Nikki P. at your service.
My love of photography stems from a gypsy-ish childhood.
My education is in the physical sciences, and my photography knowledge is completely self-taught. Never in a million years did I ever think that I would be doing my hobby, my passion, as my career! A wise friend once said to me, "Live the Life you Love", and with those words resonating in my mind, the notion of the corporate world was abandoned to do the thing that brought the most joy to my heart...
The old adage is true... If you do what you love and love what you do, then you'll never work a day in your life...
Life has made me realize how fast time flies the older you get, and how precious memories are, because life is ever changing. The only constant IS change, so capturing those special glimpses of time... what a magical thing.
Photography is truly magic. And looking back at old photographs, recalling those memories, those emotions, really gives perspective on the here and now. Because once the moment is gone, you can always look at that photo that was taken and feel those same emotions all over again...
Creatively capturing memories of people, places, and things is what I am passionate about... It's what makes me happy.
This is the philosophy that I want future generations to learn and appreciate. Our world is changing so fast, that to capture those moments, good or bad, is to immortalize that moment.
A photographer is a person's best/worst frienemy...
They'll shoot you, frame you, and hang you on the wall.
Looking forward to seeing many smiling sun-kissed faces on the beach this year!
