Let me handle that for you.
I create photos and videos that capture the moments you're too busy living to document yourself.

Running a business, raising a family, and keeping everyone happy—who's capturing YOUR story?

more of my story →

The difference is in the details, and I notice them all. I see the way you want to be seen, anticipate what you need before you ask, and create images that feel as intentional as they look. Whether it's your brand or your family, you deserve a photographer who gets it. You want more candid, lifestyle moments? I got you. You want more polished, studio-vibes? I'm your gal. Just like your coffee order, you deserve a custom experience tailored to you. 

Let's create something you'll love—coffee spills, and all.

Wife, mama of three, and creative entrepreneur. Just like you, I wear a lot of hats. My secret? Coffee, intention, and knowing when to ask for help.

"Nikki has helped me with photoshoots of all different kinds, ranging from personal family photos to group photos with Santa to brand photos of my business.

Lauren Paylor

Every detail, every emotion, every candid shot was perfectly preserved. The photos are stunning, full of life and energy, and somehow they managed to be everywhere at once without ever being intrusive."

"From start to finish, they brought so much professionalism, creativity, and warmth to my event.
