Nicole LaMotte

A dynamic, accomplished interior and travel photographer for 20 years, Nicole brings a unique eye to capturing and articulating a home’s character. Having worked with some of today’s most influential interior designers, publications, and brands, she brings her keen, editorial eye to her real-estate portfolio. 

A Santa Monica resident for 17 years, Nicole’s reputation and photo business is built on her long-standing client relationships based on expertise, integrity and her savvy sense of style. Her transition into real estate is a natural path given her passion for home, people and exploration. She understands that while looking at a house can be exciting, the actual transaction  can be daunting and emotional.  Nicole works to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible while walking alongside her clients the whole way. 

Nicole is an alumnus of Miss Porter’s School, where she serves on the Alumnae Board and received her undergraduate degree from Columbia College in Chicago. She studied photography at The Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara.

Outside of work, Nicole takes lessons learned from her father by giving back. She has photo-documented the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable populations including those in Africa, India and Haiti. Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, moved by the orphans she encountered there, Nicole made a return trip with a fellow artist, running an art-therapy program for the affected children in Port au Prince.
