Hello and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Nikita, I'm a professional portrait photographer based in Somerset. My main area of interest is family photography, particularly working with children, as well as styled portrait shoots. I also have a keen interest in photographing animals. 

​

What makes my portrait sessions unique is they take place on location using natural light, rather than within a studio. I feel that this approach allows me to really explore my creativity and capture moments as they happen. It also creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience for my clients and is especially useful when photographing children. 

​

My passion for photography began around 2010, shortly after beginning my studies in Art & Design. Unsure of where I wanted to progress after college, I began working full-time in administration while offering photoshoots in my spare time. Five years later, I decided to quit my job and return to education to study photography, working towards a Foundation Degree. 

​

Shortly after graduating, the world was turned upside down with the spread of Covid-19. This meant I had to temporarily stop offering photography services and I began working for a local farming family. About a year later, I fell pregnant with my first child. Following maternity leave and the world returning somewhat normal, I decided this was a good time to begin rebuilding my photography business. I'll be honest; working alongside being a full-time stay at home parent is challenging, but so rewarding.
