Nieshka was fabulous. This review is long overdue. I took my newborn to her after another photographer stopped responding to me. Nieshka responded immediately and was able to squeeze me in for an appointment for newborn photos. Her in-home studio is fabulous, and she followed COVID-19 protocols. She has every color prop you can imagine. You will be so pleased! Unfortunately, my son was very fussy and cried a lot. Nieshka was still able to capture some gorgeous shots of him. She worked so well with him. I am hoping to have her take his six-month photos because she was awesome! read more

My wife went there this Saturday for some infant portraits and she had an amazing experience. The photographer was very professional and patient with our baby girl. Every pose and outfit she recommended were very cute and it reminded us of the Anne Geddes calendars. She had a large selection of outfits and props to chose from. We have to say she has a special touch with children and she herself is a mother. Thanks again for the amazing photos, and we recommend her to anyone who is looking for some baby portraits!! Thanks again, Alicia read more

I did not know the ideal timeframe to take these newborn photos was 1-2 weeks old. Despite this, we were able to have amazing newborn photos with our 3 week old daughter. This was our first time doing these type of photos and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We just had to show up with the baby and she took care of everything. I will break down for you why Nieshka is awesome and what I learned about newborn photography... 1) Styling skills: She has a great collection of all different fabrics, headbands, beds, baskets, props etc. You can tell she spends time thinking about these items and sourcing them from all over the world. I picked out 3 fabrics and 2 artificial plants I liked and based on that she was able to style the entire shoot, giving me just the right number of options (usually 2) so it was not overwhelming. 2) Newborn skills: She knows how to handle babies, get them to sleep and also wrap them in different fabrics while keeping them asleep. Anyone who has swaddled a baby while trying to keep them sleeping can appreciate this is not any easy task. She was also very conscious of cleanliness 3) Photography skills: She is taking photos in her studio and works to get the best pictures, including adjusting the baby (literally the way the baby's mouth was open). Also our baby was at the height of her baby acne. So many pimples on one eyelid I could not count them all! But I had no idea that Nieshka could magically edit the photos to provide me both the real and airbrushed skin versions. 4) Client service: Her process is easy and clearly communicated through email. Everything was on time and easy to access/download through the gallery site provided. We love having these special photos to share with our friends and family. read more

Where do I start? Nieshka is an amazing person and great at what she does. She was very quick in responding to my emails. I was very concerned and hesitant to do photoshoot for my baby girl due to COVID. But I didn't want to regret not capturing my newborn's early days!! As soon as I reached Nieshka's place, all my worries went away. She follows all the COVID protocols and is very very careful. She was very patient and loving with my baby. She has great collection of dresses, props, accessories etc. I and my husband are very satisfied with the photos !! I would highly recommend Nieshka for the Newborn photoshoot. I am definitely doing my baby's 6 month and 1 year photoshoot with her read more

Wow! What a fantastic photo shoot experience with Nieshka! Her love to photography and attention to details had created an extremely comfortable environment for all of us. She made sure that the studio was warm enough before undressing the newborn. Her movements were all slow and steady, ensuring the newborn stayed calm at all times. More importantly, she was extremely patient and accommodating, and did not mind at all when my newborn pee/poop on her! She even had diapers and warm wet tissue ready to address these accidents. Her studio had a lot of colorful and cute props for us to choose from. She worked with us to define a theme for our photo story. The speed was also remarkable. Not only that Immediately that night we received all the photos to review, but also only a few days later we received the edited versions of our chosen photos. It was so difficult to narrow down to our chosen photos because all the photos are so great! Overall I would highly recommend Happy Me Photography by Nieskha. I am sure you will have a fantastic experience with her and have memorable cute photos to keep for the years to come. read more

Absolutely recommend! My friend recommended me to go happymephotography, I like her daughters Newborn pics, so I decided to book her for my new born baby. The studio is nice and new, room temperature is high enough so the baby won't get cold. By the time when we do the shooting, baby was too excited so he couldn't fall asleep, Nieshka was so professional to calm the baby and take absolutely great pics. Just recieved the high resolution pics today. Cannot wait to post on my on social media, Love all the pics! Will totally recommend to everyone who wants to get their newborn photography! read more

