I’m Nikki, a writer, photographer, creator and adventurer living in Las Vegas, NV. 

A self-proclaimed collector of great moments; as life supplies me with new adventures, I strive to find the slivers of joy in each day, sharing the highlights in written and visual form along the journey.

With a lifelong passion for writing and photography, and a professional career founded on journalism, my career path has led me in various directions over the years, providing me with the honed skills of multifaceted content creation and digital marketing. 

This site, Ink and Shutter, is a symbolic representation of my two main passions; writing and photography. Here you’ll find content related to my ongoing adventures and travel, photography and artistic endeavors creating nature inspired art and custom decor.

In addition to available options for custom art commissions, ready to purchase pieces are available on my Etsy shop, The Jealous Pen, which is a nod to taking a break from writing to explore other creative efforts.

I hope that you enjoy my journeys and find my content visually inspiring. If you have any questions or would like to know more, feel free to reach out — I’d love to hear from you.
