All About Me

My name is Nicole, but back home most people know me as Marge. I grew up in rural North Dakota, on a farm about 20 miles from the closest town.
​
Growing up, I was a tomboy, but a city girl at heart. I did radio and television for three years in high school, before deciding to pursue journalism in college. Sophomore year, I transferred to University of Hawaii at Manoa where I now study "Digital Advertising Production" or a self-designed Interdisciplinary Studies major.
​
My love for photography sprouted from a school project making an ad for Chobani Yogurt, springing me into photography, and digital advertising.
​
A fun fact: most of my creativity and dreams are demo ads for everyday products.

Sol Snaps LLC
​
At Sol Snaps, my goal is to capture moments that show connections, passions, life - not just someone's face. Originally, it was Marge's Media, but a rebrand in July 2025 brought about a new look and name.
​
My photography style isn't defined by anything but a fun usage of light, hence the name Sol Snaps. My favorite prop? The Sun.
​
Why me?
​
Sol Snaps is dedicated to making memories accessible and affordable, because everybody deserves memories that last a lifetime. My style isn't defined, as I edit according to the vibe of the shoot, but typically my strength is editorial work.
​
Also, being in advertising makes me think of unexpected ways to play with positioning and light, giving my creative brain an outlet, and you a one-of-a-kind experience.
​
I listen and plan concepts carefully, and the consultation is to make sure we have the same vision going in. If I don't think I can achieve your vision, I'll tell you.

I hope I can see you soon! My info is below to get in touch and get creating!
