NICEE MARTIN

PHOTOGRAPHER • DESIGNER • CONSULTANT 

Hi There! 

I’m Nicee, that’s pronounced “NYS-see”. I am a city girl at heart, the youngest of two and I’m a total shoe addict… Translation: I am crazy ambitious, I have no clue what the word “NO” means and I really love shoes!!! I live for game nights with my friends; crowded around a table with a glass of wine and laughing into the wee hours of the morning… that is what weekends were made for.

I have the privilege of being married to thee most beautiful, loving, hard-working, patient, supportive and God-fearing man on the planet. Lance is my biggest supporter and my sounding-board; he pushes me to keep moving further when I am at my wits' end. There would be no Nicee Martin Photo & Design without him and everyday I pray that God never lets me forget that. Together, we are parents to the sweetest little boy and girl, Lance Jr. and Monroe whom we simply adore. It is such an honor to watch them grow before our eyes each and every day.

Most of my clients describe me as dedicated and hardworking, but ask my closest friends and they'll tell you that I can be a bit of a workaholic. At the core of what I do is an immense value for photography; value that is derived from being present in the moment and capturing a person’s true authentic self. I believe that portraits are meant to be printed, cherished and passed down to future generations. It is with this love and deep conviction that I started this company... and this is my gift to you.

BEGIN THE PROCESS

LET'S CHAT

Fill out the contact form and I will be in touch within 48 business hours.... Things we'll cover: Who am I? Who are you? Process? Pricing? The goal is to determine if we’re a good fit, because honestly custom artwork isn't for everyone!

LET'S MEET UP

What spaces are you looking to fill? That blank space above your sofa? The empty walls in your entry wall? I can help you figure that out! Let’s get together so you can view product samples, frames, canvases, and albums that I offer. Seeing is believing folks.

LET'S SHOOT

Gather the kids, grab a few props, and let’s hang out! I approach each session with the same philosophy and goal: to celebrate the special bond that you and your family share. I want you all to use this time together to reconnect with one another, create new memories, and just have a little fun. I’ll be there to capture the BIG moments and all those little in-between moments along the way.

LET'S CREATE

Sit back, relax and prepare to be amazed as I bring your vision and ideas to life right before your eyes. No guessing here. I'll show you exactly what your new artwork will look like in your home scaled to size- easy peasy. The result, family portraits done the right way! I look forward to exceeding all your expectations!

KUDOS + KIND WORDS

PHILANTHROPY

“Resolve to be tender with the young…

Compassionate with the aged…

Sympathetic with the struggling…

Tolerant with the weak and wrong….

For sometime in your life you will have been all of these”
