Hello
I’m onika
I’m a wedding photographer who loves capturing all the small moments in life.
My interest in photography began well before I picked up a camera. I’ve always been drawn to the ability of images to convey emotion, document meaningful moments, and tell stories with clarity and impact.
With each photograph, my goal is to capture not only the subject but the sentiment behind it—authentic expressions, genuine connections, and moments that hold lasting value. Photography, for me, is both a craft and a commitment to preserving the elements of life that matter most.
MY STORY
I wasn’t always a photographer, but I always knew I wanted to connect with people.
For as long as I can remember, photography has been part of who I am. When I got my first camera as a kid, I immediately started documenting everything—light, people, everyday moments. I didn’t know then that it would turn into a career, but I’ve always been drawn to noticing the details others might overlook.
In early 2024, I turned that long-standing interest into a business. My focus is on the in-between moments—the natural, unposed interactions that often matter most. A glance, a laugh, a quiet connection. Those are the moments I aim to preserve.
My work is grounded in presence and care, both behind the camera and in my profession as a nurse in the birth center. Supporting new life and being trusted during such meaningful milestones is something I value deeply. Whether I’m photographing a moment or caring for a family at the bedside, I bring the same intention, respect, and steady commitment
Beyond the camera, I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Tristen. He’s my biggest supporter and the calm to my creative chaos. We share our home with Ceaser, our endlessly energetic German Shorthaired Pointer/Chesapeake Retriever mix, who keeps us on our toes and our hearts full.
I’m also a sister, an aunt, and proudly my mama’s daughter. Family means everything to me, and I bring that same sense of closeness and care into every session I photograph.
Whether you’re celebrating a love story, a growing family, or simply want to bottle up this chapter of life, I’m here to help you tell it—honestly, beautifully, and with heart.
