Hi! My name is Nicolette and I’m a freelance photographer and journalist in Pittsburgh, PA. Last year I was Vice President of and co-ran an online magazine in Pittsburgh called Moxie, which featured small businesses, under-the-radar artists, events and entrepreneurs all in or from the Pittsburgh area. It ran only a year but garnered a lot of attention and appreciation amongst the community. My roles included administrative and management, but also writing articles and taking many of the photos seen on the website. I’ve been taking photos since the age of 15, and within the last 5 years have really focused on expanding my portfolio and freelancing for special events, portrait sessions, weddings, and personal art projects. All work can be seen on my Instagram @npaigex.
