Inspired Hearts Photography

The website Our Inspired Hearts was born of my first love, the photography business I created when I was 15: Inspired Hearts Photography. Although my first photoshoots happened on my mom’s point and shoot camera, I saved enough money from photography to purchase my own DSLR camera while still in high school. I studied journalism in college, which included visual design work, and have had the opportunity to photograph amazing people, families, and fantastic events.

I have photographed astronauts who walked on the moon and soared through space, as well as beautiful brides and nervous grooms on the biggest day of their lives. But even in the seemingly small moments, capturing little ones as they grow, families as they walk through life, and couples as they fall deeper in love each day — my heart is inspired by the people I work with and the stories my camera gets to tell.

What we do

I specialize in natural light portraits of all types: couples, seniors/professionals, and families.

You won’t find me showing up with a truckload of light boxes, reflectors, or a box full of external flashes. Natural light is my jam, and I love capturing real, raw moments with just us and the camera (although occasional lighting support can be utilized in some situations). As a photographer, I value clean composition and colors that evoke nostalgia and reflection.

Although I have photographed many weddings and events, I no longer book these regularly — but that doesn’t mean I won’t. If you have interest in booking me for your wedding or event, please contact me to talk!

Hello, friend!

Nikki Shover

Nikki Shover

A notorious hairbrush singer and occasional worship leader, self-proclaimed Harry Potter nerd, and aspiring author, I am also a former pastor but ever-present shepherd who spends the perfect amount of time snuggling with my dog and husband. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Bible/religion and journalism and am daily striving to decipher what it means to live abundantly in this place we call home. My heart flutters for deep conversations, One Direction jam sessions, and people who don't judge my love of children's books or 80s/90s sitcoms.

As a pastor, much of my job is about relationships As a pastor, much of my job is about relationships. But sometimes, my job is about reclaiming sacred spaces that time has taken from us. Recently I got to reclaim this beautiful stained glass window that had been hidden behind a projector screen for years. Now when I enter this space, I am urged to stop. To take in the light. To breathe in the renewal of the cross. Although pastoring is a kind of difficult that cannot be put into words, it is also an incredible gift to spend so much time in the sacred — so much time alongside the light of the world. It’s beautiful when that manifests in the present, right beside us, as a reminder that God is with us, and God is within us, too.

Book 4 of ‘22 — this is my second read by Fredrik Book 4 of ‘22 — this is my second read by Fredrik Backman (see previous post), and I have to say: I LOVED THIS BOOK! Although I really enjoyed the first book I read of his, Ove and his community won my heart so much faster than the previous read. The book started much darker than I anticipated, but I caught on quickly that things were headed in a lighter direction. It was a witty, charming perspective on heavy topics: grief, depression, and suicide. But I am so thankful to say that community wins in this one. So thankful for the character growth and the laughs that Ove and his unexpected crew gave to me. 5⭐️ for “A Man Called Ove” — I will probably even read this book again, and that’s saying something!

Book 3 of 2022 | A beloved college professor of mi Book 3 of 2022 | A beloved college professor of mine recommended this and another of Fredrik Backman’s books to me, and I chose this one first because, *ahem,* I liked the cover. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 Elsa was a precious character, full of innocence and trouble all at once. My favorite element of the story was the wurse (what us common folk would call a dog). Although I struggled to follow the narrative at times and the finale didn’t seem “big enough” for Granny’s fairytales, I did cry while reading this and finished it relatively quickly. I just purchased my next Backman read, and I’m curious to see how the two compare! 4⭐️ for “My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry.”

After years with a simple black and white logo I c After years with a simple black and white logo I created on Photoshop in college, I finally rebranded my website with something more representative of my mission and purpose!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My husband and I are mildly (majorly?) into Disney-Pixar’s “Up.” We named our first dog Ellie and our wedding included several thoughtful, fancied-up elements from the film. Our mailbox even features our handprints and names in the style of Ellie and Carl. This is where the balloons come into play in my logo. 🎈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The heart shape is pretty self-explanatory, given my name. 💖 Finally, the bright colors and watercolor style speak to the vibrant, abundant, creative life I have been called to live and lead others to as well. 💚🧡💜💙❤️
