Your Session Is An Investment

Let's be honest. Waking up early on a weekend for a photo shoot or keeping the kids up past their bedtime for a sunset session might not sound like your idea of a GREAT time. Unless you are working with ME! My goal is make your session fun and relaxing. If you are looking for a stressful session, full of poses and fake smiles, I am NOT the photographer that you want to hire! I will make sure that you are set up to have a successful session no matter how tired your kids are or how cranky your husband might be. I promise, it will be FUN! 

I always pack my camera bag with TONS of stickers and toys for your kids as a way of rewarding (aka bribing) them for giving those sweet smiles that all of us will be hoping for. I will learn all about your husband's favorite football team because I will ask him which one he likes best. Grandma will be sending a batch of cookies to my house afterwards if I have won her over with my charming personality. Lastly, you and I will find a date and time to go get coffee, mimosas or simply go shopping at Target (or a plant store) as a reward for us getting those perfect images you have always wanted for the walls of your home.

Your photo shoot shouldn't be overwhelming, scary, frustrating, etc. It should be enjoyable and pain free! I will become part of the family by the end of the session. And in just a few short days following, you will be sent a gallery FULL of photos of your amazing family. Don't forget to send me a holiday card with your favorite images!

Types of Sessions that I do not Shoot:

Your Personalized Gallery

No need to pick, choose and purchase your images separately! Sessions are all inclusive and include high resolution digital files, a print release and a personalized, online gallery to print and share from. This means that you can download the images from your gallery, print them however you wish and at whatever size your heart desires as well as share your gallery with your loved ones for them to do the same! All galleries include an online store at your fingertips making printing easier than ever!

Oh..and...I always over deliver...SURPRISE!

Once you have completed your booking form and submitted your non-refundable retainer, I will email you to discuss next steps! We will discuss a date, time and location that would work best for you and your family. Speaking of locations, check out our favorite locations and sessions that have been hosted there!

Picking a Date & Time

All sessions are held in the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday to accommodate best lighting conditions. During the Summer, evening sunset sessions are offered on Sundays.

If you are booking an Orchard package, we will work with you to find the best date and time for your extended family session. All other sessions (excluding newborns) are booked one month in advance. This means that if you would like a session in March, I will reach out in February to find a date and time that works for you and your family! Sessions are held in the mornings to accommodate the best lighting conditions. During Summer months, a limited number of spots will be available for sunset session (woot woot)!

Newborn sessions are hosted within the first 14 days of birth. These time sensitive sessions take place on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays in the mornings at Nic White Photography's in home studio. 

Location

All sessions (excluding mini and newborn sessions) include 40 miles of round trip travel from Estacada, OR. Looking to shoot at a location that is a little ways away? Not a problem! Each additional mile outside of the 40 that are included is .58 per mile. We are always excited to shoot on new properties so long as proper permissions are obtain by the client and travel fees are paid for!

Newborn sessions are hosted at Nic White Photography studios in Estacada, OR.

Covid 19 Guidelines & Studio Restrictions for Newborn & Sitter Sessions

This is a big bummer to have to do but your family’s safety and the safety of all of my clients  is my number one priority. In order to maintain a safe studio space, the following guidelines will be in place and are mandatory in order to host your session. I now strictly enforce these guidelines to maintain a safe working space. Please be prepared to adhere to these so that we can continue to safely host newborn sessions in our studio space:

• No outside props allowed in the studio at this time.
• All shoes are to be removed upon entering the studio.
• All family members will be asked to wash their hands (or sanitize their hands) BEFORE entering the studio.
• The studio is very, very small. I ask that parents enjoy watching their session from the sitting area just outside the studio in order to maintain social distancing as much as possible.
• Siblings and additional family members are to exit the studio once their portion is done. No additional guests/onlookers allowed at this time.
• Non-medical grade gloves will be worn while working with your newborn. A mask will also be worn.
• Masks will be available to family members should they wish to wear one. You are more than welcome to bring your own if you would like.
• If you or your family have been ill in the past 14 days, please notify me immediately. We will reschedule your session to the next available spot (no rescheduling fee required). Should you or your family display any signs of illness at the time of your session, the session will end immediately and a rescheduling fee will need to be paid.

Covid is such a big bummer but I pinky promise to keep your family as safe as possible and still provide you with beautiful images of your newest family member! YAY!
