Holy moly, do you know how much I love California? This is my dream state despite the lack of water and high cost of living. I would drop everything (except for my husband of course) and move here in a second! You are probably asking yourself, “Why was she out there?”. Well I shot a wedding and from the wedding we traveled down to visit family in Fullerton, Orange County, and from there we went to to Los Angeles. We did a lot of sight seeing in between which tickled me pink! Have I mentioned how much I enjoy street photography and people watching? Well I do! During our travels we stopped in Laguna Beach, Venice Beach, Hollywood, and many more. I think the thing I like most about this beautiful state is the “chill” mindset and never ending sunshine. Seriously- I could bathe in California sunshine!

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!
