My experience with Nicolas has been one of the best I've had with any business owner. His company has been contacted by my son's school for their yearly pictures for sometime now. However It's been these past two years I've dealt with them personally. It started with me inquiring for a package of photos as well as having a few questions about last year's package that I did not receive from my son's school. The customer service I later received was totally unexpected. When I inquired about a package of school pictures Nicolas answered all my questions almost instantaneously. With him being a busy man I'm sure I was very appreciative of his quick responses. While going back and forth I mentioned me not receiving last years pictures and he very genuinely offered to reprint and resend them to me at no additional cost. That in itself was also much appreciated. While discussing that package I mentioned something along the lines of me not wanting to choose a particular picture due to a visible stain on my son's shirt. Nicolas offered to retouch and edit it so that I may have that preferred picture. Once again his generosity was acknowledged and appreciated. Within days I received both packages of back to back school year photos. The attention to detail and quality of each photo was fantastic. And the pose that I liked and Nicolas offered to touch up came out perfect! Wouldn't notice a thing if it wasn't mentioned. Enjoying the quality of his work I took look at his website and learned he not only does school photos but shoots for all occasions. With that in mind my family and I will definitely be using him for occasions of ours in the future. If you're looking for a photographer for any occasion I highly recommend Nicolas. I say it all the time, I am a customer service first type of guy and admittedly I can be somewhat of a hard customer to deal with at times. Between my annoying overload of questions and over all personality, I know to appreciate an employees patients with me and still not lack of top tier service. And that is exactly what you will be receiving when you deal with Nicolas and his business. I guarantee you will not regret it. read more

If you are reading this considering using them as your school photographer, please message me and I will send you the photo proofs of my child. I don't even have words. I'm not very picky. I order pictures every year. This was just the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. The kids are posed in the weirdest poses....hands on hips (including boys), fingers on chins (pensive?), thumbs up, heartsies? WTF?! I emailed the photographer to request a make up day and specifically said "Please no strange poses, fingers on chin, thumbs up, etc." thinking we'd at least have a good second go around. I think the photographer was trying to get back at me. It's even worse than the first. It's like an SNL sketch. I mean what on earth!!??? Also, all the photos are taken from below face level so everyone has a double chin. Many kids cried when they saw their photos. I hope and pray my school will find someone better next year. If not, I'm keeping my kid home on picture day. read more

Once again, I was blown away by Nicolas and his team. They did our school portraits again this year, and I could not be more pleased. They are always on time, professional, and they deliver an even better product every year. They are so patient with the children, and take the time to get it right.

I recently had a photo session with Nicolas and it was truly a great experience. Not only did the photos come out well, but he made the entire process fun. Highly recommended! read more

Nicolas Sage photography provided a terrific headshot with outstanding service. I needed a headshot quickly, and Nicolas Sage was easy to work with, has reasonable prices and was very accommodating. I highly recommend! read more

Nicolas has been easy and professional to work with. Institutional/corporate photography is tough, however, I am very impressed with the lighting, poses, and quality of the images that Nicolas and team have produced. read more

Nicolas took our family photos last year and we couldn't be happier with them. He was happy to come to a local park we like, picked great spaces and was so considerate of our two kids. It's hard to get good photos of toddlers and infants, but he was patient and creative and we loved the pictures. read more

Awesome job! Nicolas did our school portraits and did an amazing job! There were enough photos to choose from and I loved that there was one picture that showed each students grade! Also, Nicolas made it easy to purchase a package with all the digital images! Thanks again!! read more

Nicolas and his team did our pre-school photoshoot. They were very organized!! This was the second time my family had school's photoshoot and first time using Nicolas and his team. They came a few days before the photoshoot to check the lighting of our school. Chose the best part of the school that had the best lighting. Reached out to parents who requested sibling photos to get details and organized their day. They were fun and professional. Pictures came out beautiful and perfect and was very easy to order. read more

Mr. Nicholas Sage and his team took photos of children and faculty at my kids school. I was a parent volunteer to help the photographers & their team make sure all the kids were picture ready etc. I got to witness, first hand, all the work that goes into school picture taking. Nicholas Sage and his 'dream' team worked hard (I dont think they even took a lunch or restroom break), were super focused, friendly and fun yet very professional. Thank you again for taking AMAZING photos of our children and faculty. By helping you guys I got to experience how much hard work goes into it. I am very appreciative of your teams hard work. Thank you again! read more

This is an overdue review for our amazing school photos. We loved all the pics Nicolas took so much and couldn't believe how professional and unique the poses all were for a school option. He really outdid himself and really took the time to capture all the kids so well, which must be tough to do with so many children. We have been enjoying looking at all the kids photos in the yearbook and it is rather impressive that they all look fantastic in their close-ups! I had trouble deciding which prints to get and also missed a deadline to order; Nicolas went above and beyond to help me make all the right choices and get me the prints in time for gift giving. Highly recommend and hope he will be back each year! read more

