rustic country

Rediscover the quiet beauty of the countryside with rustic country. This vibrant digital nature photograph captures a raw, untouched hillside brimming with natural textures and earthy tones. The winding barbed-wire fence, weathered over time, stands as a symbol of strength and history, while the vivid greens of the wild landscape breathe fresh life into the scene.

Every detail has been thoughtfully composed and edited to evoke both nostalgia and a fresh perspective—making this piece as much about storytelling as it is about visual impact.

Perfect for elevating any room, this artwork thrives as a grounding element in dynamic spaces. Whether it’s framed for a contemporary office, printed on canvas for a cozy living room, or added to a gallery wall for that eclectic touch, Rustic Resilience effortlessly bridges the gap between nature’s calm and your space’s character.

bringing back an oldie but a goodie from deep in the archives

[digidesignsbynicole]

It’s 80° outside, but my brain’s still stuck in fall.

I never dreamed of autumn growing up in Orange County, CA—because let’s be real, we don’t have it. But the first time I saw these midwest colors? Yeah, it hit. That warm, golden light. Maple trees that look like they’re on fire.... A suburban street straight out of an indie film.

This photo feels like a scene you remember, even if you’ve never lived it. And now it lives rent-free in my head (and hopefully, on someone’s wall🤞🏻). Especially when it's starting to get warm.

✧ Available as a high-res digital download on gumroad ✧

📸 Scuffed, stacked, and probably louder than they look. There’s a certain poetry in gear that’s been dragged to a few too many gigs.

Texture, tone, and a little mystery—now available to hang on your wall.

🖼️ Comes in five high-res sizes. Grab it in the shop

Sometimes the best photos happen when you're not even trying.

Caught this moment just jamming while we hung out. The late afternoon light, the duo-tone shadows, the blur of motion — it felt like pure electric energy. 🎸 (& some good editing)

Captured on a whim, but it's a fav

[Available as a high-res print on gumroad if you want to bring some indie/grunge vibes to your walls.]

He was just playing guitar in his room. I had my camera. You know how it goes......

Something about the light, the quiet, the way his fingers moved—this one stuck with me.

An intimate little moment that feels like a song you only hear once, but think about forever.

✨ Available as a digital print -> [📸]—for anyone who loves music, mood, and meaning.

found: one guitar, mysteriously more emotionally available than most people.

somewhere between a still life and a movie scene, this moment happened in Redding, CA.

soft lighting, vintage cushions, and just enough drama to make you wonder what song was almost played. wanna take a guess what it was?? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

saw a log under a bridge and thought, “yeah this needs a mirror.”

part of a series where i tried to mess with reflections and accidentally made my brain glitch. is it urban decay? is it nature reclaiming its turf? is it just a tree with commitment issues? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

either way, it made me stop and stare. so now it gets to live on the internet (or on your walls --> 🛒)

Ever get smacked in the face by the sky? Same.

I was photographing an event at Free Chapel OC when this massive cross caught my eye—just stabbing dramatically into a textured sky like it was auditioning for an A24 film. I had zero chill. I stopped what I was doing, pointed my camera up, and snapped this.

Then edited it to lean even harder into the mood because… obviously.

It’s a bit faith, a bit modern minimalism, and a whole lotta drama in one photo.

I offer 5 high-res versions of it on Gumroad—print it big, small, square, altar-sized, whatever. (kinda)

Reposting because it just fits this weekend....

Seen from below, reaching upward. A little moody, a little hopeful—like Easter itself.

It’s giving woodland concert for squirrels.

Found this acoustic guitar casually vibing against a tree in the middle of the forest, like it had just dropped a folk album and needed a moment to reflect.

Moody, quiet, and a little poetic—just how I like my nature walks and my playlists. (most of the time)

📸 Moody forest photography meets rustic charm. Available as a high-res digital download in my shop!

retro vibes

Ever wished you could own a classic Thunderbird but don't have the garage space for it??? Same. But problem solved. This high-resolution digital photography print lets you bask in the retro glory of one without having to change the oil.

Captured at the Main Street Garden Grove Classic Car Show in Southern California, this image showcases the legendary Thunderbird emblem against the ultra-glossy, mirror-like paint job. The distorted reflections of trees, vintage cars, and wandering people add a dreamlike quality—kind of like stepping into an old Hollywood movie, but with better parking options.
