Captured by Nikki

Captured by Nikki My name is Nikki Francis. I am a local photographer from Kitchener Ontario. Portrait photography is my passion! Hey there! But two dreams stood out the most.

While you take a look at my page I thought I might tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Nikki and as you can see from my website, I am a photographer. My passion is photographing and capturing every precious moment life has to offer! A little bit more about myself:

As a little girl I had many dreams, like every little girl in the world! Become a nurse, rock star, princess, teacher or ma

ybe a vet. One was to become a teacher, the other to become a photographer. I recently had a medical setback and was unable to fulfill my dream of teaching, but I am thrilled to say that my photography career has taken off! Working with children always came naturally to me and this is what I did for many years by babysitting, volunteering at schools and being a nanny. I have a natural love and patience for children. I feel as this helps me create a connection with little ones, which allows me to create amazing natural and fun filled images of them. Even though I love working with children I also love working with adults and large groups of people. I love to capture every moment of life, from newborn to maternity, engagement to your special day! I love watching how you transform at a shoot from nervous and giggly to not even noticing I'm there, trusting me and being in your moment. I am honoured and blessed to be asked to capture your life story, from belly to baby to family. It means the world to me to have a continued relationship with my clients and watch your story grow! I believe that everyone is beautiful, even if you tell me, “I'm not photogenic”! I can’t wait to meet you and capture your life in photographs! Contact info:

Some sessions stay with you long after you put the camera down.

On Saturday, I had the incredible honour of photographing a Celebration of Life in Baptiste Lake, Bancroft. I’ll admit… I cried through almost the entire ceremony. Listening to story after story, watching family and friends gather from across Canada and the USA, it became so clear just how deeply David was loved.

By the end of the day, I felt like I knew him too.

His nickname was “Grandpa Canada,” and after hearing the laughter, the memories, and the love shared by everyone there, I completely understood why. It was a beautiful reminder that a life isn’t measured by years, but by the people whose lives you’ve touched.

As photographers, we’re often invited into life’s biggest moments—weddings, newborns, milestones, and sometimes goodbyes. It is never something I take for granted. Thank you to David’s family for trusting me to preserve such meaningful memories.

Rest easy, Grandpa Canada. “It isn’t goodbye, it’s until I see you again.”

A very special thank you to Mineral Capital Catering for creating such a warm and beautiful space for everyone to gather. The thoughtful décor and wonderful food made the celebration feel just as special as the life being honoured.

6 photos I loved but never shared.

A little hand held between two parents.
A promise made beside the water.
A laugh between two people in love.
The anticipation of meeting someone new.
A family settling into life with someone brand new.
A giggle shared between a mother and her daughter.

The moments are different, but the reason I photograph them is the same: these are the memories that become priceless with time.

I don’t know why these never made it to my feed, but looking back, they’re still some of my favourites. ✨

I think I found my favourite place to shoot 🌿now booking June 27th

Hidden in the trees, filled with soft light, vintage details, and the dreamiest atmosphere.

These greenhouse sessions are perfect for families, maternity, couples, motherhood, or simply documenting a season you never want to forget.

A slower, more storytelling approach to portraits — with room to actually breathe, connect, and create something meaningful.

Summer greenhouse sessions are now booking. You don’t wanna miss this opportunity. ✨

Some moments deserve to be frozen forever 🤍
The way they look at each other, laugh together, and hold onto these little in-between moments so naturally. Motherhood is beautifully chaotic.
