I am so happy you are here & Thanks for stopping by! Let's do this!

I was born in Chicago. I am the middle child of 3. I am very close to my siblings. I am a 90s kid, & a Virgo. I love learning and traveling to new places. I spent time in College studying abroad in Italy. Now I want to see as much of the world as I can.

 I strongly believe if you love what you do, you'll never spend a day working! I believe in the power of positivity. You decide how you see the world. Is the glass the half full or empty?

I have been doing photography since I was 16, learned on 35mm film developing in the darkroom. I did my first wedding for my sister in law's friend, they needed someone last minute & after that day I knew I found my place in the world! Wedding Photography was my calling! There is so something so special about freezing a moment in time into a forever memory. My approach to the day is less stress, only fun! Enjoy the day, It only happens once.  If you care more about having fun than being flawless, I am your Photographer!


I am dork, never graceful yet overly organized. HA!
No matter how hard I try to blend in , I stand out.
I LOVE coffee & wine. Never together.

I'm Nina.

From the moment I first emailed Nina, I could tell she was the right choice for my engagement shoot. She gave so much energy, professionalism, and thoughtfulness into making my shoot absolutely perfect. Not only did the photos Nina take turn out beautiful, Nina did a great job communicating timeline and logistics. I'd HIGHLY recommend Nina to anyone in the Chicago and Milwaukee area. Thanks so much for capturing our moment, Nina <3
