Welcome! I'm Nimi, an award-winning and leading maternity photographer in Minneapolis. My studio is located in Eden Prairie, MN. As a mother, I know how important documenting this special time is, not only because your pregnancy lasts a short time but also because, as the support structure of your family, you are often thinking about everyone else before yourself. This session is for you to have your moment. A chance to be pampered, to feel beautiful, to feel special.
To assure that you will have an amazing experience, we schedule an in-person or phone pre-session consultation where we will gather all the details for your session including wardrobe, styling, and personal items in order to plan your session. Nimz Photography also offers a selection of gowns and outfits for you to wear during your session.
Additional digital images, albums, and wall art are purchased separately.
*Please note: all bookings require a $500 non-refundable deposit, in order to book your session. This payment is the DEPOSIT ONLY that secures your date and time, the remaining amount must be paid before the day of the session. The deposit goes towards the cost of the session.
*Raw images will not be shared
*Nimz Photography owns the copyright and exclusivity to all images.
*Privacy/copyright for your photographs can be purchased.
If you wish to prevent the photographer from using any of your images online, we have the option of purchasing privacy at an additional cost of 30% on the total cost. We highly respect your decisions on the usage of images and formalized this process to prevent any usage of your family images on our well-administered social media platforms and our website.
Intention: Images used by us online, are mainly to help market and showcase variety by displaying the capability and potential of our photography services.
After the session clients will be presented with images from the session during a personal ordering appointment to make the selection and purchase the art products
