Nicola used to be a police detective. Now she’s one of Scotland’s most sought after wedding photographers.
It’s not the kind of career change you hear every day — but once you know what she’s lived through, and what drove her decisions, it all makes perfect sense.
Nicola is a survivor of child sex abuse, and at a young age, decided that she wanted to go after people who cause harm.
And she did exactly that — but over time, the way she was treated in the job pushed her to breaking point. Then, during Covid, things got even tougher.
She walked away and started again. Completely on her own terms.
Nicola’s now thriving, doing work she loves and surrounded by people who value her. But there’s a deeper story that deserves to be told properly.
This is a story of resilience, a refusal to be defined by what happens to you, and complete and victory against the odds.
