I'm Mikki, your Southwest Nebraska Motherhood, Maternity, & Newborn Photographer
I'm Mikki!
Hi there!
I never planned on becoming a photographer, but the best things in life rarely follow a plan. The quiet strength, the grounded grace, the raw chaos only mothers witness behind the scenes—those are the threads I weave into the art I create.
Because I know you’re juggling a thousand things. You’re tired, stretched, doing your best, and holding a whole world together. And still, there is beauty in the now—beauty you may not realize until years from today. My role is to meet you where you are, make the experience feel easy and warm, and create photographs that hold onto what your memory might one day soften or forget.
At the heart of it all, I love Jesus and my family deeply, and I’m endlessly grateful for this calling. Each session reminds me of His goodness, His faithfulness, and the quiet wonder He’s placed in every family, every story, every fleeting moment. It’s an honor to preserve yours.
I’m not just a photographer—I’m the one who will piggyback your barefoot toddler through a field at sunset, soothe your brand-new baby while you take a breath, drop to the ground to love on your pup, or cry alongside you as you share the stories that shaped your family. I’m here as both an artist and a friend… someone who truly gets the beautiful, exhausting, heart-stretching season you’re in.
I’m a maternity, newborn, motherhood, and family photographer based in Grant, Nebraska, serving Southwest Nebraska and the surrounding communities. My happiest moments are found in the warmth of the studio with a fresh newborn curled into my arms, helping a mama-to-be feel seen and stunning in her maternity season, or chasing belly laughs across a pasture at golden hour.
Life has carved a deep tenderness in me. A reversed cancer diagnosis early in my marriage shifted the way I see the world—I began noticing the tiny, unspoken in-between moments most people rush past. That perspective only deepened through years of infertility and now, walking the wild and sacred road of motherhood myself. When you’ve lived through seasons that have rewritten your story, you learn how quickly time can slip away… and how priceless these everyday moments really are.
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think"

Loved our experience with. mikki! Our newborn session was so easy. She also encourages mommas to take pictures with their newborns. I was hesitate because let’s face it, when you have a newborn, you know you aren’t in the best shape of your life, but Mikki makes you feel beautiful AND she captures that in your photos. Also having her style you and your baby was amazing! It takes that stress off of you and she pulls exactly what she thinks will look best! Enjoy being carefree during your newborn session and just focus on baby snuggles… because they are only this little for such a short time!

"Mikki makes you feel beautiful and she captures that in your photos!"
we can’t recommend her enough! Her client closet and styling is a huge stress relief especially for a new mama. My husband doesn’t love photos but felt very comfortable and even had a fun time during our session!! Mikki captures all the sweet little details and candid moments. Our photos from our session with her still bring tears to my eyes and I cherish the photos more and more as time goes by. Also, Mikki is THE BABY WHISPERER! She knew so many ways to soothe and comfort our newborn. The newborn phase goes by in the blink of an eye, Mikki is the best and we are forever grateful to have those beautiful photos.

"Mikki went above and beyond to ensure the safety of our new baby."
Mikki is one of the absolute sweetest humans I’ve ever met. I was blown away by our session, The pictures themselves are simply stunning and her attention to detail blows me away. By far my favorite pictures we’ve had done of our family and I can’t wait to have future sessions with her! She is professional, kind, talented and so easy to work with. I would recommend her over and over again!
