Born from the desire to document my children’s life in a way that was true to them, wild and courageous, creative and free, and filthy and frustrating. Photos that lived outside the cherubic, and sweet that I saw portrayed on social media. 

It is this unique view that I bring to families I have had the honour to photograph over the past 10 years.

About_image_3.jpg
 
 
New Zealand based family photographer.jpg
 

Passionate about the potential of photography to reframe the way we see our world and empower us to stand in our truth.

It is my passion to tell a story complete, art that reveals your ‘wild’, chaos, complexity, connection and unique culture that exists in your family.

To do it organically as it unfolds during the day...the way I know it does when time allows. 

 

“ Niki’s work has a gallery aesthetic to it,her black-and-white images have a very tactile quality. There is a fine art quality to her work that I think sets it apart. It's documentary, it's real, it's raw, but it has a distinctive artful aspect to it.” - Gina Mcloughlin (colorado)
