Nicole Glenn Photography Blog bio picture

I am a scientist by day and a photographer by night. Follow my journey as I juggle pipettes and lenses in this crazy thing I call life.

Here you will find my most recent work and, if you're lucky, my personal ramblings about Cooper, my love of blueberry muffins, and videos of me dancing. Please contain your excitement. :)

This is the life I love.

On the Road | Big Sur

This past week has been amazing. It is such a blessing to spend time with family and just be away from the norm of hectic work weeks. Part one of our road trip is to the beautiful Big Sur. I am by no means a camper, but I tried! Okay? The gorgeous scenery and Carrie/Thuy’s cooking made it so much easier. If you have not been camping by the Big Sur River, you should change that ASAP. I recommend weekdays, it’s much more…let’s say…peaceful. :) Here are a few shots in and around Big Sur…

Okay, this is in the car, but this trail mix is worth a spot on the blog. There are peanut butter chips hidden in there!

Jessica Noodle Cards and Prints

Jessica and I are similar. Scientists by day, artists by night. We met while working together in the lab and have bonded more recently over art. It is really cool to work with other artists…especially one that can understand my nerdy side. :)

Jessica is also starting her business and you can check out her page on Etsy. We recently decided to do an exchange of services….she is working on some custom cards for my business and I am photographing her recent work.

Here are a few shots…


I can’t wait to get my hands on my new cards! From what I have seen so far they will be BEAUTIFUL!

If you are looking for an artist to do any custom work, Jessica is brilliant at drawing, painting, and sketching. AND, as an added bonus, she is a wonderful person and ridiculously easy to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Jessica, thanks for your hard work! Let Teller know I apologize about the paw incident. :)

On another note…I leave for vacation in 2 days, what what! October is going to be a whirlwind, so it will be nice to be fully rested and re-energized. I will be sure to share some pictures!

Samantha | Senior Portraits

Sigh…to be a senior again. I remember all the anticipation, expectation, and excitement swirling around becoming a senior. It’s your last year of familiarity, having been in school with the same people for most of your existence. One more year, and just outside those double gymnasium doors are endless possibilities.

Samantha just started her final year as a high school student, but she has already had a taste of the real world. Not only is she active at church and school, she is helping run the website for Natural Kidz. Can you say over achiever!? I can. And those are just the type of people I like haha.

Meet Samantha…

Brick by brick…

Um hi Sam, can you say workin‘ it?!?!


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE…

Signing off…

Samantha, it was such a pleasure spending the afternoon with you! I can not wait to see what you accomplish in your life…I know you are destined to do amazing things. Follow your heart, hopes, and dreams, and all else will fall into place. Best of luck with your senior year, rock it out!

You say yogurt, I say, whowhatwherewhen!! Breathing not necessary. :)
