    "I have just recently found Nikki and I am in awe. I wish I could have found her earlier because now I cant stop looking through her stream! Seriously.. every photo evokes such emotion. There are more than a few photos that I have spent long minutes just staring at. I love her art. Of course, her hair flips always amaze me. :) I am so glad I found her and I can't wait to see what else she has to offer!"

    "Nikki,
    The first day you added me as a contact, I gasped. Your photos were beautiful and you had so many comments and views and favorites that it just astounded me that you would even care about a little stream like mine! You've always left amazing comments, that truly seem from the heart and not a ploy to get more comments on your own work. It's not often I believe that people here truly earn and deserve all the attention here. But I believe you do. You're an amazing photographer and an amazing person. You're a huge inspiration to me, letting me know that I can do more. That I can be more. To strive to take better photos. You are an amazing photographer and an even better artist. Your imagination and creativity never fails to amaze me. Never stop creating because you have too much of a talent to let it go.

    So thanks for adding me as a contact that one random day. It's lead me to be an even better photographer.

    -Kristi"

    You do some of the coolest edits I've ever seen.
    I started following your 365 at some point near the end of it, and when I looked at the beginning I did a double take. I couldn't believe that anyone could go from not knowing much about photography to taking such stunning photos in only a year!
    I know you will go far in photography.
    Stay awesome :]"

Her editing is also gorgeous and she never fails to amaze and impress. Of course, she is also a pro at hairflips and snow shots!

    I've had many a day where I've looked through her fairytale-esque stream just to find some inspiration."

    but i didn't SO here it goes. every single photograph you capture reminds me... or no; puts me into a different world. like when you're young and naive and dream about those worlds where everything is better then real life and is full of cotton candy and
    popcorn but better, your photos have so much life and
    creativity and i know i have about 25 run on sentences
    but screw it... you are just so amazing."

    "dearest nikki,
    i've called you a contact since the beginning. i've watched you turn 19, get your D3000, pass your 5 year anniversary with your boyfriend, finish your 365 and even start another one and i have seen you grow tremendously as a photographer. it's been awhile, really, around 6 months, and everyday, i grow even more impressed with your amazing, amazing work. you are such a huge inspiration to me. everything you do is inspiring. if i ever need inspiration, i just come on over to your page and look around and somehow, something pops into my head. while you are much older than me, i feel like i could rely on you if i needed someone to talk to or just someone to give me advice. you are an amazing, amazing person, nikki, and i can't wait to see what you do in the future. one day, i'm going to see your name in a magazine or in a book and i can say, i knew her when she was still just on flickr. before she was famous. and i called her a flickr friend and i still do now. i will be proud when i see that. and i can't wait for that to happen because it will be a moment where i can look back and remember 2010 because that's when i first met you and that's when it was all pretty much just beginning. i can't wait for that day to come. and i know that it will in time.
    with much love,

    "To be honest, I don't remember where or when I found Nikki's flickr but I am more than glad I did. It was probably about halfway through her 365, so every day she would be the first one I'd check on my contact list. Not only has it been wonderful to watch her grow as an amazing photographer, but to hear what is going on with her life which not everybody does on flickr- make it more personal. I love all of her ideas from her hairflips to phobias to the item collab.

    Even though the 365 journey is over she'll still be one of the first I check for updates on flickr each day :)"

    "Since your 365 has just ended, why not tell you how amazing you are because you are! Seriously I was blown away when I found your 365, partly because you made use of what you had, specially only having a point and shoot. You truly are an extraordinary photography because it really isn't about the camera, it is about the person behind the camera. Going through your 365, it was a complete shock how you ended from where you had started. Your first picture was just a casual not very artsy picture you could see on Facebook (I hope that doesn't offend you at all!) and you finished with one of your most beautiful works. You are such an inspiration to not just me but so many others and I know you will go far in the art work."

    "Awe-inspiring. Creative. Compassionate. Innovative. Individualistic. Redolent.
    The one that reminds me of quiet winter evenings when you sit by your window and watch the snow and think. Those evenings that radiate feelings of comfort and beauty.
    The one that reminds me of the loud summer nights when you think you'll live forever. Those nights where the world is before you with arms stretched out and all you have to do is walk forward and embrace it. Those nights where you stay up and laugh and love and think nothing of pain or fear.
    The one that reminds me of lonely walks through the woods at sunset when you see nothing but brilliance.
    The one that reminds me of the silent fears that are invoked when at a graveyard at night. The solemn, grave anxiety that eats at your insides, but is too lovely to let go of.
    The one that reminds me of beauty and acceptance. The one that told me that everyone is beautiful no matter what society says.
    The amazing one.
    The inspiring one.
    The fantastic one.

    That's the Nikki I know. She can make anything into a photograph; she can wrap a concept into a rectangle and convey it with outstanding accuracy and clarity. I find myself being unable to resist visiting her photostream everyday for either inspiration or guidance.
    Her editing is on a steady incline of improvement and, while she is excellent now, I am excited to see what she produces further down the road. Even without proper cameras and accessories, she managed to create worlds of her own.

    With a mind that you do not often find in this bleak world, Nikki is masterpiece herself. And I suggest we all sit back and watch as she outshines us all."

    "Nikki, I always seem to comment on your photos but I haven't written a testimonial.
    Your photographs are brilliant. They are so inspirational. I envy your talent to create creative images and to use objects to their full potential. You take such stunning shots they turn out to be so amazing, sometimes I can't think of what to write and it takes me a while to think of something to say.
    I know we don't talk that much, but I always look at your blogs and I can tell that you are a lovely person and kind. Your phobia series has been so inspirational and it has guided me to take images, similar to yours, that will be a part of my coursework.

