I began my passion in photography simply taking fun, spontaneous snapshots of family, friends and nature. What began as an occasional hobby, has turned into a thriving, consuming fire. As the saying goes "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" and I believe that is the truth. I started Nicole Long Photography in the end of April 2011, at the age of 19, upon graduating with my Associates Degree in Photography from Tompkins Cortland Community College. I am now 31 and 12 years in business. I enjoy working with people and genuinely consider it a privilege to be a small part of those special moments and memories.
