Hi, I am Nikki Howard.
I’m a photographer based in McKinney, Texas. I would love to hear your desires for capturing this season of life.
For me, it has always been about the people.
In May of 2023, my family and I relocated from our hometown in Colorado to Massachusetts for my husband’s graduate program — a season of big changes and beautiful connections.
While living in our apartment complex and meeting the families in his program, I was continually in awe — not just by the outward beauty of those around me, but by the love and warmth they carried. That experience lit a spark in me and I felt inspired to start capturing those layered, meaningful moments — the kind that reflect both who we are on the outside and who we are on the inside.
That’s what I aim to bring to every session: images that are honest, heartfelt, and full of life — photos that feel like you.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Nikki for our family photoshoot and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started, Nikki was incredibly patient and accommodating, especially with our two-month-old baby. She provided excellent tips on the best locations and also the spontaneous photos she captured were amazing."

"We had such a wonderful experience with Nikki for our family photos in Boston! She made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, and even managed to capture genuine smiles from my little ones. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful- each one captured special moments that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photography who is patient, kind, and truly skilled, I highly recommend Nikki."

"Nikki is a toddler whisperer. We headed to our session with a very grumpy toddler and newborn in tow. Nikki had her smiling and making "acorn hats" for her fingers and we have photos of said toddler genuinely smiling. Not an easy feat. Nikki is someone I imagine anyone feeling at ease around, which is key for family portaits. She captures candid, real moments, which feel more magical than anything staged. Highly recommend for any other families wanting to capture your current season of life with kids. "

"One of the highlights of our session was how natural Nikki made the experience; she captured the essence of our home and our family in it. From kitchen to living room and everywhere in between, Nikki took photos that highlighted our everday experiences together."
