Today we’d like to introduce you to Savannah Nix.
Hi Savannah, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have always loved taking photos. When I was 12, I used to run around with my friends after church on Sunday and take their photos using my cheap, shiny red digital camera, using free online editing software to heavily contrast and over saturate my photos. I was so proud of those pictures, and it was so much fun.
Fast forward to 2021. I was fresh out of nursing school, working full-time as an RN, but still running around taking photos for my friends. This time, in Kansas City and with a real camera. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I felt very fulfilled behind the lens, that I loved capturing people in their best light, and that maybe I actually had a knack for it after all.
In 2022, my closest friend had her first baby, and I offered to take her maternity photos. After that shoot, I decided that I wanted to actually try my hand at photography and reached out to almost everyone I knew to ask if I could take their photos. It was challenging but rewarding to learn how to use my camera well, learn my shooting style, my editing style- it was a learning curve that I faced head on, determined to give it my best effort.
Since then, I’ve only continued to grow. I continued to take photos for my coworkers and friends, meeting new clients along the way. And I just kept loving it more and more. Savannah Nix Photography, LLC was officially born in January of 2025, after a very busy and successful 2024 fall season.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I can’t say it’s been the smoothest of roads. Starting up a small business comes with investments of both time and money, which can be uncomfortable when you don’t feel like you know what you’re doing. Learning how to market myself has been a hurdle for me. There are times when client traffic is practically nonexistent, where I try and get my name out there and it proves fruitless. It can be discouraging to be filled with a passion and excitement for what you’re doing but no one else seems to care or want to see it. But it makes times where my schedule is full that much sweeter. Of course there’s always the occasional mishap during a photoshoot, too, like coming home and realizing you accidentally shot all of your photos in JPG instead of RAW. That is one mistake you only make once!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As far as what sets me apart from other photographers, what makes me proud to do what I do, is the particular mission of mine to be a blessing to my clients. I want to love them, respect them, make them feel seen and comfortable while spreading joy and the love of Christ with them. If I haven’t made my clients laugh or smile when the camera isn’t on or pointed at them, I’ve failed. People shine when they know you care. I hope this is what I’m known for to those I’ve worked with.
I have a heart for photographing families and their milestones: maternity, newborn, graduations, engagements, weddings. It is my goal in 2025 to grow my wedding portfolio, and I’ve got a particular itch to capture an elopement! Additionally, I love a good creative element when it comes to my sessions. You want to put on a fancy dress and play in the snow? I’m there. Whimsical outfit while playing in the water? Count me in. Props? Backdrops? Let’s do it!
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
When I’m not working on photography or working at the hospital, you can find me volunteering at church, thrifting, reading, creating in other ways, or at the very least day dreaming about my next photoshoot. I want to hear your visions and help them come to life, whether it’s a simple family gathering or an elaborate engagement. There are endless possibilities, and I’m ready to explore them with you.