Nicholas Sage photography did it again - they took photos of children at my kids school. As I was leaving for work in the morning I got to observe the Sage team work. Everyone was professional and friendly - they also provided hair detanglers, pins, hair combs... you name it... individual items to keep it clean. The photos came out great. Thank you Sage team for yet another year of amazing school kids photography! read more

Nicolas Sage photography took my kids' school photos and they are amazing. I was able to choose from a number of different poses and they were all so good, it was hard to make just one selection! I highly recommend this company for school pictures. They are very professional and take excellent photos. read more

Nicolas Sage photographed my daughter's school pictures and did an amazing. We are so impressed with what great shots were captured. Picture Perfect!! Thanks!!! read more

I highly recommend Nicolas Sage Photography. I used them for my girls annual Picture Day photos, excellent shoots, unique poses and very high quality images. So many photos to choose from it was actually hard to decide. Got my order very quick and excellent costumer service. I will defiantly recommend for my friends and family. read more

First of all, I have to say I loved all the different poses of my daughter's school portraits making it super hard to decide on just 1 or 2 poses! The pictures are stunning and she looks great in ALL of them!!! This prompted me to reach out to Nicolas Sage Photography to see what my best option would be to have several different poses printed. Nicolas himself promptly returned my call and explained the different options and packages. I decided to do the digital package so that I can have ALL the different poses to cherish! I'm so impressed with their great customer service and talented photographic skills! A few years ago, a different company did the school portraits and they only did one pose which wasn't very good if you didn't like that pose! I really appreciate the fact that Nicolas Sage Photography takes the time to get several different shots with different depths and angles! I look forward to future pictures! read more

I run a small private school and just had Nicolas and his team do our school pictures this year. They were on time, friendly, professional and took great care to make sure each picture captured the very best of each student. The pictures themselves were absolutely wonderful, with numerous choices made available for each student. We definitely plan on using them again next year. read more

Nicolas did the best job for my son's Bar Mitzvah! He was so easy to work with, all the guests loved him and the photos could not have been better!!! read more

I was so impressed by the photos Nicolas took at my daughter's school! They took about 10 photos of each of my kids, and they all turned out fantastic!! I actually couldn't decide on only one pose, so I bought all the digital photos at a very fair price. The photos turned out natural, and my kids look genuinely happy in all of them. Ordering the photos were also really easy to do online. I plan to take family photos with this studio soon! read more

My kids' school uses this company every year for school photos and every year we are disappointed. The poses are so cliche and ridiculous. Posing for school photos with two thumbs up, or that silly over-used heart shaped hands pose (can we stop that already, please?), or how about a second grader with his hand on his chin staring off into space like he's deep in thought? Just ugh. The smiles are forced, he wet down my son's really short buzz cut, just awful. It's a shame that one day when we look back at these photos the best thing about them will be the laugh we get over how bad they are. Furthermore, we get the flyers with the ordering information only 5 days before the deadline. read more

I have had the pleasure of having Nicolas Sage take my daughters school portraits and when i went to his website to look a the pictures...I was happy to see both my daughters pictures came out really good! I have had issues in the past with ordering and the way the pictures looked, but i can honestly say my babies pics were amazing! He was accommodating and answered my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him as my family photographer. read more

I had Nicolas Sage photography take photos at my son's baptism. Nicolas was very polite and took awesome photos of our event. Everyone in my family loved all the photos as well. I would highly recommend Nicolas Sage to be a photographer to my friends and family. read more

Nicolas did an amazing job on my headshots... His headshots have been getting me in the door more WAY more than my last shots and I did them with someone else. He is fantastic and great. Loved my experience with him and will be going back when I'm due again!!! read more

Very happy to have worked with Nicolas. I used Nicolas' services to capture my commencement moments with my family. Very responsive and professional. Great moments were captured to the highest quality. Very happy with the pictures and reasonably priced. More than happy to recommend his service to anyone looking for photography services, whether that's for special events or portrait/headshots. Nicolas directed me in my family in an outdoor setting so that we had the best lighting possible. read more

We loved using Nicolas Sage Photography as a School Portrait Photographer. The pictures that he takes are much more natural looking than typical school portraits. He is very easy to work with. One year I forgot to purchase the pictures during the time allotted. He was kind enough to extend the period for me. I love that we get four different options to choose from for our photo. I really like all of the extra special things that we can purchase with our child's school picture on it. Last year, we gave coffee mugs with homemade hot chocolate as Xmas gifts for all of our extended family. Each mug had our child's picture on the mug. Everyone LOVED the gift. I loved how easy shopping or 22 coffee mugs was! Thanks Nicolas Sage for making a big difference in the lives of my family. read more

