Meet Nicole Oldenburg, your photographer. She was, in a previous life, a very bored IBM technical recruiter who enjoyed photography on the weekends. She often daydreamed of a job that she could look forward to every day. Ten years later and far removed from the monotony of her technical recruiting days, Nicole is in her 10th year as owner/head photographer of StudioKids Photography in Menasha.
Your sitting fee includes a follow-up proof viewing with your photographer. Nicole will sit down with you to review your proofs and will help you select the perfect images for your home. If you would like to see a little color in your portraits, StudioKids Photography also specializes in the timeless art of hand-painting with colored photo oils on black and white photographs.

I will share that Nicole and her artistic approach when it comes to capturing the moments of your loved ones is like no other photographer. Being a Mom, you can tell she absolutely loves kids and capturing their beautiful moments. I trusted in this talented women to capture my daughter's youth, photos that are now what I consider to be art. Talent like this does not come free. She is patient, she's fun and engaging, and has an amazing eye behind her camera. I highly recommend her and will continue to do so!

I searched for hours upon hours before I found Nicole and her studio. I was ready to travel to Minneapolis or Chicago to find the right photographer who understood the importance of a true black and white photography. Yes, anyone can click the picture style on their iPhone and claim it's black and white; unfortunately, it is NOT the same outstanding, long-lasting, tonal context and/texture. I found Nicole’s website and fell in love.
I have gone to lots of different photographers in the Fox Valley all claiming from friends or family ---this one or that one is perfect. I would go only to come

StudioKids has photographed my grandchildren for over 15 years. Nicole is extremely talented at capturing all the beautiful expressions and personalities of children. She is patient and a true professional. This is what sets her apart from other photographers in the area. The images she captures, you will forever cherish. I’ve seen work from other photographers in the Appleton area and they are mediocre at best. What Nicole captures is truly special and will be a keepsake for a lifetime. Thank you StudioKids for capturing my special memories!

If you want truly amazing high-quality pictures of your children or family, I highly recommend StudioKids Photography! Nicole is absolutely amazing! She was cheerful, she is wonderful with kids (probably because she has 4 of her own) and she took the time with our family to make sure all of us were in good poses for the pictures. The pictures turned out amazing and I will be returning again!

I have known Nicole for many years, she is not only our family photographer, she is a dear friend! Their is no bias in saying that she has captured moments of my life on film from my wedding day, my 6 year old son growing up, and to our daughters senior pictures. She is a professional through and through! You absolutely get what you pay for at StudioKids! For some to claim to have had a bad experience or expected free photographs, I would assume you go to your place of employment and not expect to get paid for your time!

I loved working with Nicole to get the most adorable pictures of my daughter. She was able to capture her personality in the photos even at 4 months old. The photos are timeless and something our family will cherish forever. Nicole was so easy to work with and so great to my daughter and our family. I would definitely recommend her!

Nicole did an amazing job at capturing moments with our kiddos. We have 3 children and absolutely LOVE the photos!! We got several in color as well as black and white. If you want high-quality photos you can cherish forever, then see Nicole. She will do an AMAZING job. If you just want photos that you leave up for a few months, stick with the mall photo locations. We've spent money on mall photos and professional photos before but the quality you get from Nicole is soooooo much better! The colors pop, the black and whites are amazing, and Nicole truly captures a moment vs. just a pose. That takes

I cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Studio Kids. Nicole was absolutely amazing to work with. She took so much time to not only get amazing photos but interact with our kids. Our kids still ask to go see Nicole again because they had so much fun. We were thrilled with the experience but then to go back and see the photos we were blown away. They aren’t just photos they are art. We treasure them always. Thank you Studio Kids for a wonderful experience.
