What makes Todd Nichols Studios different from other photographers?
We create museum-quality fine art portraits that transcend ordinary photography. Using the same lighting techniques favored by the Old Masters, we craft timeless heirlooms that capture the depth, emotion, and soul of those you love most.
I’m not photogenic...I don't usually like how I look in photos. Is this for me?
You are exactly who we create for. Many of our clients begin with the same concern. Through masterful lighting, refined posing, and a deeply attentive experience, we reveal a version of you that feels graceful, confident, and authentically beautiful.
Should I wait until: I lose weight, grow my hair out, my botox kicks in, my dogs birthday... to feel more confident?
We gently encourage you not to wait. This is your moment to be celebrated as you are — in this chapter of life. Many clients share that this experience became a turning point in how they see and value themselves.
What should I wear for my session, my closet is a disaster, I literally have nothing to wear!?
Don't worry, we have you covered. We'll schedule a call to go over wardrobe and styling options with Julie, our in-house stylist. You will have exclusive access to our private client wardrobe — a curated collection of couture, vintage and designer items including jewelry and shoes selected specifically to enhance how you look on-camera.
How long is a private in-studio session?
Depending on the type of session, most women and family sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes, allowing ample time for an unhurried, luxurious experience in our private studio.
Where do you conduct your portrait sessions?
All sessions take place in our beautiful, private studio in historic downtown Nampa — a serene, intentionally designed sanctuary reserved exclusively for you. This creates the ideal environment for creating exceptional art.
What is the investment range for your portraits?
Our collections are true fine art investments. Pricing begins at mid-range and extend upward depending on the size, quantity and finish of the pieces chosen. Every collection is designed to become a treasured family legacy. We go over all the options at the private viewing appointment. Our studio also offers thoughtful financing.
Do you offer digital images only?
We focus on creating a complete fine art experience. While high-resolution digital files are included with most wall art, our emphasis remains on producing tangible, museum-quality artwork that will grace your walls for generations.
I feel nervous or camera shy. Will I be comfortable?
Absolutely. Creating a warm, empowering, and deeply supportive environment is one of our greatest strengths. You will be gently guided every step of the way so you feel relaxed, confident, and radiant.
How long until I receive my finished portraits?
After your private reveal and selection appointment, your heirloom artwork is handcrafted with the utmost care. Production typically takes 4–6 weeks, ensuring every piece meets our exacting standards of excellence.
Is there a session fee?
Yes. The session fee reserves our studio exclusively for you and covers the artistic experience.
Do you photograph families, couples, headshots and men as well?
Yes. We create exquisite portraits for individuals, couples, families and beloved companions with the same level of care and artistry. We also create iconic, memorable headshots for corporate and personal branding.
