"Highly recommend working with Nina! We needed to do a family portrait session on short notice ahead of our dog having major surgery. She accommodated our schedule and then met with us when the weather was looking a little ominous. We fit in a fantastic 45-minute session between rain storms. Nina directed our shoot quickly and efficiently to capture beautiful memories for us. She delivered a lovely gallery with lots of variety to choose from with a 1 week turn around. Thank you, Nina!"

"I had a great experience with Nina in doing some professional headshots to update my linked in page, as well as for my company's website. She was prompt, had a keen eye for the location, and overall made me feel comfortable as we went through the process of capturing the photos. She promised the delivery of the photos by the end of the following week and delivered them within 4 days.
Overall, from scheduling, to flexibility with meeting me at the location of my choice and delivery of the photos, Nina was the consummate professional. I highly recommend her work, and will use her again in the future."

Nina has an amazing ability to understand the moment and it's captured in her photography. I have never seen my son respond to having his picture taken with anyone the way he did with Nina. She took us to such a unique and cool spot, which speaks to her creativity and keen vision. My son was having the time of his life. We can't thank her enough for capturing such beautiful pictures!"

Nina is an amazing photographer. She is extremely professional and personable. We had a group call with her initially where re got to ascertain our expectations and iron out specific details, locations, and dates that were available for both of us. She wrote out a contract for us from this first conversation. From that point on she was very receptive and accommodating to our concerns and wishes.Shew as always positive in our corner sharing the details that she was concerned with considering her expertise. On the day of the shoot, we met promptly at our agreed location and began the process in earnest. It was our first time doing a photo shoot with a photographer and we came into the situation with expected anxiety. Nina approached our anxiety with a relaxed and friendly demeanor which really helped to ease our concerns and establish an enjoyable and fun atmosphere filled with jokes to help pass the time. Her knowledge of poses and command of the process shows through in our finished product. She really knows how to direct subjects to get the absolute best-looking pictures. We are extremely proud of how they look and love to show them off to anyone that wants to see. One of our regrets about our wedding was that the photographer that we got initially ruined our pictures and did such a poor job overall that we both were extremely sad knowing that our memories of that day would be mired in this poor effort. Nina corrected this completely with this shoot and gave us something that we really thought we lost out on. We cannot wait to make an album for ourselves that we can display on our mantle piece and look back on for years to come. Nina is fantastic!

"My time with Nina was absolutely wonderful. We weren't sure about the weather at first, and even with the rain, everything was beautiful. I had a blast and there were signs of God truly had a hand in the photoshoot. From the beautiful rainbow, to the bunnies and cardinal, I really felt my mom was there with me which made it even more special. Thanks again, Nina for making my photo shoot so memorable."

"Very easy going and super easy to work with. Shooting my then 13 month old daredevil son, it was nice to have the same reflexes in our photographer as it allowed me to step back a bit more and let her do her thing while knowing she would catch him. Turn around time for first peek edits was fantastic. She knew what she wanted in the photos yet had no knowledge of the location and despite that, helped guide me to settings/lighting and worked well with him moving all about. Will definitely work with again!"
