Meet my incredible friend Nicki. She's a life changing friend to say the least. We bonded over our mutual appreciation for all things creative... and the fact that we both shoot with Nikons, and practically live off of cold brew coffee.  :-) Seriously though, Nicki is one-of-a-kind and inspires me to chase after my artistic passions which I am so thankful for.

Luckily for us, we met at college but our hometowns are close so we get to hang out during the summertime! That's what we did this day -- coffee and catch up at the Mocha Monkey, and then a super spontaneous portraiture shoot for her in downtown Waconia. These photos represent everything I love about Nicki: natural, pure, authentic, and fun. And she's also out-of-this-world beautiful. Love ya, soul sis!
