Nest Out West educates, inspires, and empowers individuals to create a home environment they love.

Our Services

It all began with a builder grade home, a small budget, and some imagination. Today, Nest Out West is a multi-faceted brand and small business that remains deeply rooted in the power of creativity. Holding firmly to these roots, Nest Out West offers an array of creative services, outlined below.

Styled Product and Room Photography

Cait Pappas of Nest Out West styles hi-res, retouched images, which can be purchased for your brand’s marketing needs and are licensed for up to one year of personal or commercial use. All photo content is shot in natural light on a Nikon mirrorless camera and the right lens for the job. All images are retouched in Adobe Lightroom and exported according to the proper resolution needed for the intended use (for Web, social, or print). Please email hello@nestoutwest.co or submit a form if you’re interested in hiring Cait to capture content for your brand, product, or home.

Interior Decorating

Nest Out West offers virtual consultations and Room Refresh packages for clients across the country, as well as in-home decorating services for local clients (Northwest Suburbs of Chicago). We also do commercial projects, and we pride ourselves on our ability to work with a range of budgets. Through these Virtual Consultations and Room Refresh packages, you are empowered to take the implementation of the design plan into your own hands, or you can hire a contractor to do the work for you. Currently, our team is accepting new clients on a waitlist basis only.

Content Creation and Brand Collaborations

In addition to product and room photography services, Nest Out West provides promotional services for brands who value our representation. Cait’s Instagram account @nest.out.west has an always-changing, steadily growing following of more than 100,000 followers. On Pinterest, we reach more than 150K viewers each month, on average. Our most loyal followers know that we don’t “sell out;” rather, we are very selective about which brand collaborations we take on, and that speaks volumes for the brands that make it through our selection process. While we do request compensation for photographing and promoting your product/s, there are some occasions where we accept a product-for-content exchange. Exclusive promotion of your brand or product on social media is not guaranteed unless the collaboration is paid or both parties agree to an exchange contract.

If you’re interested in learning more about working with @nest.out.west as a brand partner or having Cait style and professionally photograph your product/s, please email hello@nestoutwest.co (not .com). We look forward to working with you.
