    "I've been wanting to write a testimonial for Nikki in ages but just couldn't find the words...and I still can't! How to you describe someone who captures the beauty of life, the joy of childhood in her captures? An artist, is how I would describe Nikki. Just as a painter uses their brush to achieve and tell a story, Nikki uses her camera.
    I love visiting her stream to see what new she has. Also, she is a very amazing, supportive person who takes her time to help out. And I am forever grateful for her helping me.

    Wishing you all the very best in your photography journey Nikki, I know you will be great!"

    "Well. I forgot how I actually found you but probably from one of my contacts or from a group related to Hawaii. I'd like to say that you are quite a wonderful contact and that it makes me jealous that your photos are so amazing even though we use the same camera. x)

    I'm glad you got into photography or I would have never found you. Your kids and nieces/nephews are all very cute. You have awesome photographing skills, editing skills, and awesome little models. :) You seem like a great mom and I hope you stay with photography forever. :D"

    "This testimonial is probably long overdue, but I thought I would give it a go anyway. :)

    Nikki is an extraordinary photographer who really has a great eye for portraits. Not only are the pictures captivating but the tones, colors, and mood so appealing. I can always tell which pictures are Nikki's just from looking at the thumbnail. It helps to have kids that are so photogenic but Nikki, you are amazing at engaging them and this comes through in all your photos. You're going to do great with your new business."

    "I have one word that I'll start out with for Nikki - Amazing.
    She is an amazing mom, and you can tell from everything she says and the way that she captures them how much she loves her family and how much they love her back.
    She is an incredibly amazing photographer! Her 365 of Connor and her 52 of Kaci are so creative and full of life and love and family. To top it off, her techniques and execution and processing and everything else are all top notch.
    She is an amazing friend. She was one of my first flickr contacts when I followed her over here from DPS, and she is so wonderfully supportive and kind. I hope to someday meet her and her fabulous family. I look forward to seeing them here every day!"

    "I met Nikki through our mutual "note buddy" Elle :) Thanks, Elle!!!!

    I love Nikki's stream. You can see her passion for her photography and her family through the awesome images she shares with us all daily...and it's so obvious that Connor and Kaci share in her passion =)

    It is a delight to be her flickr friend and to share in her life as she expresses it through her camera lens. Hopefully one day I'll be able to trek my clan over to Hawaii to meet up with her clan for some fun memories ;)"

    "i have no idea how i found you in the first place, but all i can say is that i've been kind of dying to write you a testimonial and that i'm so glad to have found your flickr page because your pictures have really grown on me for the past months i've been on here. the way you capture moments of just even your children is inspiring. they're what i would probably call perfect "kodak" moments and i love each and every photo you have taken and i can only hope to become just as great as you are! your pictures are really awesome and i mean it from the bottom of my heart :] and all your comments are so sweet, it really keeps me encouraged!
    keep up the great work nikki! your pictures are fantastic!"

    "(I found out how to write a testimonial!!!)
    I've been wanting to write a testimonial forever now, but the words I type cannot desribe how I feel about Nikki's amazing photography (that and the fact that I still have no clue how to work this thing!). Every single image Nikki uploads brings a smile to my face, she has such a beautiful family and such an amazing talent for capturing things just in time. She also has creativity, something which is (believe it or not) very rare in a photographer these days. Her unique photography is what made me notice her pictures at first and what makes her my favourite photographer on Flickr. She inspires me a lot, so thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures with everyone, you've inspired me and I'm sure you'll inspire millions more young photographers too.

    "There is so much to be said about the wonderful Nikki.
    As a person she is caring, enthousiastic, happy, humble, perseverant, endearing, funny, easy going, "full of awesomeness" as we often agree with her partner Chris, to name only a few of her qualities. She is an all round, 120% good person.
    But as a photographer, she is all of that too but she is also incredibly talented and creative . One of the most inspiring person on Flickr, if you ask me, for her simple yet always perfect portrayal of everyday life.
    She captures what she loves and loves what she captures and that's about as good as it gets for a photographer.

    Lots of love to you ma dear. *MWAAAAH*!"

    "I would consider Nikki the "heart" of flickr...always bright and happy each day with her wonderful shots of Connor and Kaci. What a wonderful gift this will be for them one day. You don't know Nikki how much it will mean to them....ask Angella...she knows.
    I love you Nikki...and always look forward to your posts, whether I'm able to comment or not...they always make me smile or even chuckle. Your friendship makes me smile even more. Here's to many more years of posts and friendship."

    "Nikki is such a wonderful photographer in many different aspects. In one aspect, she is a very inspiring photographer who produces works of art that inspires fellow photographers to keep at it and to enhance their creativity in every way possible.

    Nikki shows through her photos that she's a wonderful and devoted mother who will obviously have tons and tons of photos of her children for years to come.

    Her creativity and imagination never ceases to amaze me. She's able to create something new and fresh each day and usually always with the same model, her son.

    Keep up the fabulous work!"

    "I met Nikki through the 365 project, and I've managed to see a wide variety of excellent shots from her throughout this year. She's great at capturing that split second moment of emotion in her children, as well as other photographic subjects. I think one of the keys to her photos is she brings her camera with her to most places(as far as I can tell through the photos). You have to when you have little connor and kaci to keep up with. I find it really interesting that she's basically going to have a whole timeline of connor's childhood, they grow super fast so every shot will bring great happiness when she looks back on these days. :)

    Wonderful photographer, supermom, great person :)."

    "I have been an avid follower of Nikki’s photostream for quite some time now and what this lady does is simple inspirational. Her use of natural light is captivating in way that that each shot I’ve seen is magical and looks as if they are on a location set with a professional lighting kit.

    How is it possible for one person to create such stunning pictures that have the most beautiful framing and gorgeous bokeh that leaves you wanting to have a go (but never matching up) at creating the magic like Nikki does.

    Finally she is one of the kindest, sweetest and most loyal people I have ever met on flickr and I am so glad we stumbled upon each others photosreams when we did. Here’s to at least 255 more wonderful photo’s from a master."
