My standards are high for professional photography- I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent scrolling through Facebook posts in various local parenting groups looking for the best- and Nikki is definitely one of the best in the area. The photos we received are gorgeous. She understands lighting and angles, her editing skills are on point, and she pays attention to details. (Absolutely no shadowy faces, harsh lighting, or anything over filtered or over exposed.) The end products are just beautiful. I have two very active kids who were not shy about it during our shoot and am so awkward in front of a camera and I really don’t know how she managed to capture so many beautiful moments in such a short time. She’s also just so nice! We had our photos back so quickly since I waited until the last second to get them done before baby arrives. All around a wonderful experience and so looking forward to seeing her in the future as our children grow.
Updated to add: she did it again with our newborn photos. Feeling like my family photo dreams have come true with both sessions.

Nikki is AMAZING! I booked a mini family session with her this spring and Nikki is so kind, professional, and dedicated to her work. She edited and returned our pictures within a week! They turned out so beautiful that I ended up purchasing the entire gallery. You will not be disappointed by her! Thanks so much, Nikki! We will absolutely be working with her again!

Book your session now! Nikki was professional, lovely, and friendly during our photo shoot. We were shy, and she told us about her vision and instructed us on achieving it. The photos are GORGEOUS! We will book many more of this in the near future.

My Mommy & Me shoot with Nikki Doyle Photography was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, Nikki made us feel so comfortable. Her warm and easygoing nature made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. She was patient and playful with my little ones, and was able to capture the sweetest moments effortlessly.
The final photos delivered were simply stunning, beyond what I could have hoped for. The photos captured beautiful moments I will treasure to look back on of my little ones. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and the beautiful memories she created for us. I highly recommend Nikki Doyle Photography, and will be a repeat client with her in the future.

I could not be happier about our family photo session with Nikki Doyle Photography. From the moment she and I began to coordinate via text, she was friendly and accommodating, answering my many questions and responding promptly. She went above and beyond by helping me choose the right outfits for my family that coordinated but weren’t too matchy-matchy and giving me honest and kind feedback about my options. She went above and beyond again to scope out the location the day prior to our shoot and discovered it was too muddy so she switched gears and chose another beautiful location that would be a better fit. Once we met face-to-face, she was just as warm and welcoming as she was over text. She was excellent with our children and has such a remarkable eye for capturing the most beautiful photos. She was even open to some of my ideas. She is kind, patient, professional, and super skilled at what she does! We will definitely use her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous photos that you can cherish for years to come! Thank you does not seem enough, Nikki! You are a gem!!!

We did a group session with my family, the grandparents and great grandparents. It was such a breeze that afterwards, everyone raved how wonderful she was. In the past, our group pictures weren't very successful with all the different personalities, but this time with Nikki was so easy and stress-free! Even my husband couldn't complain. 😂. My questions before and even after, she was very responsive and super helpful. Thanks again!!!

Nikki was absolutely amazing! We needed some family photos taken for our baby’s first birthday and Nikki came to our house and worked with the limited lighting we had, was able to improvise and even made our daughter laugh and we all had a great time! Nikki communicated really well and delivered our gallery quickly and the quality was great too! We can’t wait for the next opportunity to get our family photos done by Nikki.

Nikki was wonderful to work with! I booked a mommy and me mini session and my 2 year old was having a rough day and was riding the struggle bus. Nikki kept the vibe fun and positive and kept reassuring me that through all the craziness there were great shots being taken. The results were beautiful and I definitely plan on booking again with her in the future. Highly recommend booking with her as you will not be disappointed!

Nikki is such a talented photographer and kind person. We did a mini with her a few weeks back, and she handled the kiddos like a pro and took some beautiful family photos of us. We are so happy and hope to work with her again!

Nikki's website and instagram (@nikkidoylephotography) caught my attention. We booked our Fall mini session. The photos she delivered were so great, we've already booked another session.
Nikki was amazing with our young son and he warmed up to her at first introduction (rare!). It's so difficult to capture movement and personality in still photography and Nikki does it well!

Nikki was absolutely amazing. We did a mini fall session with my almost 2 year old and 4 month old and my husband and she was amazing with the kids. She got great poses for us as a couple, the kids and a family. This was our first time working with her and will definitely be reaching out again for family photos in the future. We also had my sister and her family in the time slot right in front of us and she was able to capture everyone together. Her turnaround time was great and can’t wait to share these pictures as gifts for family.

Nikki went above and beyond for my families mini fall session and she really didn’t have to! She was super fun to work with and would definitely get future photos done with her. Thanks again, Nikki!

Nikki is amazing! I initially reached out because I wanted a custom newborn and fall family combo package. She worked with me to customize a package and experience. She took the time to understand my vision and had strong communication leading up to the shoot. During the shoot she took time to get to know myself and my husband and was so patient with our little one. She took her time to capture each shot beautifully and would pause if we needed to take some time to soothe our baby. After the shoot she had great communication and I was SO impressed with the end product. I can’t wait to put these photos up in my home. We will definitely be using her for future family photos.

Nikki is amazing, family friendly and truly cares. She really makes the experience real - between the beautiful family moments and the toddler meltdowns, it was a great session overall with no drama from her! She rolls with punches and helps you capture the best sides of your family!!!

Amazing experience! She worked around our crazy schedule and got our photos back to us so fast for the holidays. We’re so grateful! She’s so very affordable too, especially here in the DMV area! You won’t be disappointed!
