Welcome!

My name is Julie Nikota and I am a full-time internationally published Professional Photographer and Makeup Artist. I specialize in headshot and beauty images. I enjoy working with great talent and like to come up with concepts that will add to my book and to yours. I like to have a lot of fun during a photo shoot, and I'm easy to get along with, but I am also very professional. I have a home photography studio in Brantford. If you really like my work, I encourage you to book a shoot. My rates are very reasonable. I rarely shoot TF, but I will book TF on occasion, only if it will really add value to my portfolio. I am rarely on Model Mayhem, so please contact me from my website to ensure that I get your message.

If you shoot with me:
I love to have fun during a shoot, but I also take this seriously as this is my full time career. I do not allow anyone to edit my images without my consent, and I choose the images from the shoot. You will receive these images digitally. There is a contract that must be signed before any shoot with a model release, etc.. As a makeup artist, these services are not free unless I am the one that approaches a model about a shoot. There are a lot of costs and work involved in TF shoots, and although I do shoot TF once in a while, I have to make sure that my business comes first and that it will add value to my portfolio.

I encourage anyone interested in working with me to contact those I have worked with in the past. I can ensure you I am professional, organized, reliable and friendly.
