At Nicole Mele Photography, we specialize in capturing timeless, natural-light portraits that highlight authentic moments. Whether your session takes place in the comfort of your home, an outdoor location anywhere in Connecticut, or our North Haven studio, we ensure a relaxed and beautifully lit setting tailored to your vision.

I am located in North Haven, CT. A fee of $.50 per mile will be added to locations beyond 15 miles.

Of course! Pets are family too!

Delivery times can vary depending on the time of year and size of the job, but 7-10 days is the standard. Of course, I always do my best to deliver your photos to you as soon as possible.

If you're ready to book and would like to discuss available dates, please contact me via the Contact Page, email, or call/text me at 203.415.1804.

I accept all major credit cards via PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo, cash, or checks payable to Nicole Mele Photography.

You have the rights to the images for personal use and Nicole Mele Photography maintains the rights to use the images for promotional purposes.

I always recommend ordering prints directly through me to ensure the highest quality and color accuracy. However, if you prefer to order prints on your own, I highly recommend Mpix for professional-grade results.

Print Labs I Do Not Recommend:
Avoid print stations inside chain stores like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Shutterfly. These locations use lower-quality paper, and their machines are not calibrated for accurate color reproduction, which can significantly impact the final result.

Invest in quality prints that preserve your memories beautifully for years to come!

If you’d like to create a Pinterest inspiration board for your upcoming session, feel free to do so! I recommend selecting 10-15 of your favorite images, especially from my previous work, to give me a sense of the style and poses you love.

Keep in mind that while inspiration is great, every session is unique! Lighting conditions, location, and weather play a big role in the final outcome, so try to focus on the overall vibe and composition rather than specific backgrounds or settings.

While I can’t guarantee that every pinned pose will be replicated exactly, I’ll use your board as a reference to ensure we capture stunning, personalized images that align with your vision.

A 50% deposit is required to secure all photography sessions, regardless of the total cost. This deposit ensures your session date is reserved and allows for proper planning and preparation.

If you have any questions about booking or would like to discuss your session details, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to capturing beautiful moments with you!
