Naikoon Headshots by Mariel Nelms: Help me get to know you!

Hello! My name is Mariel, and I will be photographing you next month to create a new set of headshots to be used by Naikoon in the upcoming company rebrand!

My goal is to create a set of professional and timeless portraits of you, which will be used throughout Naikoon’s marketing, whether on a new project proposal or the Meet the Team page on the Naikoon website, or beyond!

Help me to capture the real you and create a set of authentic and sleek headshots that you’ll actually like, by answering these quick questions to help me get to know you better prior to our shoot!

The shoot itself will be 20 minutes long, and will be casual, fun, and a comfortable experience (I promise)! Having my own photo taken is not my fav activity, so I’ve developed a method to create authentic images of people in a way that is a quick, painless, and feels as natural as possible.

I can’t wait to meet you!

P.S. So this is fair, here’s 5 quick facts about me to help you get to know me better before our shoot:

  1. I have won both a pie baking contest and a pie EATING contest, and this is probably one of my greatest accomplishments in life.

  2. I have 2 kids, Ruby (5) and Jude (2), and a 9 year old red heeler dog named Mowdy.

  3. I am also a proud worm-mama. I started composting with red wiggler worms in the Spring of 2022 to create my own compost for my veggie garden, and quickly became obsessed with how incredible these little creatures are! If you want some worms, I’ve got PLENTY to share…

  4. I left my office job in 2017 to pursue self employment/photography full time.

  5. I have dreams of building an off-grid, modern cob cottage on the coast at some point in my life!

Okay, now it’s time to learn about you!
