Motherhood Photography in Portland, OR
My #1 goal is to make this photo session experience as smooth and easy as possible. I understand that the idea of figuring out a date, clothing, everyone's moods and readiness can be overwhelming. I am here to help you through it.
Online booking makes finding an available date easy - no back and forth emails. If the date you want isn't on the online calendar - THEN message me and we'll figure something out from there.
The clothing - often the most daunting task - I have a very thorough guide to help you along with Pinterest boards and links to shops I like the most for photo-worthy clothing. I'm a text away from offering guidance, too.
The photo shoot - my sessions are child-led that prioritizes connection, fun, and beautiful light. Real moments, not staged or super trendy ones. Your photos will be tailored to your family's personality. Kids have a good time and dads leave saying, "huh, that wasn't so bad!"
Whether you want your pregnancy, newborn, breastfeeding or family connection captured, I honor it through the lens of motherhood.
THE BOOKING PROCESS with
NICOLE FITZWTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Once you book a session with me (based on general location), we will then settle on an exact location and type of session (maternity, family, etc.).
I will guide you on clothing and go over details to make this shoot personalized to your family.
Sessions will last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on how the session flows and its location.
Kids might have grumpy moments, and THAT'S OKAY! We'll go with the flow and take a quick snack break if needed.
I won't overly pose you into super awkward positions - I'll gently guide you into what looks best in photos while you play and snuggle with your family. Sessions are meant to be relaxed and to spend quality time with your children. Not a stiffly posed and uncomfortable session. Even dads say afterwards that it wasn't bad at all!
Once your session is complete, I'll send an online gallery 2 - 4 weeks after your session where you'll be able to download your images.

Weather in Portland & How to Navigate It
Portland has its own rhythm & weather - we are lucky to have all four seasons, with two in particular that give a lot of rain, which is what makes the scenery so beautiful and green year-round, but... can be a challenge for outdoor photo sessions.
Photographers love overcast light, myself included, because it is very soft light and flattering for faces. This also can give images a more intimate, moody feel.
As your photographer, I guide families through:
-
Choosing the right season for their children’s ages based specifically for Portland families
-
Allowing for flexibility in scheduling due to unpredictable weather
-
Selecting locations that are beautiful yet manageable - for example, if you want a view but don't want to hike 10 miles for it
-
Preparing in a way that feels calm - not overwhelming, including wardrobe and pre-session guidance
Sessions are intentionally structured to feel unhurried and natural. Often parents think shorter sessions will be better but in my experience, the less pressure we put on the children and ourselves to perform, even if quickly, the more relaxed and easy they are. I do offer mini sessions a couple times a year, though, for families who really just want a super short session. See my pricing page for current mini session events.
