When you haven’t been to the beach all summer and you get to go, you feel like you hit the jackpot – – even if it’s for a few days! Dre & I went down to Virginia beach to visit our close friends and had a blast! Once we got to the beach we stopped at a dog friendly park where we let Hokie run. We spent the rest of the weekend with our close friends, Stafford & Kerry (the sweetest people ever). They have the most beautiful dog named Maverick so Hokie & him played on the beach the next morning. Later on, Dre & I checked out The Van’s East Coast Surf Competition that was randomly going on when we were there. It always falls on the weekend we go which is AMAZING. The waves were a little choppy so there was a lot of respect for the people holding it together. We finished off the trip with a some boardwalk – people – watching and a trip to Waterman’s. Waterman’s is a staple site at this beach and such a treat!

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!
