Since the dawn of his photography business in 2008, Ryan Southen has traveled the world pursuing his passion: capturing people and environments. In particular, Ryan draws viewers into moments of easy intimacy in his portraits, and introduces his audience to lesser-known artistic feats in Detroit, MI and far beyond. Ryan cares deeply about forming lasting relationships with his clients, which translates into creative shoots, painstaking editing, and striking finished products -- whether for your special day or your next ad campaign. In addition to shooting weddings, Ryan has delivered high-quality commercial images for large businesses, foundations, and architecture firms throughout the Midwest. Despite becoming an award-winning photographer (The Knot 'Best of' Hall of Fame), Ryan wants you to know that he's a true Midwesterner (read: friendly and approachable). He looks forward to collaborating with clients on projects to ensure they leave not only with a visual story that exceeds the industry standard, but also with a positive experience from Ryan Southen Photography.

Hi! My name is Nicolette and I’m a freelance photographer and journalist in Pittsburgh, PA. Last year I was Vice President of and co-ran an online magazine in Pittsburgh called Moxie, which featured small businesses, under-the-radar artists, events and entrepreneurs all in or from the Pittsburgh area. It ran only a year but garnered a lot of attention and appreciation amongst the community. My roles included administrative and management, but also writing articles and taking many of the photos seen on the website. I’ve been taking photos since the age of 15, and within the last 5 years have really focused on expanding my portfolio and freelancing for special events, portrait sessions, weddings, and personal art projects. All work can be seen on my Instagram @npaigex.
