Hi! I’m Tamara, the heart behind NikoBella Photography—a wedding and family photographer based in New Market, Maryland. I serve clients throughout Frederick, Mt. Airy, Urbana, and beyond, capturing honest, emotional, joy-filled moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

My photography style is an expression of my belief in love, laughter and light. A blend of genuine connection, warm tones, and beautifully candid storytelling.

​

I’m so happy you’re here! Because I believe that getting to know my clients is the key to an unforgettable experience, I’d love to share a little bit more about me and the heart behind the lens.

Why I Do This

​

  • I didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a photographer—but when I picked up a camera to capture my own family’s milestones, something clicked (pun intended!). Photography became my passion.
  • After many years of experience capturing weddings, senior portraits, and family photography in Frederick, Maryland, I’m still in awe of the magic that happens when people feel seen, celebrated, and beautifully themselves.
 

My Approach

​
  • Whether you're planning an elegant barn wedding, scheduling family portraits at golden hour, or celebrating your high school senior, I approach each session with patience, creativity, and heart.
  • I specialize in:
    • Candid, natural light photography
    • Making even the most camera-shy people feel at ease
    • Capturing the in-between moments: a laugh, a glance, a squeeze of the hand
 

 A Few Things About Me

​
  • I’m a proud mom of two amazing girls who inspire me every day.
  • I love coffee, a good playlist, and a perfectly timed golden hour.
  • I believe the best photos come when you're not trying too hard—just being your beautiful self.
 

 Let’s Work Together

​
  • If you’re looking for a wedding or family photographer in Maryland who brings calm energy, an eye for light, and a love for real connection—I’d be honored to work with you.
  • Take a peek at my wedding collections, portrait sessions, or head over to the contact page to say hello.
