ABOUT NICKI
Nicki Hufford has over 16 years of experience and has become one of the most sought after senior photographers and educators in the country. She has been named one of the top senior photographers over 20 times by multiple photography organizations and in 2021 she was inducted into the SSG Hall of Fame for Senior Photographers. Recently she has taught on the national stage for The Push conference, PPA, Sync, Masterminds and Focus.
Nicki grew up in Vienna, Ohio where she followed her first dream of playing softball at the collegiate level. She then married her high school sweet heart, Paul and together they now run Nicki Hufford Photography. They have one daughter named Maddy, who has followed Nicki's love for softball and is committed to play in college. When not at the studio you can find them off-roading jeeps, at football or softball games, or spending time with family.
