The Woman Behind The Lens

Hello,

I’ve been in the photography industry for 10+ years. Many experiences have shaped me into the person I am today and what I strive my business to be, but nothing has shaped me more than seeing and knowing people.

When I’m not shooting, you can catch me outside. Most likely in the sunshine ( gotta get that Vitamin D), on spontaneous adventures with my people, playing pickle ball, tackling a new DIY project, stopping to soak in my surroundings, or listening to a new book.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m glad you are here. I’m Nikki.

Inspired by stories of human experiences, resilience, lake Michigan and Light, I believe that intention is the key to seeing people and seeing people changes how I shoot weddings, families, people - humans.

Born and raised in the state of great lakes. I now shoot exclusively in Michigan.

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”

- Brené Brown

Intentionality to see and be present. Honesty to capture the connection, emotions and surroundings. Seeing the beauty in imperfection. I believe that your trust as a client is the greatest gift you can give me. Trust to capture you and document your day as I see it and experience it.

CURIOSITY, playfulness & adventure

Curiosity gives us the ability to be open, to experience, to make mistakes and learn from them. Photography is documentation and it is also art. The art of seeing people. I seek to approach that with curiosity all the while knowing that it’s sacred in it’s own way. Playfulness & Adventure - I have the honor of being around some of the greatest days of celebration, but with weddings comes the need for flexibly when plans change, I see them as adventures that I am along for!
