ABOUT
You might be thinking that you aren't photogenic or that you hate having your photo taken -- I promise you that my photo shoots are easy and fun and it is an experience that you will never forget. We do your hair & makeup and help you decide what to wear based on your personal style and you will end up with the most beautiful photos you have ever seen of yourself.
I take the stress out of having photos taken.

There is no better honor than when you trust me to create your family heirlooms or take your personal branding photos for work or make you a model for a day for your senior pictures or glamour style portraits. I want to take photos of you and your mother or daughter or sister or best friend. I want you to look at your photos and say, "WOW, that is ME! I look so beautiful!" I am grateful every day that I get to do this for people.
I absolutely love creating portraits for people.

I have been a bridesmaid 12 times.
Traveling makes me incredibly happy and I will go anywhere in the world for your photo shoot. Iceland, Morrocco, St. Lucia, Paris, Austin...you name the place where you dream to be photographed!
I was a school social worker before I was a professional photographer.
I was born & raised in Michigan, but I live in Seattle with my husband, son, and pup.
I have studios in both Plymouth, Michigan and in Seattle.
A few things about me ...

"I never like photos of myself, so I was certain I wasn't going to like very many of my photos. I even prepared a speech to tell Nikki during my photo reveal, 'It's not your photography, it's me'. Well, I saw the photos and I bought her largest package! I was brought to tears. I finally have photos of myself that I love!" ~Zo
"Just a note to say thank you! I really love my images, they are the perfect combination of variety, my true self, who I want to be and how I feel with my husband. I will cherish these in so many ways. Your expertise and easy to talk to ways helped me to feel comfortable and confident."~Alisa
"After my photo shoot, I updated my LinkedIn and facebook pictures. I started getting messages & comments from people saying how happy they are that my business is doing so great & that I have done so well for myself. They only thing that changed was my photos! That is the power of a photograph." ~Nikki R.
"My mother & friends always tell me I'm beautiful, but these photos are legitimate confirmation! I look like myself, but just a little more glamourous, and HAPPY. I look like my best self." ~Amy
"Oh my, haven't seen myself glammed up like this before, but I have to say it feels good to see myself this way after a very trying year. The scars and mental anguish (from breast cancer) can take its toll, but your lens didn't capture anything but the good, I can see it in my eyes. Thank you for a wonderful day!” ~Kristi
"I had THE MOST fun doing my photos shoot with Nikki! I felt so comfortable and beautiful in spite of my sheer terror at being in front of the camera. I could tell that her ultimate goal was to make me look and feel like my most beautiful me. And judging from the plethora of comments I got on my photos on Facebook, she helped me do just that!!" ~Heather
