More Than Photos—Memories You Can Feel
HI iM nIA
Why I Chose Photography
When I’m asked why I chose to become a photographer, the answer almost always comes from others. It comes from connection — from being present with people, sensing their emotions, and allowing myself to be moved by the atmosphere around me. To feel it, to hold it, and to translate it into an image is what fills me with joy and excitement at every wedding I photograph.
I believe every wedding is unique. Every meaningful occasion you choose to document carries a deeply human purpose and an intimate connection to your inner world. Photography, to me, is about honoring that connection.
As a photographer, I’m drawn to people — to their emotions, their energy, and the stories they carry within. By connecting on that level, I’m able to create images that feel genuine and heartfelt. At the same time, I offer gentle guidance and direction when needed, helping shape a visual narrative that feels natural, cohesive, and expressive. The result is a story that draws you in and reflects who you truly are.
My photographic style moves in two visual directions: one guided by soft, natural light and quiet emotion, and another defined by richer tones, contrast, and cinematic depth. Both approaches are rooted in honest storytelling and intentional design.
Above all, my focus is on creating an experience. I want my clients to feel supported throughout the process — comfortable, seen, and fully present in the moment. Behind my lens, my goal is not just to take photographs, but to create a space where connection can unfold naturally and memories can be preserved with care.

I am a venue owner and a client of Nia’s. I have had the pleasure of watching her photograph brides, styled shoots, boudoir as well as family photos. She has even taken professional photos of the indoor and outdoor spaces at our venue for marketing purposes and they were fantastic. She really does it all! She is very easy to work with and truly loves what she does! Her talent behind the lens shines through in her work! I highly recommend her for any type of photography!
Sarah Taylor Owner Historic Whitewood Venue
I have had the opportunity to work with Nia on two occasions, and I must say she is so great! She is very friendly and polite, yet gets in there and instructs you on what she needs you to do to get the shot. She also does not hesitate to collaborate to come up with ideas and concepts to convey the message the right way. She also does not mind spending time just talking and getting to know you as a person and friend. Her work is amazing as well! Some of the shots she has gotten on our projects have been amazing! Don't hesitate to have Nia work with you on your special project/event!

Joanna Tannenbaum
Working with Nia was amazing! She’s truly a professional that knows how to find the best angle/lighting/photo. She helped make (what can be) an awkward experience, alone in front of a camera, an enjoyable time and the results were astounding. A++++ These photos will be all over our website!

Nia is so warm and joyful, she made my whole family feel comfortable immediately. Our photos from our mini Mother’s Day session are just beautiful; the lighting, editing, and composition are lovely.

Nia does a wonderful job with any kind of photo request you may have. She is professional, on time and friendly. I’ll be calling her every time.
Ravi Patel
Nia came highly recommended, and I see why. She is professional, friendly, and incredible at getting the perfect shots. We were so happy with the photos and recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Bonus, she’s amazing with children!
Elizabeth NicoliSuco
Nia was absolutely incredible with my two boys. I highly recommend her and will use her services again. The photos were beautiful, and were edited & sent to me in a timely manner. I didn’t have high expectations because one of my sons doesn’t love being photographed, but she took her time with him and made it playful and fun for him. I couldn’t believe how stunning the photos came out. I will cherish them forever!!
