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.

IL Wedding

I booked Nina as our wedding photographer, and she hit it out of the park! She was great and so easy to work with! Taking pictures with her was so natural and not awkward at all. The turn around time was great and the pictures just blew me away. I will not hesitate to use her again!

Chicago proposal

Nina took beautiful pictures of my recent proposal! She was so helpful with suggestions and planning in the lead up to the proposal, then went ‘under-cover’ at the restaurant before I proposed. She captured some amazing shots both of the actual proposal and immediately following. The pictures were very organic and not editorial, and they came out amazing. I highly recommend Nina!

 I highly recommend Nina!

Absolutely amazing photographer! The best part was that we had such a great time! My fiancé and I are naturally very shy people, so getting in front of a camera made us a bit nervous. Nina made us incredibly comfortable, and the product came out so beautiful. Her ability to catch sweet moments is remarkable. We highly recommend her for any of your special events!

Absolutely Amazing Photographer!
