  • These are images we will treasure forever!!

    We love Nikki!! I cannot recommend her enough. She is professional, fun, gifted, and passionate about her work. She made us feel so comfortable and gave great direction that was easy to follow. Not only is she a wonderful person to spend time with, her work is beautiful and emotive. She captures small moments and movements so perfectly! I would book her again and again for everything from big events to small moments we want to commemorate. These are images we will treasure forever!!

  • If you are considering working with Nikki, throw the rest of your options out the window. She is absolutely PHENOMENAL!

    From her creative eye to her kind personality. She tagged along on my elopement across the country and made the entire process SO flawless. She was there to answer all my questions during the planning phase, worked behind the scenes with our videographer and even talked me off my bridezilla ledge when some things started to go awry during the wedding day. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment of our day (even small details in our Airbnb that we might have missed) in such a way that we feel like we are reliving every moment when we look at our shots! Nikki is your dream photographer- this is your sign!

  • Nikki is amazing!!!

    We've used her services three times now and each time have been very happy with our photos. She recently did our engagement photos and was very prompt with getting us sneak peaks of the shoot. I highly recommend her.

  • Her attention to detail, her fun personality, the ability to capture feelings in each photo, and her amazing quality is unmatched.

    My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Nikki twice now (once for our wedding and again for our maternity pictures and again for our newborn photos) and we are always in awe of the work she does! Her attention to detail, her fun personality, the ability to capture feelings in each photo, and her amazing quality is unmatched. We are so grateful for her and her talent! Thank you for capturing such special milestones in our life and growing with us!

    -Taylor and Cody

  • Nikki exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

    Nikki is VERY talented in her craft. My husband and I took our maternity photos with her (not to mention it was our first time ever doing anything like this).. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera, is super professional and she brought my vision to life! I had mentioned the vibe I wanted and she knew the perfect destination to take the photos at. Nikki exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Highly recommend Nikki for all special occasion photos. Thank you again Nikki for capturing such a beautiful season in our life.

MEET NIKKI

Hey there. My name is Nicolette Baker, but you can call me Nikki. I’m a desert grown, tequila loving, globe trotting dog-mom. I am married to my high school sweetheart (it’s disgustingly cute, I know). We currently live in the pit-stop town of Yuma, Arizona where I spend a lot of time reading, “training for that marathon”, and going on mini getaways with my husband. 

This has always been more than a career to me. Photography has always been a way for me to show people I love them, create beautiful art and keep precious memories forever.

Doing the same thing for other people just makes sense. 6 years later, here we are.
