Senior Session + Chris

June 12, 2015

First off Chris was an absolute NATURAL at his senior session; laughing, modeling, he did it all! His smile was so genuine and you could really see his funny, sweet nature come out in his shots. Secondly, I am a huge fan of his hair. Lets be honest, in this day and age coming across a redhead is a rare thing! If you don’t know him, Chris is Pastor Pete’s son of Hope Church in Richmond Virginia (if you haven’t been you need to go, its awesome). Chris loves sports and his faith is very important to him! Christopher just graduated and is heading to Radford University to study criminal justice! Best of luck Chris!

Hope Church Senior Session

IM 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!
