Hi, my name is

Nikki Olivier

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” — Fredrick Douglass


Whether you found your way here via social media, a referral from a friend, or an online search I'm so glad you're here!  Creating family memories & making art for myself & others. The love affair with photography is all-consuming, it is beautiful & makes my heart sing. I'm now combining the past 25 years of experience in art, photography and teaching with my journey to becoming a professional photographer, educator and online entrepreneur.


My mission and goal are to encourage creative women to SHINE, and confidently capture images they love and appreciate, and can't wait to share. Build self-confidence and love themselves. Through my beginner to advanced training programs and one-on-one mentoring, I offer a safe space to learn, be creative and fall in love with your work.


I’m located on the Sunshine Coast and work worldwide + online. As a photographer, I specialize in creative lifestyle, fine art photography and art and I have a passion for floral photography. My work has been featured in numerous international magazines, blogs and books. 


MY BELIEF IN LIFE IS SIMPLE: Be real, be kind, follow your talent, create from your heart, focus on what matters and most of all - be a shining light!


That’s what I’m all about, and that’s my vision when I teach workshops and write on my blog.


When I'm not busy with my camera you'll find me working on yet another personal art project. I love anything to do with art and creativity. I paint my own backdrops, I love the beauty and simplicity of flowers and love pressing them, and using them in my artwork. I spend countless hours on YouTube learning new skills and investigating new concepts regarding creative photography. Our two children are almost grown up and will be leaving home soon, so I will have more time for the things I want to do. They are my biggest source of inspiration. The teenage years are tough, but it is beautiful to see them develop into adults.


Much of my time is spent being creative, so to keep my mind filled with ideas, and my body full of energy; I find it super important to rest my mind, body and soul.


I meditate in the words of God, take long walks with my dog and slow down and enjoy life's little moments. I am mindful to appreciate my surroundings and love the life I have been given.

Family Photos by Anya Maria Photography

When I am not photographing the people I adore or teaching others to create life-inspired art, I am spending time with the people I love, snuggling with my girls, wandering the perfect beaches of the beautiful paradise in which I love or hanging with my amazing best friend and husband, in comfy clothes, watching movies on Netflix, enjoying a good bottle of wine, cups of tea and appreciate the simplicity, beauty, and meaning in my everyday life.


I am truly blessed to have this life of mine.
