Nikki Cee never imagined she’d become a photographer. Now, the 33-year-old sensation is the talk of the internet thanks to herelaborate newborn photoshoots.

“Seeing my vision come to life and seeing the parents get excited for the final product, that’s literally the best thing. Cuddling with the babies too, of course! But seeing it all come to life is the best part [of every photo shoot],” Cee tells PEOPLE.

“When I tell parents the idea I have, they’re very trusting,” she adds. “Once I send [the finished photos] to them they’re just as elated as my followers online! They’re just through-the-roof excited.”

Cee tells PEOPLE that she took up photography while embracing her creative side “on a whim” six years ago.

Although she specializes in newborn shoots, Cee does all types of photography, except sporting events and weddings. She has done more than 100 newborn shoots and calls all the little ones her babies.

Cee admits she initially didn’t like doing newborn photography because the “babies didn’t cooperate,” but that quickly changed as she became more experienced and let her creative flag fly.

“In six years I never expected to have my own studio and have all these followers,” Cee says. “It’s the most amazing thing that could have happened to me. To be here is honestly surreal. When I pull up to my studio and I come in, I have people that are excited to work with me. It makes it worth it that I’m affecting so many people.”
