“This course really inspired me! I was starting to lean more towards just doing indoor only, but this course made me realize how much I really love both! Nikki is easy to follow along with, she keeps it simple and real. Her explanations are to the point. The interactions she has are authentic. If you're like I was about just making portraits indoors, this course really does makes you fall back in love with all the creativity that can be done outdoors/on location!! I can't wait to apply more of the information I have learned.”

“Only half way through this course and already I've taken away so many invaluable tips. I love watching the way Nikki interacts with and directs her subjects. She has a great way of mirroring what she wants them to do, helping them to easily fall into natural looking poses. I shoot a lot of actor's headshots and editorial in environmental settings and watching Nikki's course has helped give me the confidence to do this work with a minimal gear kit and no assistant! In this course, and her "Personal Branding System", Nikki talks you through her process and considerations. She lets you know how she's reading the light and what she's noticed when she subtly makes changes to a pose or set up. I've been able to apply these little nuggets in my own personal branding and headshots work. Thoroughly recommend this course to anyone shooting personal branding or lifestyle portrait work outdoors and on location.”

“This course was exactly what I needed! Nikki takes you through her shoots and shares camera settings, lenses, and lighting, explaining why throughout the course. She incorporates play and movement and demonstrates many outside options. This course elevated my skills and confidence. Thank you Nikki!”

Christine H.

“This course is for EVERYONE at every level of their photography journey. The tips and tricks are functional and cost effective. Nikki shows you don’t need an assistant, fancy props or expensive anything to make photographs that stand out and make a client look and feel like a million bucks. This is a must have course if you don’t have a studio and think you can’t make this a career. She will prove you wrong in the best way.”
