"“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone"

- Katie Thurmes

Get to know the face behind the camera..

My name is Nickie Runyan but to my family I am better known as mom and wife. I grew up in Pittsboro NC where I met my husband in high school. We started dating following graduation and on our 2 year anniversary we said “I do!”. Over a decade later we have been blessed with a beautiful life - we have 2 wonderful children along with our many fur and reptilian babies. I am follower of Christ, love experiencing life with my family, and passionate about capturing your most precious memories!

Creativity driven by passion..

At a young age I developed a deep love for photographs. I fondly remember lying on the living room floor flipping through our family albums my mom put together. Photos were a tangible way for me to hold onto a memory; a precious gift I don't take for granted. My artistic side paired with my passion for photography led me to pursue a career as a professional photographer. It is such a privilege to be behind the camera to capture your story through a lens.

Education

Through one on one mentorship programs and independent studying I have sharpened my skill set as a photographer and continue to learn day by day. The beauty about photography is it is forever changing and the learning opportunities are endless!

Work with Me

Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

As a mother I know how fast the clock ticks day by day, year by year. As your photographer I will help you freeze time in a snapshot so you can forever hold onto the sweet memories that map out your life’s journey. My goal is more than capturing an image; I want to create an atmosphere of fun and love that will result in pictures that need no words.
