Wow what a great spring! So busy and so much FUN! I don't have anything major booked right now and the fall festivals are still not finalized just yet. For the next few months I will be concentrating of a new group of portraits in my air-conditioned studio and any commissions that come up. I will try and make it to a couple of the markets in Marsalis Park and City Park but that all depends on the weather. You can check back here periodically and I will update should something come up. If you're not already following me on Instagram and/or Facebook please do so @nicoleockmondmusic . If anything last minute pops up I will post there. Since you're here on the website I don't have to remind you that it's open 24/7 and I can ship right to your home.
