Testimonials

“Excuse the shouty-ness but I ADORE ALL of your photographs and have not had an easy time choosing which ones to select for the final edit. I want them all! What a pickle!

Everything from the lighting, the composition, the mood, the styling, the energy... is so crisp and delicious! And I particularly love how you've captured the element of playfulness.

You are so gosh darn wonderfully talented, Nikki Malvar. I may just shout that from the rooftops.”

“Nikki is amazing! I was so so happy with the entire process - from the planning, the shoot and then such a quick turn around after.

Nikki invested time in understanding my brand and finding out exactly what I was after - and because of this the photos turned out perfectly.

I will definitely be booking in another shoot in the future!”

Sydney Melbourne Photographer_Heist Creative_Testimonial_Cherie Clonan The Digital Picnic.png

“"As digital marketers who know how much social media loves video, & how much the social media algorithms love video? It was a no-brainer for us to invest in Nikki’s videography.

What we weren’t expecting was to be as blown away by her magic as we were?! We’re social media nerds, so not the most comfortable in front of camera, but she just did her thing, completely unobtrusively, and allowed us to do our thing [without feeling like we were being watched], and what resulted? A beautiful piece of video that feels as natural as our workshops feel, and really celebrates us for who we are.

We couldn’t recommend her artistry any more highly.”

“Nikki at Heist Creative is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with! Not only did she produce a fabulous promotional video for us, she also took some amazing still images which we have been able to use across various marketing platforms.

What really stood out for us was that Nikki took the time to thoroughly understand our business, and the resulting images and video reflect the care and skill that she has put into her work. It is clear she has a passion for capturing beautiful images as well as a real love for working with people.

“Nikki was really great to work with.

Very professional and incredibly warm (a god-send when you don’t feel like a natural in front of the camera). She really understood what I was looking to achieve with the shots and the final images were high quality, vibrant and fun.

First impressions count online and Nikki’s photography really captured the essence of our brand. I will definitely look to work with her again – no doubt the *BEST* investment in my business to-date.”

“If you’re looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Nikki.

I couldn’t be happier with the photos, and her service was prompt and tailored to my needs. The photo shoot was a breeze (particularly for a group of people who are usually quite camera shy). I originally came for just business headshots, but left with many more pics from the shoot.

Thanks for your quality work Nikki, I am so impressed and will be recommending you wherever I can!”

The photos I received are just perfect. Nikki has brought out the exact look I wanted for mu business, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Not even lying when I say that Heist Creative has been the best investment I’ve made in my business to date! Nikki is one in a million!”

“Nikki was simply amazing to work with and made the whole experience super comfortable.

I am not a natural in front of the camera and it's not somewhere that I like to normally hang out, but Nikki turned the shoot into a relaxed and fun hour with amazing outcomes. I now have brand shots that I am super happy with and will be sure to work with Nikki again.

Nikki captures my personality and brand spot on! Highly recommend!”

"Nikki is always a joy to work with.

Not only were we in fits of laughter throughout the usually cringeworthy headshot shoot, I was astounded to be unable to choose. I loved so many of the concepts Nikki created that I ended up needing way more shots from the day. They are an asset to my business, as great content continues to become more important.

Nikki is your girl for beautiful cringe-free photoshoots, I LOVE her style!"

"I've always been one to feel extremely shy in front of the camera but Nikki had us completely at ease, laughing and having fun in the process. Looking back now I am completely thrilled we decided to go for the maternity session as I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, and the special moment in time they captured for us. We'll be able to share these photos with our little man in the future and I'm so thankful to Nikki for the opportunity.

If you are in need of any lifestyle pics I can't recommend Nikki enough, she's top of her game and soooo fun to work with - I promise she'll have you laughing the entire time!"

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nikki. She was refreshingly enthusiastic about taking some photos to go with my music. I was thrilled that she had very similar ideas when she heard my song.

Not usually being great friends with a camera, Nikki made me feel so comfortable, and guided me into pushing my boundaries a bit. I was so happy and surprised with the amount of photos we got out of our session. I can't stop raving about her to fellow music friends and I can't wait to work with her again!"
