N.L.H. Photography Hello! I'm Nikki, a natural light photographer serving Madison Co. & surrounding areas for Family, Children, Couples and Portrait photography.

I am self taught photographer and I love natural light. Telling a story through my lens is my goal. I love freezing time. Special moments frozen to be looked back on at any time...to remember the love and light in life. Capturing the feeling and making memories.

A little gallery PSA before I get sentimental…

If you’ve logged into your gallery recently and thought, “Wait, this looks different!” you’re not in the wrong place!

I’ve officially migrated my client galleries from PASS+ to Pic-Time. Your galleries are there, your login credentials are the same, and everything works just as it did before. The only real change is the gallery host you’ll see when you log in.

I’m not going to lie, this migration probably shaved a few years off my life 😂 and I still have a few loose ends to tie up, but your galleries are safe and there!

And honestly, watching all those galleries migrate and seeing the numbers of galleries and images really hit me.

A decade plus of this. So many galleries. So many images. So many families, couples, babies, seniors, weddings and milestones.

I’m just incredibly thankful. 🤍

Thank you to every single person who has trusted me to capture your life over the years, and especially to those of you who keep coming back year after year. It truly means more than you know.

Here’s to the next decade of memories. 📷🤍

✨ GIVEAWAY ✨

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly life moves. The big moments are easy to remember...birthdays, weddings, babies, milestones. But it’s the little things, the messy kitchens, goofy smiles, adventures, sunsets, kids being kids, and ordinary Tuesday moments, that somehow become the memories we treasure most.

So, I thought it would be fun to celebrate those moments with a little Mini Session Giveaway!

One lucky winner will receive a Mini Session with me this fall! 🎉

Here’s how to enter:
🍁 LIKE & FOLLOW my photography page
🍁 SHARE THIS ORIGINAL GIVEAWAY POST to your page
🍁 COMMENT ON THIS ORIGINAL POST with a photo YOU have taken in the last week
🍁 Tell me why you love that photo! It can be anything! Your kids, your dog, your morning coffee, a beautiful sunset, something silly, something ordinary...whatever made you stop and capture it. ❤️

Please make sure your photo and comment are on THIS ORIGINAL POST so I can see your entry!

Because here’s the thing...photos become our memories. The moment passes, the kids grow, the seasons change, and life keeps moving. But that little piece of time we captured gets to stay with us. 🥹

And I want to see YOUR moments! Not the perfectly posed ones. Not the perfectly curated ones. Just real life and the little things that bring you joy.

📅 Giveaway begins TODAY September 1st
🎉 Winner will be chosen at random on September 8th.

Let’s fill this page with the little moments that make life beautiful. 🤍📸🍂

Winner must be available for a fall mini session date offered by N.L.H. Photography.

It had been a few years, but Ashley and her wonderful family made their way back in front of my camera and I was oh so happy to see them! And gosh, had those kids grown A LOT! 😭

Speaking of kids…one thing I really try to do during every session is let the littles have fun. Truly let loose and just BE KIDS. Especially after they’ve given me all their best “cheeses” and held their attention for more than 5 minutes. 😂 I know it sounds silly, but kids will be kids....and they need to be kids. Some of my favorite images are the goofy, silly, completely unposed ones that happen when they finally get to let loose.
I realized while looking through this session that I often forget to share that side of my sessions, and these kiddos absolutely deserved to have their fun showcased! 🥰

ALSO…are you sick of seeing me in your feed yet?!

I’m slowly but surely catching up on sharing the last few weeks, and what do you know…just in time to share the last of these gorgeous summer minis before we start showing off ALL THINGS FALL! 🍂📸

Kelly and Brandon are the definition of pure and kind.

They always make me feel so good during our sessions with their smiles and laughter that are absolutely contagious! If you know them personally, then you already know, they are the good, good ones. The kind of people who make the world a little brighter just by being in it. Every year when we do a new session, I’m reminded all over again that good really does exist, and some people simply radiate light. Kelly and Brandon are those people. 🥹❤️

So grateful I get to document them year after year!

I just love getting my time with Jessica and her crew! 💕

The kiddos always keep me on my toes, and Mom and Dad are always such a delight!
I know I’ve said it before and I probably sound like a broken record..but I truly am so grateful when families like this continue to trust me year after year to document their lives. 🙌

It is such a privilege to watch these kiddos grow, to capture all the little seasons along the way, and to be welcomed back year after year. It’s an honor I never take lightly.

Thank you, Jessica and family, for continuing to choose me to tell a little piece of your story. It means more than you know!❤️

These summer sessions are sure melting my heart!

The Lillard family is one of the sweetest, and when you pair them with God’s masterpiece that is Old Rag Mountain and a perfect summer evening…well, things are sure to end perfectly. ✨

I’ve been trying to set aside a little time to share each and every family because they ALL deserve their own spotlight. So, if you’ve noticed a lot of posts from me this week, it’s because I finally found a smidge of time to do just that! ❤️

I still have a few more beautiful summer minis to share, and as you may have seen, I recently announced my fall minis too and I am SO excited! 🍂

My calendar is already very full, with just a handful of dates remaining. If you’re thinking about fall photos, the sooner we connect, the better!

Once again, another big family session that completely filled my heart! ❤️

There’s something so special about getting to reconnect with families like Rebecca’s. Her son Kenney and I went to school together, and now here we are, 20+ years after graduation, getting to reconnect in such a beautiful way.

How cool is it that photography allows me to stay connected with old classmates, catch up on their lives, and watch as their families have grown and blossomed so beautifully over the years 🥰

This is my 2nd year getting to capture Samantha and her sweet babes, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

They are all so kind, sweet, and just an absolute joy to photograph. I love getting to watch these little ones grow and change from year to year, and I already can’t wait to see what the coming years bring! 🥹✨

Ashley and her absolutely beautiful family are so incredibly precious to me. 🤍

For so many years now, I’ve had the honor of documenting their lives as the kids grow, seasons change, and their family continues to evolve. These are the sessions that remind me just how special this job is.

I’m so incredibly happy the Norman crew chooses me year after year to capture these memories. I truly adore you all! 🥹
