About Nicole Erickson
I am so excited to be on the Kylee Ann Team! This is a place and position I have always imagined I would be in. It is so exciting for the timing to finally be right. I have always felt like my values have aligned with the Kylee Ann brand so, YAY! I am so excited to be working with the amazing Kylee Ann Team. Several of my family members actually knew of my desire to work for Kylee. When we were thinking about moving back to Utah, my sister actually texted me and said, “YAY, You can work for Kylee Ann!
Here is a little bit of an introduction about me!
I am Nicole. I am a small town farm girl from Idaho. I love the mountains and scenery you’ll find in southeast Idaho. I love the community and people from my little town. Living in a small town is like having 900 family members who have your back. I say 900 because that’s the population… and I didn’t even live in city limits! It’s an hour to the closest Walmart from the little town I lived in for 18 years. I’ve since lived in Rexburg Idaho, Queen Creek, Arizona and we currently live in Smithfield, Utah with our three little kids!
When I left my little town after graduating high school, I went to college at BYUi where I met my husband, Blake. We were married just over a year after I graduated high school and that’s when real life began! We have conquered a lot together and it’s crazy how you can grow to love someone even more than you did the day you married them!
I have always loved photography. When I was a little girl, I would take pictures of friends just for fun. I took family pictures and senior pictures and all sorts of things while I was still in high school. I was the yearbook editor for several years. The exposure to photography, cameras, editing, etc. was so so fun for me. That definitely helped me develop my love for photography and documenting memories!
While I lived in Rexburg, I got to do an internship with a local photographer in Idaho and that was a huge turning point in my photography career. I was blessed to learn many business and photography skills. I don’t pick up my camera just for fun as much as I’d like to, but I am happy with my growth and progress over the past 10 years. It brings me so much joy taking pictures for others and helping them create memories they’ll cherish forever. I love taking family pictures the most. It seems like families grow and change way too fast so I loved documenting families!
I love spending time with my family in the mountains. We love going camping even though it’s tons of effort haha! I of course love watching TV and sometimes even write “watch tv” on my to do list. It’s a priority sometimes. My days consist of school pick up and drop off, sports practices, dance lessons, and caring for my little family. I also like to go to F45 in North Logan when I get the opportunity. I love working out and pushing my limits. Accomplishing physically hard things helps me be able to accomplish mentally hard things. I am a friend maker FOR SURE. I love getting to know other people. I am known for asking way too many personal questions. I am genuinely interested in hearing about others’ lives.
There is a little bit about me! I am excited to work with brand and family clients at Kylee Ann Studios and get to know lots and lots of new people! Meeting new people and making friends is my jam!
Kylee started Kylee Ann Photography 9 years ago, and has since grown from a one woman amateur show to a full associate team. We shoot 50-75 weddings a year, and thrive on kindness and service.
