I cannot write enough good things about Nikki! She is SO talented but it goes beyond her abilities to take amazing pictures. She is such a fun person to be around and makes photographs so much more fun and enjoyable with her behind the lens! You don't realize how important the personality of your photographer is until you're taking the pictures, but it makes the world of difference and I can promise booking with Nikki will not only leave you with amazing, genuine pictures, but also tons of laughs and good memories from whatever you hired her to shoot!

Over the past few years I have depended on Fancy This for all our photography needs. Nikki is always friendly, organized, creative and an absolute wonder. I really appreciate her gift of creating quality work when taking photos. She is a true artist, able to capture all those special moments to utter perfection. Additionally, Nikki forms a true personal bond with her clients, she makes you feel so comfortable while maintaining such a professional demeanor behind her camera lens. Whether it was our engagement photos, wedding photos, family photos, or the professional headshots, I cannot recommend this business enough. Absolutely superb!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nikki more than once and I’ve always loved every minute of it. Nikki took an amazing headshot of me. I’ve seen her work in many publications and when I saw that she was teaching a class I jumped at the opportunity to learn some skills. I was really happy to learn that she’s also an amazing teacher! Nikki is the type of person who you want to be best friends with right away. Her talent and personality are unmatched.
