An experience worth documenting
with the ones you love the most.
 
Dear Mom,
 
I see you...Whether you're staying at home with your little ones or hustling hard at work. Your priority is your family and being the best you can be for them. You have noticed lately that they're growing right before your eyes, right? I get it.
I see you reaching for your phone as soon as a sweet moment arises in hopes to catch it before it's gone. Tell me this - when is the last time YOU were in the frame? When is the last time you updated those family portraits or have you not yet invested in those memories of yours?
Whether you are new to family photos or you update them annually, I am so glad you've landed on this page because like you, I am a mama and nothing means more to me than my family and documenting them as they grow (and boy do they grow fast) has become a priority of mine.
My mission as your family photographer is to provide images for you to cherish for a lifetime. Not posey posey images. I'm talkin' REAL life images. I want so much more for you than "one good photo!" I am here to tell your story. If this speaks to your soul, let's get to planning!
 
love, nickole

FAQ
What types of photography services do you offer?
How do I book a photography session with you?
How do we pick the location?
I got you covered! Scouting is a part of the NDP experience (so much goes on BTS before your session even takes place) and your selected location will not disappoint. I have a variety of spots to choose from based on the forecast and the outfits you have chosen - yes, that makes a difference.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Portrait sessions typically range from 1 to 2 hours. We strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the is acting a little crazy on our shoot day?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss rescheduling the session. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and we're flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
How many people are included in the session?
We charge by the customization of your session. A session for 2 will be less in price than a session for 6. The price you see is the starting price and includes one person. Each additional person is $25.
What happens if my children act out and we don't get any good images?
This is the most common fear for many parents before a family session and I am here to put you at ease. Not all sessions are a cake walk and that is okay. Kids can be unpredictable and I am aware of this. I take pride in the connection and relationship I am able to build with little ones, so quickly. No possible fear should hold you back from this precious keepsake. I also include detailed tips and tricks for ways to prepare your children before your family session. This comes with your Session Prep Guide once your deposit is paid.
Do we have to order prints through you?
You don't have to but highly encourage you to due to the quality difference in professional prints vs. chain prints. We have a sample if you'd like to see! Nothing compares to a professional quality print or canvas hanging on your wall...Nothing!
If you want to print images yourself, you can purchase the print release for an additional $200.
Are there digital images included?
yes!
