In 1869, Baldwin moved to Lawrence, Kansas, and operated a business there for several years. By 1873 he moved to Wichita, then a small town of just over 2000 people, and opened a gallery.

Nereus Baldwin was one of the first photographers to work in Wichita. His photographic gallery was located for many years above 118 East Douglas. He photographed scenes of early Wichita, its townspeople, and of notable events. He also took stereoscopic photographs of street scenes.

In the mid-1870s Baldwin opened a portion of his studio to the Wichita Public Library for offices and a library. A small collection of books was kept in the reception room of the photograph gallery, upstairs in the New York Store building. In July 1877, the circulating library moved from Baldwin's studio to the front basement room of the First National Bank Building.

Baldwin's oldest son was William F. (Fred) Baldwin, another early Wichita photographer. Baldwin was in business with his son from 1886 until the time of his death. The photographic gallery called N. Baldwin & Son continued to be located at 118 East Douglas. In 1904, the local paper reports that Nereus Baldwin, along with his son Fred, had taken over 150,000 pictures since opening the gallery in 1873, with about 50,000 negatives of these images kept.
