WELCOME
My name is Nikia Paden, lifestyle photog & nonsense capturer based in Washington, DC.
I specialize in seizing meaningful moments that will cause major reminiscing. My sessions are meant to extract all the smiles by having families and their children engage in environments that are interactive and unleash authentic emotions.
My goal when working with small shop brands is to provide them with consciously diverse images to advertise the importance of Representation. These shoots showcase their products in a creative way that is on brand with their aesthetic.
Take a look around! If you have any further questions, fill out my contact form!

(Child & Lifestyle Sessions)
A little Nonsense is what I like to call my sessions with small children & my family lifestyle shoots. This time should be fun, whimsical & filled with tons of infectious smiles. In return I am able to capture candid moments that really show authentic happiness & joy.