See all

This review is for our session end of April when our baby boy was 2 weeks old. We reached out to Nieshka last-minute, because the newborn photos from the hospital were delayed and we were itching to send our baby announcement with photos to our family and friends, many of whom are abroad. Nieshka was able to fit us into her schedule, and she took some adorable photos of our baby boy (even though she warned us that taking photos of a 2-week-old is harder than a few days old). Even though I fed our baby before we arrived, he was still awake and hungry during the session. We were afraid that he would be crying, but thankfully Nieshka was still able to take some really nice photos while he was awake. She soothed the baby with her soothing voice and white noise machine throughout the session. For the second half of the session, our baby fell sound asleep and we were able to have more fun with the props. Nieshka was very skillful in putting on new clothes and positioning our baby without waking him up, and the photos turned out great. Nieshka also had a really fast turnaround time. We were able to see our photos that same night, with the higher resolution photos coming in soon after! Now we have these wonderful photos to cherish forever. read more

I'm very thankful to have found Nieshka. This profession is definitely her calling. She has a beautiful spirit and energy. I instantly felt very safe when walking into her studio. Everything was so clean and organized... she handled my baby with so much care, I actually learned a few things from her while there which I appreciated.. she was so helpful to me, my baby and my partner... she had so patience... my pictures came out so beautiful.. I will definitely use her services again... thank you again Nieshka... you are a blessing to this industry.. read more

Nieshka was great! Our 11 month old daughter was pretty fussy the day of the photoshoot....and it was windy--but Nieshka was able to capture some priceless images for us! This was our first time having professional photographs taken for our baby- Nieshka was flexible and accomodated our timing to work with our daughter's naptime. She was punctual and efficient. I think she must have gotten to the park early to figure out the best lighting--she also brought along a bunch of props and set up was extremely quick. The CDs I got included all of the shots Nieshka took- but had 8 total images that were retouched and provided to us in various styles and color formats. Loved them all! I couldn't believe after all the fussies, and windy morning, all these images actually came out! I was also very pleased with her pricing- much more reasonable than some other photography places I've looked. She was also great with our daughter and our family! Look forward to taking Christmas pictures in a couple of months! Thanks Nieshka!! read more

Happy Me Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Nieshka is amazing!! I was looking for a new born baby photographer and after searching last minute through Yelp, I found Happy Me Photography. The quality of the pictures on Yelp that I saw were beautiful, so I didn't hesitate on contacting Nieshka. Super profesional as she greeted us before we had a chance to knock on her door. Her home studio is beautifully set up with plenty of props to use. She was great with my baby from the moment she started to get her ready, from the first picture she took. After she was done, she showed us her work and we were amazed at the quality. I give Nieshka and Happy Me Photography 10 stars if I can. I hope one day she takes on family sessions because I would definitely go to her when the kids are more grown up. Thanks again, Nieshka for being so attentive!! read more

Nieshka is not only a tremendously talented photographer but also a baby-whisperer! She managed to get our newborn in the most adorable poses as well as corral our other two toddlers to some great sibling and family shots as well. We adore our photos and highly recommend her work! read more

I took my little one for new born photo shoot on her 12th day. I was scared and nervous as I am first time mom but Nieshka made it easy for us. She was so caring and worked wonders with my little one. She handles kids with so much care and treats them with utmost tenderness. She took all the covid precautions and sanitized often. New mommies out there !! Without any hesitation you can bring your kiddos here read more

Nieshka is extremely talented and works like a magician with the babies. My baby was so calm and slept thru the entire session. Her studio is so cozy and she gives you so many prop options to choose from. To begin with i was extremely skeptical about getting a photo shoot done amid Covid times, but was impressed to see her covid guidelines. Not to mention the final pictures came out so gooood, 10/10 for sure in terms of quality, cleanliness and the way my baby was handled. So glad I went with her. read more

Highly recommend Nieshka. We were very late on our newborn pictures but Nieshka told us she had no issues with a 8 week old while some photographers told us it was too late for a newborn session. Our biggest concern was obviously precautions for Covid but Nieshka sent us a form with all the things she does to make it a safe environment as well as precautions she wanted us to take. She was great with our baby and the studio was amazing. She had diapers/wipes ready if you forget them, also a white noise machine to keep the baby calm. Our pictures came out amazing and she was great about communication. We plan on going back for the 6 month and 1 year session. 1 more thing to add, she is more than reasonably priced. read more

