often asked, "Do I get to choose my images?"

Absolutely.

In fact, it's one of the most anticipated moments of the entire experience.

After your session, we'll settle in with a fizzy drink and thoughtfully curated hors d'oeuvres as you see your portraits for the very first time just hours after they've been created.

No waiting weeks.

No wondering if you looked awkward.

No second-guessing every pose or expression.

Just the experience of seeing yourself with compassion instead of criticism. Few women ever give themselves that permission.

Together, we'll thoughtfully curate your Collection, selecting the images that speak to you most deeply; the ones that feel honest, timeless and unmistakably you.

This isn't simply an ordering appointment.

It's often the moment everything shifts.

The moment you stop searching for flaws and begin noticing your presence.

Your strength.
Your softness.
Your story.

It's one of the greatest privileges of my work—to quietly witness that moment alongside you.

Hopping on this trend… bo***ir photographer edition.
A few things that genuinely keep photographers awake at night:
corrupted SD cards, no-shows, raw photo requests… and women thinking they need to ā€œfixā€ themselves before stepping in front of the camera.

For my birthday this year, I don’t want to create something trendy.

I want to create something that feels like freedom.

The kind of experience that makes you feel grounded, powerful, feminine, and completely yourself.

I’ve been dreaming up a few concepts…

🌿 A greenhouse wrapped in light.
ā˜” A rain session that celebrates letting go.
🌾 An intimate outdoor bo***ir experience surrounded by nature.

But before I bring one of them to life, I want to know…

Which experience speaks to you?

Or maybe your dream session looks like something completely different.

Tell me below. Your answer might just inspire what comes next. ✨

One of the biggest misconceptions about booking a bo***ir session?

ā€œI’d love to do it… but I don’t have anything to wear.ā€

Trust me, you are not alone.

When you see all of the gorgeous lingerie, robes, bodysuits and accessories in my photos, it's easy to assume my clients brought all of that themselves. The truth? Most of them borrow pieces from the studio wardrobe.

We have an extensive client closet with options ranging from XS–6XL, including lingerie, babydolls, robes, bodysuits and more. We even have accessories like jewelry, gloves, tiaras, and other fun pieces to help complete the look.

We provide professional hair and makeup, help style your outfits, guide you through every pose and make sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.

This isn't just a photoshoot, it's a fully guided luxury experience.

So if you've been putting off booking because you think you need to go shopping first, consider this your sign: just bring yourself. We'll take care of the rest.

Calling All Couples:

The sun is shining, the days are getting longer and this time of year always makes me want to get out of the studio and capture love stories outdoors. Whether it’s at your home space, somewhere else meaningful to you or in a beautiful park setting like this, there’s something very special about photographing couples in an environment that feels authentically relaxed.

One thing I hear all the time is: ā€œWe love your work, but we’re awkward in front of the camera.ā€

I promise you, it is not your job to magically know how to pose. It’s my job to teach you. I’ll guide you with gentle prompts, modelling the poses and facial and verbal direction which will help you feel comfortable and connected; so your photos look effortlessly natural and authentically you.

You do not have to be ā€œgood at photosā€ to have me capture beautiful photographs of your relationship. Just enjoy each other’s presence. I’ll handle the rest.
