Have fun and look great!

Playful, fun, energetic, beautiful, contemporary wedding and family photography. My goal for every session is to provide you with beautiful images that were fun to create. I walk away from every session knowing that my clients have had an experience being photographed that was nothing like their expectations. I know... most people find it painful to be in front of the camera. The biggest compliment I can get (and I hear it often :) ) is "That was so much fun!" and "I actually like that picture of me!"
In my thirteen years as a photographer I have seen it all. I have gotten stressed out moms to laugh with their daughters just before a wedding, grumpy grandfathers to sing with me and 18 month old children to stare right in the lens. The result - fun on their faces every time!
If you are looking for a photographer with an upbeat, outgoing personality, get in touch! I would love to hear all about your upcoming wedding or help plan your family photo session. Cheers! - Nicki

2020 Protest Photos In Mansfield

This year has been one for the books. As if a pandemic was not enough to drive people crazy and make them live in fear then most education centers and businesses got closed too. The country also experienced unprecedented racial strife. I felt the effects of all of it this year and attended a few protests in support of the change. It was such an overwhelming experience.

Protest Photography in Mansfield

Before being a photographer, I am a human and a responsible citizen of my country. I support justice and have great hopes for the future especially when people are finally becoming aware of the racial injustice in our country. I believe that the first step to solving a problem is to acknowledge it and only then we can make a change.

Below are images from a Black Lives Matter protest in Mansfield over the summer as well as a sit-in protest at Stonehill College this fall. I got some powerful images from the protest. It gave me strength and hope to see that the youth are more aware and ready to make things better for everyone around them.

These issues continue to be at the top of my mind and I hope my photos will encourage others to continue their journey to create a more just world for all of us.
