THIS IS WHAT SOME OF MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT ME
"Nina is absolutely gifted and does beautiful and professional work. She photographs my girls twice each year and the results are incredible. Highly recommend!"
JENNIFER B
"Nina has taken family pictures for us several times, and she is wonderful. Our daughters (5 and 7) have a ton of energy, and Nina was able to make it fun for them and get it done quickly. She even made it work with my mom's dog, who is pretty lazy. The pictures came out beautifully, and we could not be happier."
CHRISTINE B
"Love Nina's work! She photographed my team in the fall, and while family photos are her preference (I could see how she would be great with kids!), she did such a great job and managed to show everyone in their best light. We get compliments on our team photos all the time."
SHANNON C
"We've used Nina's photography services twice for our program's yearly retreat and she is incredible! Great photographs, great photographer, great attitude. Highly recommend her services if you're in need of any type of photography, from professional headshots to candid working pictures of any kind of event."
DAVID C
"If I could give Nina more than 5 stars I would! Extremely talented photographer that is willing to go above and beyond to make your photos amazing. She came out before our photo shoot to explore the surroundings to make sure we had proper lighting and space. She had super fun ideas and was such a pleasure to work with. We were so impressed with her professionalism but how down to earth she was. Will hire her again and again. She was able to capture some pretty amazing photos with very unphotogenic people. She captured true personalities as well."
