About the photographer, Lauren Nikiel of Lauren Nikiel Studio - a family portrait and brand photographer in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Lauren Nikiel Studio is a business rooted in my passion for design, aesthetically pleasing creative projects, children, and photography! My vision is to work together with families to provide tangible, lifelong artworks that capture the precious blessing of togetherness.      As a child, I often crafted bouquets with wildflowers, re-painted the same sunset scene to perfection, or rode my bike with the neighborhood friends.  Fortunately, adulthood isn’t much different.  I began my career post-grad in San Diego, California in fashion marketing and floral design - photographing on the side while I earned my degree in media communications!   After I taught wellness workshops to public school students with a non-profit, I was teaching at a Montessori school when I heeded God's invitation to a lifelong dedication to children's education.  Today, I bring my creative passions and refined skills together as a family and brand photographer in North Carolina. I create family storytelling sessions through playful, documentary-style portraits.
Here are a few of my favorite hobby shots over the past few years:
