Nichole Beaudry

Nichole Beaudry is a Northern California photographer, writer, wife and mother of two who, after a busy day of kid wrangling, looks forward to the magical cocktail hour to celebrate surviving yet another busy day. If you stop by her house in the evening, you’ll either find her in the kitchen, pairing food—from the simple to the ambitious—to the perfect beverage or on the back patio with a glass in her hand, enjoying the small moments. Her work has been featured on The Atlantic, Mamalode and SheKnows. You can also find her on her photography site Nichole Beaudry Photography or on her personal blog, in these small moments.

What was your favorite childhood toy?

When I was little, my favorite toy was my Fashion Plates kit. I was certain I’d grow up to be a teacher who designed clothes on the side!
