best family photography Maine, family photographer near me

Being a mom of three I can completely relate to how overwhelming preparing for a portrait session can be, trust me, I’ve been in your shoes many times. This is why I’ve created an experience tailored towards clients that appreciate less stress, quality portraits, classic over trendy and guidance from start to finish.

Mom leaving the session feeling at peace because she knows not matter how it seemed she trusts everything went perfectly. Dad actually wants to come back because the experience was way better than he envisioned. Children asking when is the next session before the first one is over. Does this sound like your vision? Mine too. I hope so because this is just scratching the surface.

FAQ

When is the best time to have my baby photographed?

For newborns within the first two weeks of life (ideally between days 6-10). This timeframe reflects the images seen in my portfolio.

For older babies, the best time is when your little one is sitting up unassisted between six to eight months of age.

How soon should I book a session?

Sessions should be booked 2-3 months in advance. I take a limited amount of sessions per month to provide the best experience and attention to detail for my clients. If you’re just now seeing this information and you’re late to the party still reach out as I may have a last minute opening.

What do I wear?

Once your session is booked all clients are provided guidance on what to wear. Included in studio and maternity sessions are a client wardrobe that you have full access to. No stressing about what photographs well, returning outfits that didn’t fit or spending extra money on something you likely won’t wear in the future. If you prefer to wear something you already own that is totally up to you! It’s just an added perk to the experience that clients love.

What are you prices?

A $200 retainer fee paid at booking is required to secure your session date/due date. All sessions include digital files and a complimentary product credit which can be used towards an album or prints. Clients typically spend between $900-$2000 depending on what they purchase.

newborn & MATERNITY

I recently had the most incredible maternity and newborn photography sessions with Nikki! From start to finish, it was an absolute delight.

Nikki has an extraordinary talent for capturing the beauty of motherhood and the innocence of newborns. Her creativity and attention to detail were evident in every single shot, resulting in breathtaking and heartfelt photographs that exceeded my expectations! She made me feel so comfortable during the maternity shoot, and her ability to create a relaxed atmosphere brought out my natural joy and excitement. When it came to the newborn session, her gentle touch and expertise in handling infants were remarkable. She captured the most precious and adorable moments, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

BABY MILESTONE

I cannot express enough how wonderful it was working with Nikki for our family photos. I had searched very specifically for some time for a photographer of her caliber, and was beyond pleased with our experience.

Her style is very natural and timeless, and she has impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking for heirloom photos that can be passed down generation by generation, there is no one I could more strongly recommend than Nikki. I shared my vision with Nikki prior to and during our photo session, and she advised me on outfit choices that best complement her style of photography, which was incredibly helpful. She also helped us sort through multiple clothing options during the day of the session and gave a lot of thought to how our choices would translate in the images themselves. Nikki is truly an artist, and captured the essence of our family perfectly. She delivered on all of her promises and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that will produce high quality images that will be cherished for years to come.

NEWBORN

I cannot say enough great things about Nikki! We recently had a photo session with our 8 day old baby boy and were blown away by our gallery. These are photos you only have one shot in capturing, who you hire matters! Her style captures the natural timeless beauty of a newborn and family. She books 4 hour sessions and you may be thinking that is too much time and after our session, I can assure you that it is the perfect amount of time. I don’t now how you can capture newborn photos in less than 90 minutes. It gives you time to feed and sooth a fussy baby and Nikki thoughtfully and perfectly captures each photo. She captures it all so you don’t have to think about what was missed. And she is so good with babies. She was able to keep our baby calm and pose him in each and every photo.

Also as a new mother and 8 days postpartum (and a baby that came 17 days early), what to wear was definitely a struggle for me. Nikki took the time to not only help me before hand but I brought a handful of ideas the day of our shoot and she was able to help me narrow down which one was the one (and help with what my husband should wear also) and made me feel comfortable and beautiful.
