Hello & Welcome!

My name is Nia (N-EYE-UH). I photograph weddings not just to document a day, but to preserve the quiet glances, the loud laughter, the fleeting, sacred seconds that slip by unnoticed. My lens seeks emotion—raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. While joy is often at the heart of what I capture, I’m drawn to the full spectrum of feeling: the nerves before a first look, the stillness in a held breath, the soft ache of a parent’s embrace.

I shoot in both film and digital, weaving the grain and texture of analog with the clarity and flexibility of modern tools. Color gives life to vibrant moments; black and white distills them to their essence. I work mostly with natural light—its shifting softness, its golden warmth—because it allows each image to feel as real as the moment it holds.

My work is guided by intuition, emotion, and a deep respect for storytelling. Every frame is a memory made tangible.
Fun Facts:
  • I am obsessed with the Talking Heads, ABBA and
Khruangbin. My music taste is a mix of alternative, indie, 80's New Wave, 90's R & B, Reggae, EDM, classic rock.
  • I will probably be on your wedding dance floor, shooting & dancing.
  • Picnics in the park are top tier 
  • Spicy Margaritas, Lagers, Kettle Sours are my fav after work drinks
  • Sushi, Ramen, and a steak dinner. 

 “A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.” – Irving Penn