    Keep on taking wonderful images as your talent for photography is endless and absolutely amazing :)"

    you're such a wonderful contact as well as a beautiful and honest person: inside and out.

    Every single one of your photos is full of something new; bright personality, color and joy. And frankly, I've found myself staring at them for long periods of time just admiring the beauty. You are so sweet in all your comments, just the small ones mean so much to me.

    Well, as I said I have been following your work for some time now. I came across a vibrant picture of a young girl reaching for the sky while her hair went upwards like flames! I instantly recognize your pictures now. I can see such improvement with each upload, especially with your new camera, you capture colors beautifully and contrast them with your quirky dresses and home made props. I really like you, because you often look up at the sky, there is a sense of humbleness in your photographs that really emphasizes how small we all are...keep on looking up, flipping your copper hair in the light and making fantastic props!

    "Nikki is one of the most talented photographers I have seen here on Flickr. Her photos are a delight to look at daily and so inspiring. Though she is always modest, she is still so confident with herself and her work, and it shows. Not only that, but she is also an amazing and unbelievably supportive friend. Keep it up, Nikki, you're incredible!"

    "Okay, so I NEED to post a testimonial, because you seriously are one of my favorite contacts EVER. Even if I am still pretty new, you will still be in my top 5 favorites. Your photos are SO inspirational, and have so much life to it. You are the queen of hair flips. The textures of your photos are beautiful, your ideas are fresh, and even if they're inspired off of something else, you STILL make it your own! You are truly a beautiful person, and you bring it out in your photos so well. I have never had a conversation with you before, but I just know you are beautiful inside & out. I just know it. Your photos cannot lie."

    "Alot of people have written her one of these but she is very deserving of them. her work is most fascinating and inspiraing, I enjoy most of her images and I'm glad I had come across her stream. I really think alot of people will like her work as much as I do.

    Her images bring so much life to them and so much of her personality, it's quite beautiful how she can portray herself so well through though her images and she captures her ideas so well and creates a mood in her work that, just forces me to remember her work and wanting to see more and more.

    I really look forward to seeing more of her work as I've said and what she comes up with in her incredible imagination that seems boundless. She is very talented and a very nice person to what I can tell about her. Everyone really should take the time she deserves and look for her stream."

    "You're basically just wonderful in every way.
    You have every fantastic aspect a great photographer should have.
    - You are insanely creative and always put so much effort into your pictures. I can always tell you didn't just take a picture on the spot. You really work hard on your pictures and it shows. And your Harry Potter series is brilliant. I love it!
    - You are really unique. Like someone else said, I can always tell when a picture is yours. You have already developed this wonderful style.
    - You get better every single time you upload. And you never cease to "WOW" me with the ideas you come up with and the ways you execute them.

    You have such a future in photography ahead of you, love. Please never give it up.
    And thank you for being such a dear Flickr friend. You are on of the sweetest people here on Flickr."

All of her pictures are wonderful and original and the themes are fantastic. Keep up the good work Nikki, I am looking forward to continuously looking at your photos in the future. I also thank you for visiting my stream as well :)"

    "So, where to start?
    Her work is awesome.

    It's great how she combines abstract and natural elements, dark and bright tones and colours.
    I think, she loves what she is doing and she enjoys it in every possible way.
    But i HAVE to mention that her editing is one of the best I've truly ever seen. Like the ' Expecto Patronum'.
    She does not only show her love for Harry Potter but also her joy and love for photography and creativity.

    But in one point we're similar. We both like Harry Potter ;)"

    "I've never written a testimonial before, so this definitely won't be your best. But you are incredible. You have such great ideas, and your creativity is such a drive, and I can see it inspires many people on this site.

    You have such a unique style, I can always tell if a photo is yours. You work so well with action and drama, you always have a gorgeous dress on and your hair is always flying in the air. And each of your photos has a bit of magic in them. You make fantasies real with your work.

    Thank you for being on this site to inspire us all."

    "I am almost ashamed to confess that I am just now discovering the Nikki's photography. Yes, that's true. I was oblivious to the amazingness that her photostream is until a couple of days ago.

    I am in awe, which I think is good, when one is trying to write a testimonial. The photos I loved are still fresh in my mind, and I can say for sure that Nikki's art is so rich in imagery, in details, in iconography, that it makes me feel like I'm back in college, analyzing works of the Impressionists, or of the early painters.

    The thing about this photostream, though, is that none of the photos seem to appear only in two dimensions. I mean, most photos you can see as a slice of paper and nothing more, but these photos have volume, almost like a bas-relief, or one of those pop-up books that make us smile. That's what I think is amazing about Nikki's photos.

    Hopefully, I'll be writing more, sometime later, when you're even better and even bigger in this "scene". But until then, thank you for commenting on my photos when I wasn't following yours (something that shows how lovely you are), and for sharing your beautiful art with us."

She suprises me with what she comes up with next every time she uploads. Don't even get me started on her phobia set because it is utterly amazing. Seriously, stop reading this and go check it out! And when she's not off doing some crazy cool phobia picture, she's taking a pretty, happy picture that always brightens my day. Her versatility makes her stream always something to look forward to.
    Nikki is a wonderful person and such a sweetheart. She keeps up with all of her contacts' streams and always has the nicest things to say. Anyone who has added her should be lucky to have her as a contact because I know I am :)
    Keep up all the great work, girlie!"
