A Story of Love, Sunshine, and Family

There are some sessions that don’t just photograph beautifully—they feel like magic in the moment. Adriana and Ashley’s Big Talbot Island Session was exactly that. Set against a golden Florida sunset, it was filled with joy, connection, and the kind of love that radiates through every frame.

Big Talbot is one of those places that always delivers. With its twisted driftwood, quiet shoreline, and wild beauty, it sets the perfect stage for stories like theirs. But what made this session truly shine wasn’t the setting—it was the way Adriena and Ashley looked at each other. Like they were home.


Sweet Daniel & a Whole Lot of Love

And of course, their son Daniel stole the show more than once. He brought so much energy and light to the session, hugging tight and giggling with the kind of joy only kids can bring. It’s clear he’s the heart of their world—and the way both moms looked at him melted me.

Family is what this session was really about. The love between Adriana and Ashley is strong, steady, and full of fire—but the bond the three of them share is what made this gallery sing. Every moment was effortless. Every frame felt like a heartbeat.


September Can’t Come Soon Enough

Their wedding is just around the corner, and after this session, I’m counting the days. If their Big Talbot Island engagement session is any indication, their wedding day will be filled with warmth, intention, and so much laughter. I’m honored to be part of this chapter and all the ones to come.

Capturing stories like Adriana and Ashley’s is why I do what I do. These are the moments that matter—the little ones, the in-between glances, the way a hand fits perfectly in another.

I’m a movement loving, people celebrating, emotion chasing wedding photographer based in North Central Florida. I work with couples who are done with expectations and ready to build a celebration that feels layered, intentional, and completely their own.

I’m part visual storyteller, part steady planner, part calm in the middle of the whirlwind. Because incredible wedding days don’t come from a template. They’re shaped with care and intention. With me, you’ll always know what’s next, where to step, and when to just breathe it in. And if your hair decides to do its own thing, I’ll catch that too.

I'm Nikki

Hi there!

Not sure you’re ready yet?

it's never too early (or late!)

That’s more than okay. Most couples reach out before the details are set. No date. No venue. Maybe not even a location. Just a feeling that it should be something unforgettable.

Bring me the ideas, even if they’re still forming. Turning big visions into intentional, beautifully executed celebrations is what I do best.
