FINE ART IMAGERY THAT EMULATES
the feeling of coming home
At The Artists Collective, photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about telling stories, preserving emotions, and creating timeless memories. We believe every photo should reflect the essence of the moment, whether it’s the joy of a wedding day, the spirit of a growing family, or the passion behind a brand’s mission. With a blend of creativity, authenticity, and technical expertise, we deliver stunning visuals that speak to the heart.

Let me stop the time for you on your special day
While you get
swept away
in the moment.
Whether it’s the intimate exchanges of daily life, a sophisticated celebration, or a personal milestone, I focus on the quiet, meaningful moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed, allowing you to look back and relive the emotions that define these times. My passion lies in capturing these refined, authentic scenes, turning them into timeless, elegant memories.
Can’t say enough good things about both Nancy and Paola! Both so generous, personable, and kind. And their work is impeccable. I’ve used them for personal occasions (family photos, newborn shoot etc) as well as professional events (event coverage and documenting/generating content for marketing materials) and in both capacities, they are the best. Can’t recommend highly enough, I am so pleased with the quality of their work and the experience of working with them!

Nancy took our engagement photos and I loved them so much. My fiancé and I are a little camera shy, but she guided us the entire time and we felt so comfortable. The results were amazing! We loved the experience from stat to finish. We were invited to her studio and she created an experience for us to view our photos. She also helped us think through what images and sizes we could print out to decorate our home.I highly recommend her she is beyond talented, fun to work with, and you can tell this is something she is passionate about.

Nancy was recommended to me by a friend and I could not be happier with the experience and photographs. I am not a natural model (what do I do with my hands??), but Nancy was able to help guide me through the shoot and the results were beautiful! Nancy is a talented photographer, an artist, and so creative. Whether you need professional headshots, family pics, or just for fun, Nancy is the best.

Nancy is absolutely amazing! She captures the most beautiful moments in a way you can cherish for years. She has done both my maternity shoot (with our dog too), and our newborn photos. Every time someone sees them we get so many compliments on them and wonderment on how we got our dog and baby to look so perfect! We are so lucky to have her in the area to take part in our family’s milestones, and we will be using her for yours to come!

Nancy has beautifully captured my family over the last 12 years from having one dog to now four kids. My walls are filled with all the precious memories of our newborns, first birthdays and wild moments of toddlers. My favorite pictures are the simplest moments that she notices. I have a large black and white canvas of my daughter as a two year old walking on a fog filled beach. It's a treasured piece of artwork in our home and also a memory caught in time. I'm so thankful for all the life that has been captured that I can someday look back on and pass down to my children and grandchildren.

I’ve been passionate about photography since childhood, starting with a neon green camera in the late 90s. After briefly pursuing an English major, I found my true calling in visual storytelling and launched my wedding photography career in Chicago, where I spent 15 years capturing authentic moments. My work has been published widely and recognized by professional societies. After moving to San Antonio, I founded The Artists Collective, focusing on empowering portraiture. With nearly 20 years of experience, I excel at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
