The Investment

Contact me for more Information

There’s something truly special about holding your memories in your hands. In a world where so many photos live on screens, printed artwork ensures your most cherished moments are beautifully preserved for generations to come.

I offer a selection of heirloom-quality products designed to bring your images to life. Handcrafted albums with thick, luxurious pages tell your story in a way that a digital file never could. Stunning canvas and wood prints create timeless wall art, turning your favorite moments into statement pieces for your home. And of course, professional prints provide rich colors and crisp details that simply can’t be matched by consumer labs.

While digital files are Included for safekeeping and sharing, nothing compares to the beauty and longevity of professionally printed artwork. These are the pieces that will be passed down, flipped through, and cherished for years to come. Let’s create something truly special together!

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?

01.

We love to photograph maternity, newborn, sitter, 1st birthday, family, kids, and senior sessions. We also occasionally do engagement sessions and headshots. 

What types of photography sessions do you offer?

02.

Our newborn sessions are done inside our Folsom studio. We also sometimes can do sitter or first birthday sessions in studio. All other sessions are done outside. 

Do you offer indoor and outdoor photography sessions?

03.

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?

04.

All sessions include a selection of beautifully retouched digital images, so you’ll have lasting memories to keep, share, and enjoy right away. You’ll also have the opportunity to elevate your experience with fine art prints, albums, and wall pieces.

Each printed piece is crafted with care and includes a matching digital file — making it easy to preserve your images both in hand and on screen. Whether you choose a curated collection or select items a la carte, I’m here to help you create something tangible and timeless.

Are digital files included in your session fee?

05.

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?
