"Nikki breaks down everything from posing, to client prep, pricing, marketing, networking and gives away all of her secret sauce to really nailing personal branding.

"The marketing section alone was worth the money, which will be made back by one shoot."

"Nikki, has this way of making you feel like she’s saying, “Stand right here, I’ll show you exactly what I do”. Every question that I thought of watching this training, she answered and then elaborated, as though I had follow up questions. I can’t recommend this training enough. I'm sure I’ve watched this 4 times thus far. Just get it!"

"Nikki, I have just binged on your course over 2 days. Such great advice and I love your approach and structures. You produced beautiful images for the clients in this class. I am focused on portraits and fashion, but see your system as widely applicable. Thanks!" ~Neville` S.
I'm a midwest girl with big dreams! Before building my business, I was a burned out social worker desperately needing a change. Within two years, I retired myself from social work all while falling in love with the personal branding genre of photography.
I've been a bridesmaid 13 times.
Roller skating is a love of mine and I used to play roller derby.
I started growing a wildflower field on our property last year and I'm obsessed. I'm going to 10x it this year (watch my social media for behind the scenes of shoots there).
I host a podcast called The Portrait System.
Before I had a family, I traveled alone to countries including Cambodia, Nepal, Costa Rica, and Thailand. Sounds cheesy, but those trips helped me "find myself".
Foodie. I'm for sure a foodie. And a beer snob.
I started a non-profit that provided autism advocacy and education in developing countries.
My husband and I have been together since 2006. We met at a Built to Spill concert in Detroit. He's very handy and much more patient than I am.
My kids Van & Dre both challenge me and make my heart burst with love many, many times a day.
I'm very comfortable in a dive bar and also at a 5 star restaurant...although, I prefer a dive bar ;)
I'm a recent country music convert and I'm still quite shocked about it haha.
