Nicola Harger Photography LLC

What Nicola Harger Photography LLC does

Nicola Harger Photography LLC is a Nashville, Tennessee-based commercial photography business structured as a single-member LLC founded by photographer Nicola Harger. The company was established in 2018 (per the firm's website copyright spanning 2018–2025) and is built on the founder's 10+ years of professional photography experience. It delivers lifestyle, beauty, portrait, product, and interior photography, plus motion/video production, primarily for direct-to-consumer brands, editorial outlets, and creative agencies on a project basis.

The company operates a direct-to-client go-to-market motion via its own website (nicola harger.com), where prospective clients initiate bookings through a contact form using the founder's email address. Pricing is project-based and published on the site starting at $5,500 per project, positioning the firm in the mid-market commercial segment. A second revenue channel exists through stock image licensing via the Stills/Stocksy marketplace, which provides royalty income on imagery placed for editorial and advertising use. The client roster includes consumer brands such as Soho Home, Mejuri, Warby Parker, Amazon Music, Google Fiber, Tubby Todd Bath Co., Needed, Lunya, and Sports Clips, alongside editorial titles including Elle, MyDomaine, Coveteur, Us Weekly, Homes & Gardens, and MilK Decoration. Travel is undertaken as required, extending the effective service area nationwide.

The business is inherently capacity-constrained by its solo structure: project throughput is limited by the founder's available shooting days plus post-production time, and there are no additional disclosed employees, no outside funding, no intellectual property filings, and no proprietary technology platform or AI tooling referenced. Service breadth (still photography plus motion video plus stock licensing) provides some revenue diversification, but volume ceiling is set by a single principal's time.
