Rosie Alyea, blogger of the yummy website, Sweetapolia just came out with her new book The Sweetapolita Bakebook, that hit shelves on April 7th, 2015!!! If you have ever been to her website its seriously magical; pastels, pinks, and tons of sweetness! To celebrate her new launch, Gourmand Baker,  and Posh PR,  came together to recreate some of the fabulous recipes in her book!! Seriously- go out and buy her book, you’ll be drooling and baking for days!
Gourmand Baker’s very own Laura Hayes created all of these masterpieces and I was astonished at the amount of detail that goes into decorating! Posh PR’s Caroline Byrgman styled everything and made it look like it was out of magazine (she is amazing at that!).  Her love of unicorns, pinks and pretty things really made the deserts come to life!! The girly, girl in me started to come out and I fell in love with it all.
The soft pastels, creamy whites, golds and pinks were all eye candy but I must say that there was something else that caught my attention the most- The sprinkled milk jugs. I truly had to contain myself from reaching over and drinking them! The jugs were filled with the freshest, creamiest milk, and the rims were coated with colorful sprinkles! Who wouldn’t want to drink them? I guess this means I’m just going to have to make them and serve them at my house!!

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!
