The Session Experience
Before Your Session:
Here’s What to Expect:
• Nicole does take a limited number of newborn sessions monthly. Because of this it is crucial to reserve
your spot as early as three months prior to your approximate delivery date. That gives us enough time
fully customize a newborn session just for you!
• Maternity sessions are best held between 32-34 weeks
• Complete the contract online and pay your session fee and $200 print or product minimum.
• Planning tips, session questionnaire, and studio information will be emailed prior to your session.
• NCP’s styling service information will be emailed to you approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your due date.
This easy to use tool is extremely helpful for pairing up photographer-approved outfits, accessories,
shoes, etc. prior to the session.
During Your Session:
• Arrive at the studio promptly at your agreed upon session start time.
• You won’t need to worry about buying props, we take care of all of that and have ideas already dreamed
up for your session before you arrive.
• Yes, parents are always highly encouraged to get in the photos with your baby at your newborn session.
Trust us, you won’t regret it. You can never have enough photos with your precious new baby!
• Try and RELAX! It’s the genuine interactions and raw emotions that create the timeless unposed
photographs. Let’s focus on moments, not poses.
After Your Session:
• Within 30 days after your session date, your online gallery will be ready for viewing. Any balance due on
your package will be due at this time.
The NCP Studio
Our pristine, all white studio is
crafted to provide a stunning
classic setting to capture your
moments. The studio is filled
with beautiful, big windows
that let in gorgeous light. The
soft white interior gives the
studio space an airy and
tranquil feel. The NCP style of
photography includes a blend of
documentary and classic
portraiture. Our photographs
aren’t overloaded with props
and accessories. We tend to stick
with whites and simple, natural
earth-tones. The minimalistic
look and feel of the NCP studio
allows us to create authentic and
classic photographs to
document this time in your
child’s life.
