On my recent trip to Cleveland, Dre & I stopped at Lake Erie. Its WILD how a lake can look exactly like a beach. It was absolutely amazing to walk up and down the beach and collect rocks, people watch, and feel the breeze on our skin. Something about water brings a sense of PEACE that takes worries away. Its MESMERIZING to watch WAVES DANCE, and I can NEVER get enough of people watching!!! It soothes the soul.

Little furry guy didn’t make it.

Drift wood? Nah, beautiful art. The lines are captivating.

WORST PART OF THE WALK WAS DISCOVERING THIS POWER PLANT. UGH.

Waves dancing. I LOVE IT!

Dre helping me collect rocks. I had the urge to gather rocks but now I have huge bag of rocks that I have no clue what to do with.

Yep they got in trouble. Noooo not skinny dipping! They were too far out and the tide was intense.

We weren’t the only ones who liked chasing them!

At the end of our walk we watched the sunset and chased seagulls. Thats what I call a GOOD DAY!

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!