Our newborn session was about a month ago. Our baby girl initially slept through the first few backdrops/settings but she woke up and remained fussy for the rest of the session. Nieshka helped soothe our baby and magically captured a few beautiful shots despite our baby's fussing and movements! Parents have comfortable chairs to observe from or to rest in during the session. I think we both dozed off at some point. I suggest you pack a lunch or pick up some food before you arrive. You may be there for 4-5 hours! Also this is a huge deal: we got to see the all of the images (before touch up) later that evening! read more

We have recently visited the studio for newborn photoshoot. Because of COVID times, we were worried and skeptical about the idea of photoshoot in these times. But it was such a safe and pleasant experience, I felt I should share my experience here. Safety - Studio was very well maintained. Couch was covered with disposable sheets. Nieshka was sanitizing her hands frequently, especially every time before touching the baby. We were asked to wear masks all the time. All the covid safety protocols were thoroughly followed. Space - Place was clean and very well organized. Convenience - Right after entering the studio, from the beginning to the end of the photoshoot, Nieshka has taken very good care of the baby. She soothed the baby when needed, carefully handled the baby while settling him in positions for setups. She has been very patient when baby was awake. She waited until baby is asleep again. There was no rushing of things. Studio had all the baby supplies, if needed. Quality of work - Just great. We loved every picture taken. All the props looked great. Overall we would like to thank Nieshka for her great work. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for baby photography. read more

Nieshka was absolutely wonderful. Our little guy was not being very cooperative and didn't want to go to sleep for the photos- she took her time and was incredibly patient with him to get him to cooperate. The photos turned out perfectly and we couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a great newborn photographer, I highly recommend Happy Me! read more

Nieshka was extremely patient and professional! I reached out to nieshka few months before my due date. She was always prompt to respond and answered our questions. Fast forward, my daughter arrived earlier than the due date. Nieshka was again prompt and accommodative to schedule the newborn session! Her studio is well setup and nieshka was good at handling/calming our daughter. Our daughter was not cooperative on the day but nieshka managed to capture extremely cute pictures! Also we totally went by her suggestions on color of props etc. Glad we went with nieshka for our daughter's newborn- definitely a beautiful memory for years to come! read more

Nieshka was amazingly talented person with good creative sense. She is very passionate to get out the best pictures. She took our newborn photo session at her home studio and it was cozy and warm enough for our newborn baby to feel comfortable just like at home. I absolutely adored our pictures! She worked super well with our newborn daughter... we just left everything in her hands and watched from the sidelines. We even learned few techniques on how to calm baby from Nieshka :) She's a total pro! Our pictures came back amazing and super quickly too. I would have given 10 stars if possible!! Thank you, Nieshka! We're so happy to have you as our photographer for our newborn. We strongly recommend you to our friends. Will meet you again in future. read more

After lots of searching, I know right away that Nieshaka is the photographer I am looking for, when I saw her website gallery. Nieshaka did great on my baby one year old photo shoot. All my family loves those pictures. Absolutely recommend! read more

Nieshka is one of the most patient people I have ever met. Think about this... she takes a newborn, calms him down, lulls him to sleep, gets him into an outfit, puts him into a perfect pose, then takes a picture.... then repeats the process over and over. Try it, I dare you. I sure couldn't do that and that's my own kid! She also makes scheduling easy, flexible, and convenient, which is perfect considering you're dealing with giving birth which isn't the most predictable thing. ... and the pictures were great too. read more

We did a newborn session with Nieshka and she did a great job with our uncooperative baby. We fed her immediately before the shoot in the hopes that she would sleep, but she was wide awake for the first set and never really maintained a deep sleep. Nieshka did everything in her power to work with our baby and got some beautiful shots. Her studio is wonderful. She has a large selection of props, costumes, and backdrops. Additionally, her studio has everything a baby could need to be comfortable: climate control, humidifier, white noise, ... We highly recommend her. read more

