Welcome! I'm a wedding photographer, wife, and mom to a sweet baby boy we call John-John.

I started this business because I believe that every couple deserves not only gorgeous images from their wedding day, but an experience that allows them to be fully present and feel absolutely incredible!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Julian and his sweet parents many times and it is so much fun getting to see him change! From a little guy who could hardly sit up to a walking, talking little boy, he is growing up before my eyes.

The first thing you notice about Nikki is her sweet smile and warmth 🙂 Paired with her restorative, calm yoga classes, she is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend her if you’re in the area and looking for an instructor!
