Memories to Last
View more work →
Family vacations, engagements, and special milestones deserve to be documented with the same care, expertise, and artistic vision I bring to wedding photography. With over two decades of experience photographing families, couples, and events throughout The Bahamas, I create portrait collections that capture both the beautiful connections between loved ones and the stunning island backdrops that make The Bahamas so special. My relaxed, personable approach ensures a fun, stress-free experience that results in natural, joyful images your family will treasure for generations.
Authentic Moments, Beautifully Preserved
Welcome to Mario Nixon portrait Photography
I understand that vacation time is precious. For families visiting The Bahamas, I offer expedited delivery options to ensure you receive your images before departing our beautiful islands.
Quick Turnaround
From casual beach portraits to more polished, elegant family images, I adapt to your preferred style while maintaining my signature clean, vibrant aesthetic. Prior to your session, we'll discuss clothing recommendations, timing, and location options to ensure your portraits align perfectly with your vision.
Versatile Styling Options
With extensive experience throughout The Bahamas, I can recommend the perfect locations that align with your vision while avoiding tourist crowds. Whether you're seeking pristine beaches, lush tropical settings, or architectural backdrops, I'll guide you to picturesque spots that showcase both your family and our stunning island scenery.
Stunning Natural Locations
From bright beaches to shaded gardens and resort interiors, my technical background ensures exceptional image quality in any environment. This versatility means we can confidently plan your session in multiple locations, knowing each image will maintain the same high standard regardless of lighting conditions.
Technical Expertise for Any Setting
My portrait sessions are designed to be enjoyable and stress-free. I use a light-handed approach with relaxed posing, creating an atmosphere where genuine interactions and expressions naturally emerge. This type of environment is especially effective for families with children, resulting in authentic images rather than stiff, forced smiles.
Relaxed, Fun Experience
Lynford Cay Club
– Janice G
"We took formal family pictures before the event and candid shots the rest of the evening. It was a large celebration of 138 people. When we received the photos, Mario was everywhere and [we have] great photos to show for it!"
"Mario was fantastic for our family/friend's birthday celebration"

Atlantis Paradise Island Family Session
– Rhonda
"Mario took our family pictures when we were visiting the Atlantis from Pennsylvania. The pictures he took were perfect! I printed many of them and still have them hanging on walls and in frames. Sadly, the flash drive I saved all of the pictures on was thrown away. On a whim, I emailed Mario and asked if he still had access to them. Without hesitation, he emailed me right back and said it was no problem at all and that he keeps a backup in his archive. Within minutes he sent me all of the priceless pictures that I thought were gone forever. He is not only a fantastic photographer, he is a fantastic person."
"He is not only a fantastic photographer,
he is a fantastic person."
