New Kent Winery Engagement | Kimberly & Derek

Kimberly and Derek’s engagement session at the Vineyard Estates at New Kent Winery was nothing short of extraordinary. Their love for each other is so evident and real. They are so natural with each other, and it truly shows on camera. I always love hearing my clients’ stories on how they met, and I think […]

Outer Banks Engagement | Nora & Jeff

I was so excited to spend some time with Nora & Jeff down at the Outer Banks for their engagement session. I grew up going down there every summer so this was a super special engagement session for me. Nora & Jeff had mentioned they wanted water at their engagement session so we knew that this […]

Charlottesville Engagement Session | Alana & Travis

Alana and Travis’ engagement session in the mountains of Charlottesville was my most adventurous session to date and one for the books! I can honestly say we had no clue where we were going to shoot, we just knew we wanted mountains. We met up in Charlottesville and my sweet husband drove us around to random […]

Monument Ave, Richmond, Virginia Engagement Session, Katie + Justin

Can I just say I am loving all these FANTASTIC bride and grooms coming my way?? Katie & Justin are one of them, and we had a blast shooting their engagement session on Monument Ave, in Richmond, Virginia.

Deep Run Park Engagement

Erika and Stephen’s summer engagement session at Deep Run Park was a blast! They even bought along their sweet dog, Chief! This was my favorite part of day because I am totally a dog person! Chief was a total sweetheart and loved his mamma! The coolest thing about these two was that they went to neighboring high schools and not once met […]

HI SUNSHINE!

I'M NICKI

I see the beauty in imperfect things. As a Christ-follower, faith is central to my life, work, and connections. I am fueled by joy, known for my bubbly and sunny disposition, and always with a warm hug. Imperfect beauty inspires my love for all things vintage, abstract art, and real love stories. I love moments full of grit and emotion; life off the beaten path; stunning views along the shore; and the juxtaposition of New York grunge and laid back Cali-vibe. 

As a mother of two, I am very familiar with how quickly life’s most important moments fly by too quickly. I will calmly and seamlessly guide you through frames that will endure. I strive to capture your memories with one-of-a-kind images full of meaning. I cannot wait to connect with you! 

I bring all of these elements to my time with my couples. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I know how to gently guide you through poses that are natural and beautiful. The transition into this sentence doesn’t make sense. Throughout your day, you will feel the love from those there to celebrate
 you two. 
When I’m not photographing weddings, I enjoy long walks in the neighborhood with my husband, my kiddos Tuxie and Sunny, and my labradoodle Hokie.. Also, I am a huge dog-lover! I’m pretty sure heaven is full of dogs. I can’t wait to connect with you, and yes, your pup is always welcome here!
