Nick Colstad Photography

I’m a photographer with a deep love for the mountains and the coastline of New England — both places that constantly inspire my work.

With me, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Whether you’re looking for something specific or just have a rough idea, I’m all about listening, adapting, and working with you to bring it to life.

I’ll bring my creative eye and experience to the table, but your vision always comes first.

If it involves a camera and a good story, I’m in.
