Rare Vision Photography

Lifestyle photographer specializing in families, newborns and branding. Hello, my name is Nicole and I'm the owner/photographer of Rare Vision Photography.

Rare Vision was formed out of my passion for capturing moments and the beauty and uniqueness that God displays in each of them. I'm passionate about photography because it's more than an art form, it's unfolding a story. Stories are full of laughter, fear, fantasy, heartache, mischief, heroes, love, passion and so much more. Photographs capture the great times in a person's story and freezes it in

time for us to remember and savor for years to come. I've enjoyed capturing emotions and events in my own story and would be privileged to capture a special moment in yours.

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” - Ansel Adams

Take me out to the ball game! ⚾

I absolutely love documenting my son's growth during our annual baseball photoshoot—watching him change a little more each year fills my heart. This year felt extra sweet: his team finally has a legit uniform, and seeing him beam (and actually enjoy the session!) was the best. These are the moments I want to freeze forever.

Capturing your child in their element is something that really allows them to shine in the photograph! Mamas, where's the spot your kid feels most like him or herself?

Main Street in Festus holds a special place in my heart — it’s where my husband and I had photos with our wedding party, and its charm still makes me smile. Those brick sidewalks, vintage signs, and warm light make every moment feel timeless, and I love capturing that for other women and families. I’m offering quick 20-minute street mini-sessions: $100 for 10 digital images, with the option to upgrade and get every image I capture. Are you ready?

I keep coming back to Psalm 111 —one verse gripped my heart this week. It paints God's actions as splendid and majestic, a beautiful reminder that His works are both grand and deeply personal. As a photographer, I see that same awe in the small, tender moments I capture—the details that point to a greater Artist. Has a verse ever stopped you in your tracks? Share which one in the comments.

I literally laughed out loud when I read Logan’s text after I shared their images!

Those “acting like fools” moments are actually my favorite — the goofy faces and coy smiles are where personality lives. I love capturing that messy, joyful energy because months from now those imperfect smiles are the ones you’ll replay and treasure.

Have a funny post-session text to share? Drop it below or DM me — I’d love to capture your family’s true selves next.

Flashback Friday to a very special day when Thomas and Melissa not only joined their lives together but also their families. Honestly the weather was pretty nasty but the Shoenberg Arid House wrapped us in a warm, desert light and made every moment feel cozy and beautiful. Happy Anniversary!

I met a family through The Bennett Project whose quiet strength stopped me in my tracks. That session reminded me that bravery often lives in tiny, everyday moments—the way a hand squeezes another or a smile that says "we're here." Photographing them was an honor; their love and resilience left me feeling humbled and hopeful. Read their full story here: https://bit.ly/AFamilyofQuietStrength

Who says headshots have to be boring? I had a blast with two lovely ladies from the south office of Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Select Properties, creating lifestyle-forward headshots that feel real and relaxed—not stiff or uptight. I love capturing the little gestures, genuine smiles, and confident energy that tell your story both professionally and personally. Want headshots that actually feel like you? Send me a DM to book.
