preserving the feeling of your memories

Hello, my name is

Nina!

I am so happy that you have found yourself here on my website, and I would love to introduce myself to you! I am a hybrid photographer based out of northern New Jersey and photographing the Northeast and beyond! My primary goal is to capture the feeling of your memories and create art out of your most treasured moments.

I shoot on small and medium format film, as well as with mirrorless digital cameras. I also have a passion for Super 8 video and have fallen in love with exploring life and love through analog video. I specialize in documentary style photography and I am forever evolving as a documentarian, eager to create new connections and learn new techniques for exploring people’s lives through images—still and moving.

Your life is a

work of art
