testimonials
“Where do I begin?! Nikia is hands down the best photographer ever! We worked with her for several years until she moved to another state and boy do we miss her. The way her creative mind works is like none other. My daughter had MANY great experiences with her and she executed each and every shoot perfectly. She also shot my son's high school graduation pictures and they turned out phenomenal! If you ever want great quality photos that are fun, and creative and pictures that you'll love forever. Book Nikia now! You won't regret it!”

I'm Nikia!
Capturer of Nonsense + Everything Childhood has to Offer!
I'm a stay-at-home DMV mom turned photography enthusiast, with an affinity for capturing the joyful essence of childhood.
My journey into the world of photography began when I discovered that my own children's laughter & joy deserved to be documented. Learning my way around a camera was definitely a lot of trial & error but this newfound hobby developed into quite the passion for capturing these little MiNi muses of mine. From then on it has been my goal to capture the tiny fragments of childhood magic—that disappear all too quickly.

How do I book a session for my child in maryland, dc, and northern virginia?
My sessions last for 1 hour.
My turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. Updates are given on the status of your gallery because I know you’re excited to see it, and I’m excited to send it over!
I'm all about capturing the real, authentic you! My goal is to showcase your unique personality and the connection your family shares, just as you are. So, no appearance-altering tricks here, only genuine moments and smiles!"
Family and Child sessions are 1 hour and include a print/product credit. Most families invest $1000 when ordering prints/products. The intention behind the credit is to support your order.
Hit the “Book now” button! Or if you'd like to schedule a discovery call, fill out the contact form and a scheduler will be sent your way to pick a convenient time to get things started!