We had an absolutely wonderful and safe time with Nieshka during our newborn photoshoot in early February 2021!! She uses a separate studio that is dedicated to shoots, professionally set up with more fabric and prop variety than you can imagine. During Covid, Nieshka was extremely accommodating and had numerous safety protocols in place: constant masking, frequent hand washing and sanitization, disposable one-use sheets , and gloves. Nieshka is also VERY good with newborns; our baby is one who somehow doesn't sleep immediately after feeding, but Nieshka had multiple tricks up her sleeve to calm him and get great photos. If you are looking for newborn photos that will be immensely high quality and don't want to sacrifice for Covid, Nieshka is absolutely our highest recommendation. Don't hesitate - you will not regret this literally once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture your special ones first days!! read more

We had a great experience with Nieshka for my daughter's newborn photoshoot. My daughter was having trouble falling asleep and was awake for more than half of the session. Nieshka was incredibly patient, did not make me feel rushed and even redid the setups once my daughter fell asleep. She was focused on ensuring she got some beautiful pictures of my little one. She gave me ideas for the setups and was open to my suggestions as well. I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome and have gorgeous pictures to treasure, thanks to her! She is very responsive as well. Highly recommend her :) read more

I'm very happy that I took my newborn to Nieshka for a photoshoot. She is amazing. Very organized and took care of our baby. She was able to keep my baby asleep throughout the session. You could imagine how gentle she was with our baby. She took her time and made sure we liked the setup before taking the photos. The photos turn out great. We will be back for another photoshoot when baby gets a little older. I highly recommend her. read more

We enjoyed having Nieshka photograph our baby girl. From the moment we set up our appointment with her she was very professional and responded in time. When we arrived she met us outside and helped carry the baby in. She wore her mask the whole time and used hand sanitizer. She was very gentle throughout the whole process and our pictures came out amazing! read more

Nieshka was absolutely amazing during our recent photography session with our 3.5 month old. She was warm, friendly, professional and made the entire experience from start to finish very comfortable, especially during Covid. She pays great attention to detail from the temperature of the room (warmer for infants), lighting, poses, and has a wide variety of high quality set ups/outfits/color options. She was very sweet (singing songs, etc) with our baby to help get some more smiles and I would recommend her to any new parent for photographs. She captured some truly precious expressions and moments with our baby and we can't wait to utilize her talents again when our little one is a bit older. read more

Nieshka was amazing! We used her online booking system which was really easy to use and got an appointment for the following day for a newborn photo shoot! She was really friendly over the phone. When we showed up she had all the props and materials laid out! I could tell instantly that this would be a really fun experience! She is also into knitting hats so she has many containers full of hats, head bands, covers, blankets, scarves, etc. There are also many backdrops to choose from for family portraits. The photo session lasted four hours and Nieshka was perfect in handling our newborn daughter and putting her in super cute outfits and positions! My wife and I were so amazed at her abilities. The photos turned out perfectly! She sent all the photos to us in a low res format to choose the JPG numbers of the ones we want photoshopped and sent to us in full res. It was a really streamlined and easy process! She is so friendly and you can tell that she loves what she does and has passion for working with people to bring them these timeless moments. I definitely want to use Nieshka again and recommend her very highly to everyone! read more

I did a newborn session with Nieshka and not only are her photos AMAZING but she was also amazing with my baby. We waited until our baby was 2 months old, which is way past the recommended time period of 7-10 days, so it was more difficult to photograph her since she wasn't asleep the whole time and moving around a lot. Nieshka was a pro at calming her down and she has all the equipment necessary like a shusher, heater, white noise machine, etc. She was very gentle and stayed calm. I didn't have to do anything at all. I just sat and watched as she calmed her down, fed her, lulled her to sleep, changed her and positioned her into different poses. She also used hand sanitizer before touching the baby. Her photos speak for themselves. They are incredible! She has a lot of different backdrops, props, and outfits to chose from and was open to my ideas. I highly recommend her!!! read more

