What to Expect
Schedule a session
The day you’ve been waiting for! Your album and wall art are ready to enjoy, typically 4-6 weeks after your ordering appointment.
Order Delivery
This is everyone’s favorite part of the experience! We’ll get together in your home or over Zoom, and you’ll view your portraits for the very first time. We’ll select your favorites and decide how you’d like to enjoy them as artwork and albums at home. You’ll place your order at this meeting.
Viewing & Ordering Appointment
Come ready to have some fun! My goal is to capture the love, connection, and unique personalities of your family, with plenty of genuine smiles & laughter shining through. Whether it’s a hesitant dad or a restless toddler, I have plenty of tricks to keep everyone engaged and create portraits that you will adore.
Session Day
Before your session, we’ll plan out every bit of your experience together. From wardrobe to location, I’ve got you covered, and I promise to make this as easy and stress-free as possible.
Portrait Planning Call
Ever since meeting Nicole, my home has been decorated with beautifully printed artwork. Nicole even visited my home to help me make decisions about where artwork would look best. This personal home visit is just one of the MANY ways she goes above and beyond as a family photographer.
- Lyndsey M., client since 2018
Nicole has thought of everything when it comes to capturing your family's images. She includes tips before your arrival, lends you the clothing you need from her onsite wardrobe, and captures images of your little ones that you would not think possible. Nicole also guides you through selecting your images and purchasing products with the eye of a skilled artist.
- Katie T., 2019, 2022 & 2024 Collective Member
We had the best newborn photo shoot experience with Nicole. From beginning to end she made us feel very comfortable and at ease. As a new mom it was hard to predict how our son was going to be during the session. Nicole was not only able to keep him calm but us too! She is a true professional. Our pictures came out immaculate and we couldn’t have had an easier time with it all.”

Wardrobe choices can truly make a huge difference in your finished portraits, which is why I’ve spent years carefully curating our Baby Wardrobe.
It is filled with soft neutrals, delicate details, and gorgeous fabrics and textures that look amazing on camera. From tiny handmade newborn outfits to sizes for sitters and birthday babies, and even neutral options for toddlers & siblings.
Before you go shopping, look here first. Mark your favorites, and we’ll have them ready for your little one’s session!

Effortless Experience
Timeless Photography
Preserve your family’s most cherished moments with timeless pieces designed for your home and future generations.

At this stage, you are the keeper of your child’s story, their home for childhood memories. There’s no better way to preserve these moments than within the pages of a beautifully crafted album.
Our heirloom albums feature thick, bend-proof pages and timeless covers built to endure years of love (and sticky fingers!). Begin with a newborn album and build a collection that tells your family’s story, one volume at a time.
Heirloom Albums
The most treasured artwork in any home showcases the people that you love the most in this world. Nothing will bring you more joy than seeing your family’s smiles adorning your walls.
I’ll share custom designed gallery walls with you to help you bring your vision to life, including artwork options that will work beautifully in your current space and in a future home as well. Our Collective Members love being able to plan out a wall at the beginning of our time together and add to it as the year goes on to feature all of their favorite family memories.
Wall Galleries & Statement Wall Portraits
Families love the versatility of our handcrafted, linen collection boxes filled with their favorite prints matted to 11x14”.
Create a gallery wall by hanging your favorite 6-12 portraits together on a larger wall, display one or two portraits on a narrow wall or bookshelf, or gift a framed matted portrait to a grandparent. Rotate your portraits throughout the year or as your children grow, and keep the extras in the archival preservation box.
Collection Boxes
We provide a seamless portrait experience filled with laughter and love, and we’ll turn your favorite memories into artwork and albums that will be treasured for generations. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand with museum-grade materials, guaranteeing that your portraits will look just as stunning decades from now as they do today.
Our Promise to you
Step inside our cozy, light-filled studio—a space designed with busy parents and growing families in mind. From the moment you arrive, you can settle in with a warm mug of coffee (or chai!) and breathe easy. I’ve taken care of every detail so you can simply enjoy the experience.
Every corner of our residential studio has been thoughtfully curated to create a stress-free, welcoming environment for you and your little ones. More than just a beautiful space for portraits, it’s a place where we take things off your to-do list—so you can focus on what matters most.
The Studio
Dozens of wraps, headbands, and layers to add color & texture to your baby’s portraits.
Beautifully crafted baskets, beds, and bowls in natural materials to enhance your baby’s session.
Size-inclusive dresses for moms at every stage of motherhood, plus handmade and boutique outfits for newborn, milestone, and birthday sessions.
Toys and snacks to keep toddlers (and their parents!) happy during the session.
Gorgeous album and artwork samples for you to start envisioning your own family’s printed legacy.
