Unforgettable NYC Portrait Photography: From Engagements to Family Photos

What to Expect During a Portrait Session?

Your portrait session will be a relaxed and enjoyable experience! Here’s how it works:

Location & Timing:
  • We’ll meet at the agreed-upon location and time, typically at a well-known spot or entrance point. I will have pre-scouted the area for ideal photo opportunities. If there’s a particular place you love or find meaningful, feel free to let me know!
Poses & Combinations:
  • Throughout the session, we’ll explore different poses and groupings to ensure we capture the best moments for you and all participants. If you’re planning a larger group or content creation, I’ll bring an assistant to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

What Should We Wear?

When it comes to attire, here are some helpful tips:

  • Coordinate with others: Make sure outfits complement each other without being too matchy-matchy.
  • Consider the background: Avoid colors that blend into the surroundings.
  • Bring an outfit change: Feel free to mix it up! If you plan to change, please let me know ahead of time so we can allocate extra time and ensure you have a spot to change.
  • Send me a photo of what you are considering for my suggestions!
  • If you want professional guidance, I can refer you to a stylist

Location & Timing Considerations

  • Free Locations: Many beautiful locations in the area are available at no cost.
  • Permits: Some locations require permits, which will vary and need to be secured in advance
  • Studio Sessions: If you prefer an indoor session, I can rent a studio space for you.
  • Seasonal Considerations: The time of year will influence lighting and weather conditions, so we’ll keep that in mind when choosing a date.
  • For Families with Small Children: Scheduling around nap time and ensuring the little ones are well-rested will result in much happier photos!

For outdoor sessions, the Spring and Fall seasons are perfect in the NYC area, offering mild temperatures and beautiful seasonal backdrops, like blooming flowers, Cherry Blossoms, wisteria  in Spring or vibrant fall foliage. Dates will vary from year to year, but April to earl May is best for flowering trees and late October/Early November is best for peak foliage.

Hair & Makeup

Professional hair and makeup are always a great investment for your portraits. It can make a noticeable difference in how you look in photos, especially for engagement sessions and headshots. I highly recommend booking a beauty session for these occasions. I'm happy to make a recommendation, just ask!

How to Book Your Portrait Session

I open my calendar for portrait sessions 6 weeks in advance. Here’s the process:

  • Choose Your Date: We’ll set a date that works for you.
  • Booking Proposal: I’ll send over a detailed booking proposal.
  • Retainer: A retainer is required to secure your spot. This will be applied toward your final balance.
  • Confirmation: We’ll confirm your session 2-3 days before the shoot.
  • Weather Considerations: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll reschedule to a mutually convenient date.
