When I say this was an experience!
From the second I opened that door to when we walked out I felt beyond welcomed ! My girls LOVED THEM ! her assistant who helps with photo taken is really the most coolest soul I've ever came across ! Thank you ! Cheers to the start of something forever 💜🫶
We have been going to Nikki Lynn Photography since my daughter was just one years old, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her! Every single session feels like stepping into Photography Disneyland! The creativity, detail, and talent that go into the holiday sets she HAND BUILDS are absolutely unreal. She puts so much thought, love, and imagination into every setup, and you can tell just how passionate she is about what she does.
We genuinely look forward to every single session we book with her, and we feel incredibly lucky whenever we’re able to snag a spot! Her sets are always so unique, magical, and creative, and the photos and memories she captures are priceless.
On top of her incredible talent, she is SO patient and wonderful with kids. She creates such a fun, welcoming atmosphere and makes the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. Photographing little ones isn’t always easy, but she has such a gift for making them comfortable and turning a photo session into something they actually enjoy. My daughter is maybe even more happy to go see Cocoa than she is Santa😂
At this point, these sessions have become something we truly look forward to, and I wouldn’t want anyone else capturing these special memories as my daughter grows. If you’re lucky enough to get a session with her, BOOK IT! You will not regret it. Her talent, creativity, and the experience she provides are truly one of a kind!

As a dad, capturing these special moments means the world to me, and I’m so grateful we chose them. You can tell they genuinely care about their work and go above and beyond to make these experiences special for families. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful pictures and an experience that creates lasting memories. We will definitely be back!

This session was more than just a photoshoot, but it was a full fledged experience that began the moment of walking thru the door. The waiting room was soooo cute and made me immediately want to get a million selfies and practice posing, and her assistant, Kristen, was the sweetest! Every detail of the set was so intentional and perfectly placed to create a warm, inviting ambiance. Nikki guided us through each pose, but still made us feel at ease as she captured our full personalities. Nikki’s energy is unmatched and booking this session showed exactly why she has been voted as the best photographer in the region. Please believe the hype and book a session with Nikki Lynn Photography to see for yourself

I can’t say enough kind words to articulate the incredible experience at Nikki Lynn Photography. I discovered her studio this past Christmas season and have been back three additional times. With each visit, she embraces my daughter with warmth. She is incredibly talented, not only by creating a setting that shows her artistic ability but works with Baby Dream Backdrops to design the stunning backdrops. She truly know how to bring life to each set.
Most of all…she has patience of a saint. My 4 year old was having a breakdown. She held her, comforted her and took the time to play with her so that she left with smiles. She was kind, understanding and fortunately had one time slot available to reschedule for three days later. I will never forget her kindness and hope to be a lifelong client. Thank you, Cocoa, for being a talented and kind soul. 💕

My son and 2 daughters had their first ever photography session with Nikki. My 2yo son is very hard to handle and gets overstimulated very easily. Nikki was so patient and kind. We may not have gotten very many photos of him but she tried her absolute best. She will be the first person I recommend.
