WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER IN Gainesville, florida & WORLD WIDE.

ask me a question

I know how overwhelming it can feel to be in front of the camera, to trust someone with your most important memories, or to even know where to begin. That’s where I come in—not just as your photographer, but as your guide, hype girl, and calm in the chaos.

A few things about me:
I’m a total bookworm (if you love a good slow-burn romance, we’re already friends)
I have an obsession with pretty stationery and handwritten notes
Dogs? Always yes.
Fresh flowers in the house = instant joy
Taylor Swift lyrics live rent-free in my head
I’m a mom to four girls, so I get the wild, the real, and the deeply meaningful

How I can help you:
I’ll capture your wedding day with heart and intention, so your photos feel as real as the moment
I’ll guide you through posing that feels natural and never forced
I’ll help you feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated—especially if photos usually stress you out
I’ll create space for your motherhood and family story to unfold just as it is: beautiful, messy, and full of magic

Whether you’re planning a wedding, stepping into motherhood, or soaking up your family’s everyday magic—I’m here to help you hold onto it forever.

I’d love to connect with you more.
Reach out and let’s start planning something beautiful together. 💛

From Shorelines to Storytelling

My current obsessions

Chasing golden hour through the palms—scouting hidden, breathtaking spots that are kid-friendly and sunset-drenched perfection. Give me wide open skies, a breezy path, and your crew ready to make some magic.

There’s something about palm trees and wild coastal blooms that has me completely hooked. The textures, the golden light, the way they frame a moment—unexpectedly beautiful, every single time.

This year it's my resolution to take more self portraits. It's something I've always wanted to try but I was always scared to be the one in front of the camera. Now I love it!

Wedding Day

"Nikki didn’t just photograph our wedding—she told our love story. Every image feels like a memory we can hold in our hands. She made us feel so at ease, guided us through every moment with calm and joy, and captured things we didn’t even realize were happening. We’ll treasure these forever."
— Samantha + Jake

motherhood

"I’ve never felt more seen. As a new mom in the thick of it, I wasn’t sure how I’d look or feel in front of the camera—but Nikki brought out the beauty in the chaos. She captured the tiny, quiet moments with my son that I never want to forget. I cried seeing my gallery."
— Rachel M.

families

"This wasn’t just a photo session—it was an experience. Nikki has this amazing way of making our family feel relaxed, like we were just playing together while she worked her magic. The images are so us—laughing, snuggling, chasing each other—and I love every single one."
— The Lewis Family
