Hey there websurfer!
I'm Mia Quain, The Nikon Kidd! I'm a travelling Port Townsend and Seattle-based wedding and adventure photographer with a love for everything dark, moody, candid, and cinematic. I love storytelling through photos and have more than a decade of experience roaming the country, looking for stories to tell.
I built my career while hitchhiking and trainhopping across the US with a mandolin, my doggie Ese, and a Nikon D3300. I started out taking photos for myself and interviewing the folks I met along the way. I wanted a way to remember my trips for the rest of my life.
Pretty soon I realized that it's more fun to take photos with others! A photograph is a memory and something to cherish forever. I love sharing those memories with the people I meet.
And more than anything, I love helping people hold onto those memories forever.
Kind Words from Lovely Folks
"I fell in love with her photos"
It was very in the moment photography, raw engagement sessions and weddings, it was really beautiful. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend for our anniversary with a photoshoot and Mia was so great and suggested places to me, it made the experience THAT much better. The photoshoot was great, we had such a blast and Mia made us feel so comfortable. We can't wait to shoot with her again!
"These are absolutely beautiful!"
Oh my goodness, they're beautiful and I love them so much!!!! Thank you for everything!!!
"I want to make sure I spread the word on your wonderful photography"
Thanks ever so much for the photos. They are exactly what we'd hoped for! Appreciate the little details and moments you captured, not just of us, but our loved ones as well.
