We had the good fortune of connecting with Talia Nicole and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Talia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting something new always comes with taking a risk & stepping out into the unknown. I first started my photography business with shaky hands but a confident heart. I was afraid of failure & many more things but if I never tried, I’d never know what the outcome would be. The stressful thoughts that come with starting a new business flooded my head as I stepped into this journey but what remained through those thoughts was my heart behind it all. I wanted this so badly, so I ran after it with my entire heart & I’m so glad I did.

Alright, for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
“My heart is for the madly in love.”

That is the statement behind my business. I believe that we are called to love & to be loved. Love is a feeling every single person on this earth has either felt or desires to feel in some type of way. I just want to stand behind the camera to capture that. I believe every one deserves to be loved and one way to capture that for me is through my camera lens. I want to capture the love of your life getting down on one knee asking you to spend the rest of your life with them, or your maternity session for the baby you have prayed to have. These moments are so special and you deserve to have them captured.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m a California kid through and through, so obviously the beach would be the first place on my list. I would drive PCH up the coast to malibu and stop by my favorite sandwich shop at Malibu Farms & enjoy a nice picnic lunch on the beach.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband deserves all the hype and praise when it comes to starting this business. He was the one who encouraged me daily to pursue this big dream I had. He did everything to make this dream a reality. When I doubted, he was the voice that told me to keep going. He still is to this day my biggest supporter.
