NESTED Terms and conditions

NESTED is a curated, artist-led series and not a traditional photography session. To preserve the integrity of the project and the experience for everyone involved, each feature takes place within a defined creative structure.

By booking a NESTED feature, participants agree to the following:

1. Artist-directed format

NESTED features are guided by an editorial theme. The visual direction, mood, and any location or wardrobe guidance are set in advance. Participants are collaborating wtih an existing creative vision rather than commissioning a custom photography session.

2. Fixed image offering

Each NESTED feature includes six photographer-selected digital images and corresponding 4x6 matte prints in a keepsake pouch.

NESTED is a closed artistic format. There are no additional images, galleries, upgrades, or sales beyond what is included.

This allows the series to remain focused and true to its purpose as an ongoing body of work.

3. Closed system

NESTED features cannot be expanded, customized, or converted during the session into traditional photography sessions. If you’re looking for family photos with a fully personalized experience, a larger image set and flexible scheduling, please reach out to book a regular family session instead.

4. Scheduling & dates

NESTED is photographed only on the published dates for each editorial theme. If a participant is unable to attend due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, the NESTED fee may only be applied to a future pre-scheduled NESTED date when available.

If you have paid for a NESTED feature and later decide a traditional photography session is a better fit, your payment may be transferred prior to the scheduled date, with any price difference applied.

NESTED features cannot be converted once in progress. If participants attempt to shift a NESTED feature into a custom photography session while I am on site, the feature will be terminated and payment forfeited. Please respect and protect the creative boundaries of this creative project.

5. Model & media release

NESTED is created as part of a long-term art project with online presence in blogs and media articles, and potential print publication. A full model and media release is required to participate.

Should a participant later choose to revoke the release, the session will be subject to the fee difference of the value of a commissioned family session that includes session fee and the pro-rated rate of the collection cost.
