Our photography style is simple – we capture portraits in a timeless style on location in natural light. We focus on capturing the relationships between our subjects while having FUN! We believe in letting kids be kids and families be themselves! Let’s capture all those moments that you will cherish forever .
You offer two different sessions, can you explain?
Signature Sessions are photographed in a location of your choice and are generally 1-2 hours . (Travel rates outside of Connecticut may apply.) This session is great for young kids, large families, outfit changes, snack breaks or just to have fun with no pressure. We will work with each client before the session with clothing, location options or any questions. Two weeks after the session we will meet with you in our at home studio to view 40 hand crafted images. At this ordering appointment we will help you choose the right wall art and prints for your home. The Signature Session fee is $250.00 and does not include prints, products or files.

What is the process of the session and ordering?
After your Signature Session it generally takes two weeks for your hand crafted images to appear in an online preview gallery for three days prior to your ordering meeting. At the ordering meeting we will help you select prints and products that are perfect for your home. You will place your order at this meeting so all decision making people are suggested to join. Once you place your order all products take 4-6 weeks for delivery. Digital files without any retouching are delivered to you within 48 hours. All digital files that are retouched may take up to seven days.
Are digital files included with the session fee?
For most of our sessions, the session fee includes Nikki Nicole’s time and the creation of your handcrafted images. Prints, products and digital files are purchased separately. This allows you to purchase exactly what fits your needs.
Can we include our dog?
Absolutely!! I am an owner of two rescue dogs Jax and Peaches .. they are my children! I welcome your four legged family member to join us on your session. I do always recommend bringing a friend or extra family member to help handle the dog and be in charge of treats!
What if it rains or someone gets sick?
You have put alot of thought into your portrait session and I want your images to be perfect! If we have an outdoor session planned and the weather looks uncooperative, I will contact you to coordinate another date. If your child or family member is not feeling so well, it is best to reschedule.
