Hi Everyone! My name is Nicosha and I am the owner of The WillowOak Lens. We are located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of New York.

The WillowOak Lens is a reflection of how I see the world—soft moments, real connection, and stories that deserve to be remembered just as they are. Inspired by the grace of the willow and the strength of the oak, my work is rooted in capturing images that feel both gentle and lasting.

Motherhood has deeply shaped my perspective, teaching me how quickly seasons pass and how meaningful the smallest moments can be. It’s influenced the way I photograph—with patience, empathy, and an appreciation for the beautifully imperfect. I’m drawn to natural light, honest emotion, and the in-between moments: the quiet cuddles, playful chaos, and love that lives in everyday life.

Alongside storytelling portraits, I also offer professional real estate photography, providing clean, inviting images that help homes shine and tell their own story.

Whether photographing families or properties, my goal is the same: to create images that feel warm, honest, and intentional. From growing families to growing spaces, I capture what makes each moment and property special.
