The Session Guide

Ashley Nielsen Studio

Your family’s story is a masterpiece—one filled with love, connection, and fleeting moments that deserve to be captured with intention and artistry. I believe in creating more than just photographs; I craft timeless, fine art portraits that reflect the beauty of your family’s story. From the session experience to heirloom-quality prints, every detail is thoughtfully curated to provide you with a seamless, luxurious experience—because your family’s legacy deserves nothing less.

THE PROCESS


1.

Booking your session is just the beginning.

Next, we’ll guide you through planning the perfect wardrobe, with Ashley by your side to ensure every detail feels intentional, flattering, and uniquely you.


2.

Step into your photoshoot ready to experience something unforgettable.

Nerves are natural, but our process is designed to melt them away so you can settle in, feel confident, and actually enjoy being in front of the camera.


3.

After your portraits are perfected, we'll hop on Zoom for the moment we’ve all been waiting for. This is where you’ll see your images for the first time, an experience that often brings both joy and tears (yes, have tissues

close by). From there, we’ll curate your favorites into breathtaking wall art, heirloom albums, and custom pieces designed to live beautifully in your home.


4.

Once your artwork is ready, it will be shipped directly to your home. Custom artwork installation is available. Then comes the best part: enjoying your portraits every day in your home, knowing they’ll be cherished for generations and become a lasting piece of your family’s legacy.





WAYS TO PURCHASE YOUR IMAGES


If you're interested in only having the digital files, that's great. Digital bundles are available for purchase in increments of 5 images. (ie: 5, 10, 15... images)

Individual files can be purchased at $99 per image.

You can purchase the slideshow from your proofing meeting (Zoom meeting only) for $999, but this is a complimentary gift when you purchase all the digitals in a bundle or collection.

Proofs prints are available to purchase for $999 in a glass display box.

Custom framing options are also available for purchase.

This is where we get to design the perfect artwork for your wall space and create an incredible custom heirloom piece that will be handed down through generations.

What MOST people do is create an heirloom album of their session that includes

all of their favorite images. When you create an album with Ashley Nielsen Studio, the digital images are included with the purchase.

Almost everyone chooses this option because it covers both the printed and digital components of enjoying your images.
