Let's get really for a moment. Planning a photo shoot for many is really stressful, and honestly, it shouldn't be. You should be able to go into the session ready to watch your little one be themselves, and sit back and soak those moments in. 18 years may seem like forever, but in the grand scheme of things, those year FLY by. Time doesn't slow down, if anything it speeds up. So give yourself permission to feel, to take it in, to be present and to live.
The experience
I have always love taking pictures, just ask my friends from high school.... (Sorry to those friends, haha). And all it took was a little push from my photog bestie to take a passion/dream and turn it into a reality and career.
As my own two little were born and grew up, capturing those moments that seem to fly by became such a mission of mine. I know that once i blink, I will be capturing my own littles SENIOR YEAR pix and I can tell you, I am really not ready for that.

Get to know me
I separated and branched out my CHILDREN's division as my own kids got older. While I loved having them under the Nikii Pix name, I felt a greater calling to create something more unique and specialized towards what works for kiddos. A long session with family doesn't always hold the kiddos attention and with other family members around, capturing their own silliness doesn't always come out.
The mood and the approach I feel is absolutely different with these style of sessions as well. While Maternity and Newborn sessions are more relaxed, tranquil and quiet, Children need that outlet to run and play. So when we do a child session in the studio, it becomes a race track for ride along toys, monster trucks, barbie cars and so much more.
But not muffling the wildness that runs through their veins, I am able to capture alot of amazing images that will stop you in your tracks. And when we head outside, we can play on a playground, or go out to your farm to ride around on the 4 wheelers, there are no limits to holding tight to your little ones.

FAQ
With all my sessions, it is a personal mission of mine to make sure that each session is relaxed and not rushed or overwhelming. Therefore, itty bitty minis are only for a single child. You can book two itty bitty minis back to back for multiple children or a milestone session.
Can I include other siblings in an itty bitty mini?
Each session is designed to be easygoing and relaxed. My style is more documentary and lifestyle, so we will capture them playing and even snuggling with a favorite toy or blanket. So with that, perfectly posed is not my style, nor do I force children to look at me and the camera. I can not guarantee images that will have them looking right at me. If that is the style you are looking for, I am not the right photographer for you.
What happens if my child doesn't cooperate?
While I fully support people bringing in cakes and balloons, I don’t include these or provide them due to allergies.
This is something that we will discuss and finalize during our brainstorming session. These options are ONLY available with a Milestone session.
Do you provide balloons or cake for sessions?
As an artist, I retain complete ownership of the images that I take. However, I do respect peoples wishes to not have their children on social media or displayed via samples, in my portfolio, or in marketing documents. For any request to NOT show your child(ren)s images, I do ask that you submit a written request to be included in your portal.
