I've had a camera in my hand my entire life - my career in photography was never a question of "if," but "when." After spending a few years doing work in the psychology field, my husband helped me take the leap into professional photography by giving me my first DSLR camera and a photography book. Though I can adapt to any style or client’s request, I am a photojournalist by heart and passion. I use my camera to tell stories by capturing genuine smile lines, happy tears and loving glances. Rather than cookie cutter poses, I prefer to find perfection in the imperfection. I see your wedding day as a show from start to finish that must be captured as so. "This will make a great spread" or "this shot will look great with the detail shot I took earlier." Every photographer has their go to bag of tricks, but I try my best to think of a unique shot for each time I shoot. Your event is something special and should be treated as such. I want your true personality to shine in photos. People who get to know me call me Nico. A nickname that started in my high school years turned out to be a perfect fit, because Niko in Japanese is the sound effect for smile. Coincidence that I tell people to smile all the time, I think not :)
When I'm not working or spending time with my husband, son and two dogs, I enjoy getting crafty (I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest), reading my horoscope and going to the beach.
