Hey there - my name is Nikki. I'm an Arizona girl with a travelers heart. Recently replanted back in the desert with my high-school-sweetheart turned husband, going on 12 years now) and my two dogs who I love with all of my heart. My photography obsession started in my early years. Stemming from being in my mom’s flower garden when I was 11, snapping photos with my hot pink point-and-shoot digital camera. Since then I've been "the girl with the camera", taking photos of my friends and any travel growing up.

In high school I took two semesters of film photography. Studying film and being in the dark room, learning what it takes to take a great photo completely from scratch. At the time I didn’t think becoming a photographer was possible without fully subscribing to the “starving artist” lifestyle and I loved it enough as a hobby that I didn’t feel the need to pursue it further.

I graduated the University of Arizona (Go Cats) back in 2018 with my Bachelor's in Communications and Minor in Electronic Sciences, focusing on social media and human communication. Even though I tried to make a normal 9-5 work for me, somehow the universe pushed me back towards photography and I ran with it. 7 years later I’m traveling around the world documenting love stories living my literal childhood dream.
