I just wanted to say I was so happy with Nicky's professionalism and planning for our special day. She helped me get exactly what I wanted and captured a truly surprised now fiance's expression when I popped the question to her. I can't wait to work with her as our family photographer from now on!

Out of the blue, I googled "autism photography Manteca" and saw Nikki's photography page. Coco has ASD and needless to say, she has sensory issues and very skiddish when it comes to new people. Surprisingly on the day of shooting, Nikki made her so comfortable that she warmed up so quick. Coco would hug her, run to her (with the help of M&M's), smile and laugh , it was unbelievable. Nikki is indeed a kid whisperer. What's most important is the pictures turned out so beautiful, I can't stop staring at them. She gave me the sneak peeks 3 hours later and I cannot be more satisfied with the results. Thank you so much! We will indeed be repeat customers!
-Nina Boling Having a very energetic child, photos can be difficult and Nicole made my son Henry feel very comfortable. The whole shoot was very fun for him, she brought stickers for him and even included his sisters and me in some of the shots! It felt very natural and the photos came out great! I will definitely use Nicole Byington Photograpy in the future and highly recommend her for Autistic children like my son, she was so good with him. I can't say thank you enough!

"The photo shoot with Nicky was an experience...Like most men, I didn’t want to go. I wasn’t really looking forward to it and had only conceded because my wife agreed to buy me whatever I wanted for dinner. (She knows how to get what she wants. lol) All of my “kicking and screaming” was pointless though. The entire time we were out there, Nicky and my wife made it fun. Nicky’s personality and mannerisms were entertaining and endearing. It was easy to understand why my wife spoke so highly of her. If you are looking for someone who will not only provide unique, wonderful, and memorable pictures of your family/event, but make it a genuine experience as well, you can’t go wrong with Nicky.” -Tim Barker |

"Nicky made this experience so much fun! At first my boyfriend and I were nervous because we didn't know what to expect, but she really knows how to guide you into each pose which makes it super easy to feel comfortable.

"Kevin and I had a great time playing bride and groom with Nicky. She took a school assignment that could have been very tedious for us and turned it into a fun romantic couple of hours. She has also done family photos for my son and daughter-in-law which remain to be my favorite picture of them. Nicky has great talent and vision and is a pleasure to work with." -Deborah Kingdon |

“Nicole is as artist who really goes above and beyond to show the very best of you whether that is climbing atop a ladder to get the best shot or telling a funny joke to get the perfect smile. She is easy to work with and made me feel totally at ease for my boudoir shoot which, is not easy to do. I have never felt so in touch with my femininity. I finished the shoot feeling beautiful, glamorous and classy. She found a way for the photos to have an intimate and personal quality that captured me perfectly. Thank you Nicole!” -Ashley Anderson |

"Nicky creates the greatest atmosphere for anybody to feel completely comfortable and natural. With Nicky's amazing attitude and vision, it allowed my boyfriend and I to forget there was even a camera in the room, which allowed true, raw emotions to be captured. The best experience ever." -Shanna Rae Taylor |
"Nicky did our engagement photos for us. I have never seen more professionally compiled work from an 18 year old student then the work she did for us. She has pure talent for photography and I could not recommend anyone better. Thank you again Nicky, you are truly working beyond your years in ability!"
-Cait Carignan "Thank You Nicky for the amazing engagement photos! I'm very proud that one of my former after school program kids took these incredible photos. Everyone that sees them are very impressed about your work and even more impressed that you are eighteen years old." ( Taken in 2011) -Anthony Williams |
"Nicky Byington did an incredible job shooting my family and newborn. Her patience was tested working with a 2 1/2 week old and although my son was being difficult, Nicky still managed to capture breath taking images. I fell in love with a family portrait she took. She captured our souls in that photo. I've worked in the modeling industry for years and have worked with many professional photographers and I must say I am impressed by Nicky's passion and capabilities. Thank you Nicky. We can't stop looking at our photos." Meisha Kingdon |
