My Journey

My journey with photography began with a deep case of wanderlust—a love for winding roads, wild places, and the quiet beauty of nature. I was captivated by misty mountains, sunlit fields, and the tiny details most people rush past.

As I traveled and explored, my lens followed the landscapes… until one day, it started following people. I found joy in capturing families in their natural rhythm, children in all their beautiful chaos, and everyday life in all its honest, fleeting magic. In 2020, my heart landed squarely in the world of boudoir—where confidence, vulnerability, and power meet in the most beautiful ways.

By 2025, my creative vision had grown into something bigger. I launched two distinct brands: My Darling Boudoir KC, dedicated to empowering, sensual, confidence-filled portraits, and My Darling Photo KC, focused on lifestyle, families, and storytelling through connection. At the same time, I decided to nurture the original spark that started it all—my love for the natural world—through N. Waggerman Photo, where I continue to capture travel, nature, and global imagery that feeds my soul.

That same year, I felt the magnetic pull toward cosplay—an art form full of imagination, transformation, and bold creativity. Now, my camera follows both the real and the magical. From wild landscapes to wild hearts, I photograph it all with curiosity, love, and a deep appreciation for every story.
