Baltimore Inner Harbor Engagement Session | Kathryn & Arun

My engagement session with Arun and Kathryn at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland was beyond amazing. Can I just say, I love Baltimore? This was my second visit up there and I feel like it’s an East Coast, Seattle. There are so many cute, hip shops and the harbor is incredible. When Kathryn and Arun walked […]

God Has A Better Plan Than You

It blows my mind how God works in each person’s life. There are close to 8 billion people in this world and God gets personal with EACH person in a unique way. Well God used my dog to teach me a valuable lesson – God’s way is the BEST WAY. This is truly an embarrassing story […]

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!
