Saturday I photographed my first beach wedding (barefoot) for the extraordinarily gracious couple, Lisa and Tim. Lisa and Tim had a small, short intimate wedding on Captiva Island at the Tween Waters Inn Resort. The weather was perfect (not too hot, not too cold) with a bit of a breeze in the air, and gorgeous clear turquoise waters. […]

Last night I met up with Austin and Liz for their engagement shoot. Austin and Liz currently live in Williamsport, PA and came in from out of town for their session.  Thank the heavens that once again mother nature was on my side! Am I a lucky girl or what?! Here are just a few […]

Here are a few teasers from my wedding today with Karla and Ryan.  As you can see from the ominous sky we got SO LUCKY with the weather.  It rained all morning, then it quit just in time for the wedding and didn’t start raining again until the indoor reception.  It was like mother nature was […]

This evening I met up with Lorraine and Bill at Presque Isle for a bridal portrait session.  The couple isn’t officially tying the knot until this Saturday (Sept. 8th), but decided to have some bridal portraits done in advance since the ceremony will just be a small intimate event at Lorraine’s mothers home. This couple […]

Yesterday I photographed Liz and Ryan’s engagement party which was held out on Ryan’s parents house in Wattsburg.  Liz and Ryan live in NYC, had their engagement party in Erie, are getting married in San Francisco and will be having their reception / post party with friends in New Orleans. It sounds both wonderful and […]

This season I have been blessed with growing great friendships with a lot of my clients, two of those clients being Matt and Teri who were married yesterday at the Erie Yacht Club.  Here are just a few teasers from their big day! This next picture cracks me up and I promised Matt I would […]

Just of few teasers from my incredibly gorgeous wedding yesterday with the lovely Erin and Matt.  These two were just too cute for words! Loved this wedding!! XoX – Nikki

It was really nice to FINALLY meet one of my 2013 brides Nikki and her Fiance Will last night.  Nikki and Will currently live down in Baltimore and I have talked and e-mailed with Nikki countless times, but last night was our first meeting for the couples engagement session. I’m totally in love with the […]

I am finally editing friend and fellow photographer Kat Ritenour’s family and maternity portraits today, and I came across this group of photos that made me crack up! I just love it! I HAD to create a little animation to demonstrate what it takes sometimes to get that ONE picture, especially with three young children.  […]

I had an absolutely amazing maternity shoot last night with soon to be parents Vanessa and Craig. We started the shoot with just Vanessa because Craig (who is a sports director at WJET) was running a little late because he had some kind of sports thing to report blah blah… HA!  I’m kidding, but when […]
