Nessa K Photography

Photographer

I drink an absurd amount of mint tea and I make silly videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. I graduated with honors when I received my BFA in Photography from Shepherd University and I’ve lived in Austin TX, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, DC, and am now happily planted in Baltimore, Maryland.

My entire life, I’ve been in love with the act of documentation, taking photos of everything and keeping notebooks of observations. I wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. I scribbled the words “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.

As profound as my literary self-realizations were at 7 years old, it’s admittedly a little difficult to write about myself. Not to mention it’s much more interesting to tell stories using photographs, which thankfully, is exactly what I get to do. I narrate the world using captivating light and a series of photos that tell the story about the everyday you. Images that draw you back into that moment, that make you feel beautiful, that say exactly who you are. Read more

    Nessa was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. She is incredibly talented; her photos speak for themselves. But what you don’t fully understand until you work with Nessa is how wonderful of a person she is. We felt so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, laughing and goofing around with her. Her process is so thoughtful, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Hoping to find more excuses to work with her again!

    Nessa is a delight. She took the time to get to know us and build ideas about how to best capture the photos that we will have on out walls for the rest of our lives. At the wedding she was a perfect balance of "in-charge" and letting things happen naturally. She got everyone where they needed to be, when they needed to be there to ensure my wife and I got all the predetermined photos we told her we wanted. ...

    Nessa was an incredible wedding and engagement photographer from start to finish. Neither of us are comfortable in front of the camera but she is incredibly skilled at making it look like you are! She was professional, reliable, and totally put us at ease.

    An entire paragraph could be dedicated to how talented she is in general, but obviously her images are gorgeous and can totally speak for themselves. Somehow she captured all the best moments during our wedding day while remaining almost invisible. This was easily the best decision we made in regards to our wedding, she can make magic happen for any wedding, no matter what the details are. ...

    *Sigh* I still get all giggly and gushy every time I look at our engagement, wedding and post wedding photos. That's a lot of sessions, right? Honestly, we couldn't get enough of the amazing work Nessa produced. And she's super sweet to boot!

    Our photos were more beautiful than we expected and we were so fortunate to have found such a talented person so early on in our engagement. ...