Nieshka was great to work with for my son's newborn photography session. We just moved into the area and he was already 3 weeks old. I contacted her and she was able to squeeze us in for a session. Nieshka was great with him -- so patient even when he was fussy and she was flexible with the order of shooting depending on how our son was handling it. She even helped dress him at the end of the shoot and get all of our belongings together. And her photography is beautiful! We are so happy with the photos we have from this session and are thankful she made the time to capture these memories for us even though we booked late. read more

This our second session with Nieshka. She is very easy person to work with, the whole session was very fun and enjoyable, we are very happy with the results. Thank you! read more

Nieshka is an absolute professional. She is so gentle and took great care of our newborn during the photo shoot. She was able to gently place him in multiple positions, poses, and sets without even waking him. The studio was kept warm and she had white noise in the background to keep the infants calm. Our photos turned out amazing - she did a great job both with capturing the moment and the editing of the final photos. Finally she was really quick to get us booked - responded and had us in the door within a couple days. Thank you Nieshka for a great experience on our first time taking our newborn out! read more

Nieshka was absolutely amazing with our baby girl! She was so gentle and experienced handling a newborn, we felt incredibly comfortable in her hands. The photos came out beautifully. Would HIGHLY recommend her services and looking forward to working with her again with our (hopefully) next baby. read more

Nieshka is very professional and amazing!! Her photo studio is very clean and she follows all Covid protocols. She has many props to choose from. She was very helpful and provided us with ideas as we had no idea what we wanted to do for our granddaughter. Nieshka was very good with our newborn. She made the session so carefree. I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed! Looking forward to returning! read more

Nieshka was so great with our pup and our little man! She was welcoming, accommodating, friendly, and extremely patient with our new addition. Her studio is very clean and well organized! Couldn't have asked for more! More importantly I loved so many photos that it was so difficult to choose the 15 i'm given! read more

Nieshka is my go to for all of our photography needs. Over the past 5 years, she has done maternity photos, newborn sessions, family portraits, and child photography for us. We have worked with her both in her studio and on location and we always end up with photos worth framing. She is punctual, fun to work with, and is extremely talented. I have recommended her to my closest friends and family regularly and she has never disappointed. If you're looking for photos that you will want to look at for a lifetime, Nieshka at Happy Me Photography is the place to go. read more

FIVE STARS ALL AROUND!!!! We couldn't have found a better photographer than Nieshka for our newborn pictures! She was highly recommended on Yelp, so of course, we called her and a few other places for comparison and we really liked her professionalism and friendliness over the phone. On top of it, her prices were extremely reasonable! It was our first experience doing a professional newborn photo and she definitely exceeded our expectations. In addition, she asked us to come back for a second shoot, FREE of charge, because she was no happy with some of the photos. That is perfectionism and commitment to its fullest! We would definitely hire Nieshka again in the future. We highly recommend her!! Thanks, again, Nieshka!! read more

Nieshka is very professional and friendly. She knows a lot about newborn photography. In her studio she has a rich collection of backdrops and outfits to choose from. She spent as much as time needed with our newborn baby to make sure all the pictures we are interested in are taken perfectly. On our newborn session which was ~4hr our baby was not cooperating much, Nieshka offered to go back on another day (her weekend) to finish the pictures. We are very satisfied with the final results. When our baby get older we would definitely go back to her for pictures. read more

We first found Neishka when looking for a photographer for our daughter's newborn pictures (about a year and a half ago). We were impressed with her professionalism and skill in carefully dressing and positioning our baby without waking her. The photos turned out beautiful! We've received so many compliments on them that reaching out to Neishka for our son's newborn pictures was a given. We just had his shoot the other day, and although he was a little less cooperative than our daughter, she still did a fantastic job and captured some really great shots! We highly recommend using Neishka, you will not be disappointed. read more

Nieshka is absolutely amazing! She is not only a photographer but an artist. She was so wonderful with our newborn daughter, who was just 9 days old at the time! Her home studio is gorgeous, calm and relaxing, spacious, with a wide variety of props, colors, textures, and fabrics to choose from. Nieshka made us and our newborn feel so comfortable; she had warm wipes, diapers, white noise, and a space heater readily available. We are so pleased with how our photos turned out and would definitely use her again with our next child. I cannot recommend Nieshka enough. You will not be disappointed!!! read more