Nicolas did an amazing job on my headshots - my agent found some he liked right away. He is creative, efficient, easy to work with and has a great eye. I couldn't believe how many great shots he took in such a short time! I will definitely be working with Nicolas again. read more

Nicolas photographed our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and was a complete success!! He got some great candids and incredible posed shots. He was extremely accommodating to our changing venues and extremely easy to work with. We also had him set up a photo booth that the kids (and adults) absolutely had a ball with. Thank you Nicolas Sage for a professional, fun and beautiful collection of memories from our special day!!!!! read more

Nicholas Sage Photography did my children's picture day at school. School photos can be pretty awful but I was pleasantly surprised - he managed to get my 3 year old to smile for a photo, which is no easy feat, and he got really nice shots of both kids - again, not easy or a given with school photos. The photos are not cheap, and I would have liked more options to pick and choose with the value packages, but overall, I was impressed by the company. read more

Such professional school photos for my toddler! Nicolas Sage was so creative and was able to capture the best shots which made it difficult to choose which ones to order! The online option of ordering created a better experience rather than mailing in requests. Great customer service as well. Definitely exceeded my expectations! Thank you! read more

Nicolas Sage recently photographed my daughter for her yearly school photos. The pictures are ok and I echo another here that said the poses were a bit too cliche and too 'posed'. Not natural. She looks a bit stiff. read more

Nicolas was our wedding photographer, and we could not have been more pleased with him! We met with him before our wedding day and discussed exactly what we wanted (lots of candids, not so many posed photos). Nicolas listened and delivered. We were so pleased with his photographs! Not only did he get a lot of great candids, he also managed to make my husband and I, two of the least photogenic people around, look great in not just a few of his photographs but in nearly all of them. In addition to being a fantastic photographer, Nicolas was extremely professional. He was very responsive to our queries both before and after the wedding and delivered our photos to us in a timely manner. We cannot recommend him more highly. read more

Nicolas was the photographer for my son's bar mitzvah in April of 2018 and he worked tirelessly to capture every moment of our special event. Of all of the vendors we hired, he was the first one to show up and the last one to leave. He was patient and moved quickly to accommodate requests for special family photos, and his assistant was great as well. He got great shots of every key moment of our event: the before, the service, cocktail hour, dance floor, dinner--and we also got beautiful storytelling moments on camera--the torah reading, family togetherness, the tables, flowers, kids having fun with the vendors and the DJ. There was variable lighting throughout out event, from bright outdoor to dark interiors--and all of the pictures turned out looking great. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicolas and would definitely hire him in the future. read more

Nicolas is a great, professional photographer and a really good, fun, trustworthy, hard-working guy. We chose Nicolas as our daughter's baptism photographer and it really was one of the best decisions we ever made. He delivered on everything he promised, and more: other reviews (yelp and other sites) have mentioned that he exceeds expectations, and I agree. We're so happy with our photos which we're going to treasure for the rest of our lives and working with Nicolas was honestly a wonderful experience. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Nicolas Sage was excellent in every way. He was efficient and quick and I was very pleased with the final photos. I will definitely refer any of my friends who need photography to Nicholas Sage read more

We did one of Nick's mini-sessions and it was great! I have studied some photography and my mother is a professional landscape photographer and I can say with wholeheartedness that Nick is truly a professional who knows his art! This is a great gift for the whole family that will last for years! read more

Probably some of the worst school photographs that I have ever gotten. My goodness, weird shadows, weird lighting and my young son looks like an old man with wrinkles in his photo this year and my other child had a scowl on his face. The class picture was a joke also, every child looks terrible and Most parents are so unhappy with their pictures this year. I sure hope my school finds another photographer next year...Yikes! Never seen anything like it. What a waste of my dollars and memory of this school year! read more

Nicolas is a wonderful photographer. He's done our family picture for the past 2 years and will shoot us again this year. He's great with the kids. Very kind and understanding and the images are fantastic. He also does the school pictures at our sons' school and we love those too. Dealing with Nicolas is always a positive experience and the results are impressive too. read more

We hired Nicholas for our son's baptism. It was important to have the details of the day captured, as well as family portraits. I was happy to see that I had great photos to choose from. Hiring him allowed us to relax and be present for our son's baptism. It was wonderful to have all the captured memories, ones that we will cherish for a lifetime read more

Our school booked Nicolas for class photos and we absolutely LOVED the photos we got back of our son. We had so many great poses to choose from. I am sure it can't be easy photographing five year olds who are constantly wiggling and making funny faces but Nicolas patiently worked with each child to ensure a great shot. read more
