First off I found all of this stuff at Goodwill (My fav!). I tend to shop all over but find the best deals and treasures there! I think I was most excited about these purple glasses!! $6.25 for for all four, SCORE! They remind me of glasses that Anthroplogie sells and that were used in a styled shoot I did. Thanks Posh PR!

Then we have the beautiful “m” mug which is going to a special person for her birthday! That is an actual Anthropologie item. I got that bad boy for $1.25. Nothing was wrong with it!!!

I also found this ADORABLE little elephant mug (I love finding new mugs!), which is from Target. Unfortunately they discontinued it but I got one! BOOM! Only $1.25.

Lastly, I found this floppy hat, $1.99, which I truly believe is a steal. The same hat at Free People is $58.00!! By the way, my model in the photo is not very happy with wearing it and wouldn’t look me in the eyes. He was in a mood today.

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!
