84: Nikki Closser - Getting Moms in Front of the Camera

from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean

Nikki Closser is a Seattle and Michigan based photographer and a new mom. She is madly in love with her work and with her baby. Nikki always knew she would be a working mom. She knew her passion for her work would not diminish in motherhood. However, she didn’t expect her passion for motherhood to be so strong. She admits that while she loves her work, motherhood is magical, and she doesn’t know why she put it off for so long.   Nikki’s work photographing women is phenomenal. I had the immense pleasure of doing a shoot with her about a year ago and felt an immediate connection to her and everything she stands for in womanhood, entrepreneurship and motherhood (even though she was only a few months pregnant when we met). She also might love wine as much as me – so we’re basically soul mates.    The way Nikki reaches women through photography is breathtaking. Every woman she works with is made to feel like a true supermodel. Nikki is kind and gentle, but assertive and confident in her work, putting women at ease the moment they enter her studio. Doing a shoot with her is an amazing life experience I would recommend to any woman.    Listen in to hear Nikki share:   Here first Mama Bear moment – just seconds after her son was born How she and her husband envisioned and created a travel lifestyle with Van How she dives deep into work and into motherhood – but doesn’t let the two converge   What she sees through her lens as she photographs a woman Why she thinks every woman deserves a lavish photoshoot and gorgeous photos of themselves   Links Mentioned: Nikki Closser: http://nikkiclosser.com/ Sue Bryce: http://suebryce.com/ Nikki on Facebook Nikki on Instagram Book: Monique in the Mango Rains SMA Ep 54: Rebecca Michi Children’s Sleep Consultant   Learn more about your ad choices.
