“I never thought I’d say this, but… my partner actually enjoyed taking photos. Nikki made the whole session relaxed and fun, like the three of us were old friends goofing around on the beach. The photos are incredible. We absolutely love what she captured and how she edited them.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t see your question? Feel free to reach out or read additional FAQ here.

Step One: Booking & Planning
Once you are ready to book, I will send you a contract and invoice. A non-refundable retainer & signed contract are due to reserve your session date/time. The remaining balance is due the day of your session.

As we get closer to your session, we’ll plan the finer details: meet-up location, outfit styling, and exact timing. On the day before your session, we’ll communicate (via email or text message) to confirm the details.

Step Two: Your Session
At your session, we’ll start by chatting to get everyone comfortable. As we start capturing photos, I will guide you through the entire session. We’ll move, laugh, play, and dance.

Step Three: Editing & Gallery Delivery
After your session, I’ll back up all the files and make sure everything is safe and secure. I’ll then carefully edit all the best images from your session.

Within 3 weeks, you’ll receive your full online gallery to review. You’ll choose your favorite 30 images to download and keep.

Love more than that? You can easily add 10 additional images or upgrade to download the entire gallery.

Your full gallery will remain available for a year, giving you plenty of time to choose your favorites and decide if you’d like to add more images.

Step Four: Prints & Art Work
Once you’ve selected your images, you can download your digital files. For physical prints, I highly recommend ordering directly from your gallery for the best quality outcome, but you are welcome to order from whatever printshop you prefer! Additionally, you can order heirloom-quality albums and wall art directly from your gallery.

I primarily photograph at beaches or along the bay, but the choice is entirely up to you! Based in Fenwick Island, I often work at beaches in Fenwick, Bethany, Dewey, Rehoboth, and Ocean City, MD. I’m also happy to travel to Lewes and Assateague Island upon request. Occasionally, sessions are held on the bay, at clients’ homes, or on their boats.

While I specialize in beach photography, which is what most clients seek me for, I’m excited to bring your vision to life at any location you choose. If you have a specific spot in mind, just let me know—I’m always thrilled to explore new places!

Most couples sessions last about 45-60 minutes. We’ll move at a comfortable pace to capture a variety of images while making the most of the golden hour light. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure we have plenty of time without feeling rushed!

Sessions are scheduled for either Sunrise or Sunset as this gives us the best lighting and the fewest number of people in the images.

Sunrise photos start at sunrise and are bright and early.
Sunset photos start about 1-1.5 hours before the sun goes down.
Since Sunrise and Sunset times change throughout the year, session start times will adjust accordingly.

Your full edited gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks. You’ll choose your favorite 30 images to download, with options to add more.

Every image from your session is professionally edited for color, tone, and lighting to ensure your photos look beautiful and consistent. I enhance the natural beauty of each scene—adjusting exposure, color balance, and contrast so your images have that warm, coastal feel.

My editing style focuses on keeping your photos natural and true to life. I’ll remove background distractions and temporary blemishes such as minor scrapes, bruises, and pimples. If it won’t be there in a week, I’ll make sure it’s not memorialized in your images.

However, I don’t do body retouching or alterations. My goal is to capture your family authentically as you are in this moment.

If you have specific concerns about editing, I’m always happy to discuss them during our planning conversation!

I’ll send you a detailed session guide with outfit suggestions and location tips once you book! The most important thing? Come relaxed and ready to enjoy each other. The best photos happen when you’re comfortable, laughing, and being yourselves—think fun date night energy!

If we see rain in the forecast, our first step is to try to work around it. This can mean either keeping the date but changing the session time or moving the session location. If there’s no gap in the crummy weather, we try to reschedule to a date/time available for everyone. If that doesn’t work, I can provide a refund (minus a small processing fee) OR a credit for a session, good for up to one year.

Delaware beach weather can be unpredictable, but we’ll make it work!

Mini sessions aren’t available during peak summer season, but I offer limited seasonal mini sessions in fall and winter (think holiday cards and beach bonfires!). Join my email list so you don’t miss out when I announce dates!
