Childhood is full of wonder, and my goal is to capture those magical moments in a way that feels joyful, authentic, and timeless. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a personality-filled portrait, or just because—they deserve to be remembered. My child photography sessions in the Sacramento and Bay Areas focus on genuine expressions and playful interactions, creating images that truly reflect who they are at this stage in life.
In addition to your digital files, I offer a selection of luxurious print and album options that turn these special moments into true heirlooms. Whether displayed in your home or gifted to loved ones, these prints preserve your memories in a way that digital files alone can’t.
Throughout the year, I also offer special themed mini sessions that add a little extra fun to the experience! From whimsical setups to seasonal favorites, these events are a perfect way to capture your child’s personality in a creative and stress-free way. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram to learn more!
Simply fill out the contact me page, or email me at nicole@bluegatephoto.com. We will start with a short phone call to get an idea of the type of session you are looking for. From there we will meet in studio or by video chat to discuss all the details and plan your session out.
How do I book a session with Blue Gate Photography?
That really depends on the time of year and type of session you are wanting. It's a good idea to book your maternity and newborn session at the start of your second trimester. For family sessions during peak season (sep-dec) it's best to book at least a month in advance. However, even if you missed these deadlines its ok to inquire about any last minute openings we may have.
How far in advance should I book my session?
Absolutely! Just let me know ahead of time what you would like to bring so that i can come up with a plan on how to incorporate it. Please be aware that most newborn clothing that you purchase online or in store may fit large on your baby as they are designed to allow baby to grow into. I have plenty of outfits and props that are purchased from specialty vendors so that they fit newborns snugly.
Can I bring props or special items to incorporate into my session?
