I got pregnant in 2016 (I worked with Nikki from 2017-2022, a span of 5 years) and was combing the internet for local photographers and immediately fell in love with her work even though she was one of the newer newborn photographer. I reached out and inquire about doing a month-to-month photo session for my first-born and she agreed! I don't have any childhood pictures, I came from a poor family of immigrants that was constantly moving so taking pictures wasn't a need and pictures often got destroyed or misplaced - I value pictures more so than most people. My first-born's first year with Nikki was an amazing experience - pictures were scheduled every month without me reaching out, she always asked for my opinions and I just always let her have free rein, she gets more creative that way. I can look back on every photo session from newborn to one year old and tell you how old my child was. When the baby starts sitting is when the photo session gets more elaborate and I loved every organic detail from the florals, props, colors, backdrops, outfits (she provides them except the cake smash session), and effort Nikki has put in to it. For my first-born session, Nikki completely blew it out of the park for me and then I had my second child and Nikki again agreed to take her photos month-to-month and my second child's photo sessions were epic! I didn't think I could fall more in love with Nikki's work, but I did! She went on and photographed my last baby the following year and then pandemic hit so we did 12 sessions over two years and this may me even more grateful of her work. Thank you Nikki! The Kimotos love you and your wonderful team of staff (husband and daughters will occasionally help out). Your service is priceless and Central Valley is lucky to have you as a local photographer.
