Nikole Herriott

Nikole Herriott is one half of the creative team, Graydon Herriott alongside Michael Graydon.

Michael was first introduced to photography when as a kid his family spent countless hours in the flickering light of vacation slideshows in the basement. The gift of his fathers’s old Pentax Spotmatic when he was twelve further fanned the spark of Michael’s passion for photography.

He also really, really, loves cats.

Nikole came to photography after a career as a pastry chef and a poli sci degree. She mistakenly thought being a career diplomat meant slow moving fans, wide linen pants and glorious hotel lobbies with potted palms. Turns out, that’s not at all it. ;) She loves grocery stores, citrus trees and swimming in the ocean. Her favourite food is dessert.

The two met when Michael was on assignment to photograph Nikole and her online shop, Herriott Grace. After dating for about a year, they found their chemistry extended to a creative partnership as well.

They feel lucky to travel and take pictures together and call it a job. Though most times, it doesn't feel much like work at all.
