The complete mini session experience for you to update your family photos, order holiday cards, and even check gifting off your to-do list… without adding anything extra to your already-full plate.
Embrace a less-stressful holiday season & give yourself more time to enjoy the things that matter.
You love updating your family photos every fall—
It’s the perfect way to mark time, and an easy way to get a nice pic for your holiday card.
(for a busy mom like you, that’s a win-win!)
But even though it *feels* like you’re getting a two-for one, past experience tells you this also comes with extra to-dos on your list:
and then, once you’ve done all that, let’s not forget:
( Do you feel tired just thinking about all that? Same. 🤪)
You’ve got so much on your plate already—and you wish someone else could handle some of it for once.
(I mean, there’s gotta be a better way, right? …Bueller?)
And also, your kids are only this age once.
(Not to add a guilt trip to the mix, but #facts.)
You want to enjoy the holiday season, but all those *extra* things end up adding stress to an already-busy season.
Even if you plan ahead.
Even when you set all the good intentions.
And this year, you don’t want to feel grumpy, stressed, or even resentful. want it to be different:
This year, you want to feel more present & truly savor the season with your family.
So this year, what if you could:
… And know someone else is taking care of all this for you, even before your Thanksgiving turkey hits the table?

Session day is here! I know exactly how to get what we need in the time we have together, even if the kids need time to warm up to the camera. 😊
During your virtual reveal session, I’ll guide you through choosing your favorite images, finalizing your cards, & ordering any optional upgrades.
She is always professional, prepared, & extremely patient with our little ones! I also love that she's able to make all of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos she takes are precious AND flattering… which may seem silly, but is important to me! She is absolutely wonderful, & she'll definitely be our photographer for life!

Here’s what other moms are saying…
We love having professional photos of our family that weren’t taken on iPhones, but I know we wouldn’t have gotten the results with just any photographer, either! Nicole is also a mom, so she knows what little ones need to feel comfortable during a session. We love seeing the framed portrait from our session hanging in our home every day!
Emily Flynn
Here’s what other moms are saying…
She does a great job of preparing you for the shoot, with lots of great tips for choosing outfit colors and more. She captures beautiful memories and does it with ease and efficiency. Our prints and gorgeous album have a place of pride in our home!
Sarah Lantz Gray
Here’s what other moms are saying…
Our album is full of beautiful beautiful family photos we will always cherish!

Absolutely! Nicole is an efficient shooter, and we may be finished even sooner than that! We also plan to have an assistant on-site to help you look through all the different upgrade options after your session.
These sessions are intended to be for just one family/ family unit. If you would like to add additional family members (such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins), we recommend booking two back to back session spots, or reaching out to us about scheduling a full, custom session!
Your session fee includes 2 digital images along with your products. Additional print & digital collections are available if you would like to purchase more favorites!
We’ll schedule a virtual reveal session within the week after your session. This is when you’ll view your images for the first time, and Nicole will walk you through selecting your favorite images! Once you’ve chosen your favorites (and you’ve completed payment on any upgrade options), we’ll complete a master retouch on each one and deliver your final digital gallery within 10 business days. Then, we’ll place the order for your products!
Nope, not at all! You may have exactly what you need with what’s included in your session fee. Any upgrade options do not need to be finalized until your reveal session when you select your images!
Because holiday cards are time sensitive, and we want to ensure you get them back in a timely manner, all image selections & upgrades must be completed within one week of your session to ensure delivery before Thanksgiving. We’ll share more details about this through the process, so don’t worry… we’ll keep ya informed! 😉
Only the images you choose and purchase after your session will be backed up and stored. We recommend that all decision-making parties be involved in the selection process!
In the event of rain, there is a beautiful covered porch at the Robert Mills House, which is directly across the road from Hampton-Preston, so regardless of the weather, we’ll still be able to have our mini sessions!
The goal for these photos is for them to be cherished by your family for years to come, so please dress your family in what feels the most like you. You can also grab our 5 stress-free style tips guide below to help guide you!
These optional collections will be available for you to purchase during your reveal session after you see your proofing gallery. Prices are in addition to the session fee.
