About Us

Ben and I met when we were just toddlers. Over the years, our families’ lives crossed path, but it wasn’t until August of 2004 when I came to visit my grandparents in Ben’s hometown of Wenatchee, Washington that we became more than just acquaintances.  After our first date at Wendy’s I knew we were going to get married. It took Ben a little longer to come around, but in June of 2005 we were engaged in the Costco parking lot in Los Angeles. Yes, an interesting place to get engaged- I will have to tell you the story sometime! We married on December 17, 2005 in the same church that my parents were married in. 6 happy years later we have two of the cutest children ever! Harrison,4 and Adelaide, 3. We are so thankful for the blessed life we have.

My husband loves electronics like I love a good espresso and a piece of chocolate (ok, maybe more than one piece!).  His love for photography started with cameras because it is one more electronic to conquer! I bought my first point and shoot as a child and haven’t stopped taking photos since. I studied at Brooks Institute of Photography. When we married we converged all of our photo gear.  Soon enough a close friend got engaged and I offered to photograph her wedding. My friend’s wedding was a defining moment in our lives. Ben and I enjoyed that time together so much, the photos turned out great, and most importantly, the bride, my friend was happy!  Things snowballed from there and that is how Nickles Photography was born!
