Hey there! I'm Nikki, owner/photographer at Nikki Klatt Photography. A little about me; I am a full-time mommy married to my high school sweetheart (I know, "Awwww!"). We have 3 kids, 3 dogs, and a crazy household that never seems to stay clean! And I just happen to have a knack for capturing those candid, special moments that will last a lifetime!
After taking my middle child...the shy child that loathed the department store photography studio...to appointment after disappointing appointment, I realized a few things; the "photographers" there didn't seem to care about their job, let alone my little one. There was no attempt to interact with us during our 15 minute session...that we waited over an hour past our scheduled appointment time for. They didn't listen to me or even ask what I wanted. The final images were just "fine" and the prints expensive. I would head home frustrated. Ever been there? Then I would pull out my own camera and capture her true personality. A beautiful, genuine smile. Or her shy, quiet demeanor that I love SO much! So I decided to take my love of photography to a new level. I have spent the past 5 years continuing my education in camera operation as well as editing skills, making equipment and software investments, and completing the addition of my own dedicated studio space (YAY!).
I am also the "financial advisor" of our household, so I know first-hand how important budget is. I truly believe beautiful portraits are something to invest in and while everyone wants professional quality images, I understand that there are also everyday expenses that can not be overlooked. At Nikki Klatt Photography, you won't have to choose between quality images and your checkbook!
I prefer low-pressure, casual photography sessions and try to create an atmosphere where everyone can be comfortable and relax. Having those 3 kiddos of my own has really provided me with tons of experience interacting with little ones! And I love to offer fresh, modern photography to my more grown-up clients. My editing style is clean and natural. Although I do love the look and feel of enhancing images with black and white or vintage tones; creating images that are unique, yet timelessly classic! Clients will receive professional quality, custom-edited, high-resolution digital image files with all portrait packages.
