Information


Welcome to Nicole Barker Photography, where your story is told through the art of luxury portraiture.. Every session is crafted to capture your essence in a way that will be cherished for generations. I specialize in Maternity, all the way up to Senior and Family sessions in Northern Virginia, Maryland and the Washington DC Metro area.

As a high-end portrait photographer, I provide a custom-tailored experience. From personalized styling consultations to exclusive shoot locations, every detail of your session is meticulously curated to create portraits that you will love.

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation where we discuss your vision, styling preferences, and the emotions you want your portraits to evoke. At your one-on-one consultation, you will be able to see the beautiful, handmade product that I offer and we will go over the pricing more in depth.. On the day of the shoot, I will ensure every detail is flawless, so you can focus on enjoying your session and the whole experience. . A couple weeks after the session, we will meet in person for your ordering session where you will view a beautiful slideshow of your images and decide what you would like to order!

The Process:

  1. Consultation – We start with a private, in person consultation to discuss your vision, style, and the purpose of your portraits. We will go over the details of your session (clothing, location, expectations, etc). This is YOUR session, so I want you to help plan the details!

  2. Styling – I offer expert guidance on wardrobe selection, makeup, and accessories, ensuring you look and feel your best.

  3. The Session – On the day of the shoot, you’ll be treated to an exclusive, relaxed experience. Your session should be enjoyable!

  4. Viewing & Selection – After the shoot, you’ll have a private ordering/viewing session where we’ll review your images and select your final portraits.

  5. Portrait Delivery – Your portraits will be delivered as fine art prints, or in luxurious albums—designed to be cherished for years to come.
