INFORMATION
The days may seem long, but the years fly by. The joy of family photography is to pause time and capture your family just as they are. It’s so much more than a holiday card – it’s a collection of photos the tell the story of your most important legacy.
From maternity to newborn to family (and all the snuggles in between) let’s document your most treasured moments. Family sessions range from intimate, in home shoots to on location in some of NYC’s most iconic spots.
NYC sessions begin at $750 for an hour of photos. Please inquire below for a complete investment guide and don’t forget to ask about year long multi-session bundles!
FAQ
General
Maternity
Baby & Family
What is included in a family session?
Family sessions are one hour in length and you will receive your edited gallery online with a high resolution download included - usually 80-100 images. Print ordering, holiday card design and album creation is also available.
Where should we have our session?
Family sessions are offered throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, but sessions outside of NYC have a travel fee. Some people chose an in-home session and some prefer something outdoors. I am happy to chat about some of my favorite locations!
When do you offer family sessions?
Family sessions are available year round and offered Monday-Friday. Occasional weekend time slots can be made available for special circumstances. Fall is the most popular season, so please reach out asap to book your session!
Do you offer mini-sessions?
Not at this time. I prefer to spend a full hour with each family I work with to be able to deliver you a diverse collection of images that tell your story.
Can we book multiple sessions at one time?
Yes! Please ask about my maternity through one year old collection, which includes four sessions (maternity, newborn, 6 months and one year). There is no better way to document your new little one's first year!
How do we book?
Please send me an inquiry via the contact form on this page and I will reply as soon as I can. To confirm your session there is a 50% retainer fee and the balance is due the day of the session.
How far along in my pregnancy is the best time for photos?
That's completely up to you, but usually I recommend in the seventh month. You want to be sure you are showing significantly, but still feel comfortable moving around.
Are maternity sessions in home or outside?
Either! Both! My one hour sessions are either in your home or outside and allow for one or two outfits. For a more extensive session with more outfits, I highly recommend booking two hours and spending half of the session in your home and half outdoors. These longer sessions are my favorite!
What should I wear?
Once you book your session, I'm happy to give tips on what sort of outfits look best in maternity photos. You can even run your differnet options by me for a second opinion!
How soon after birth should we plan for newborn photos? What about a regular baby session?
I recommend newborn photos be taken in the second week home from the hospital, once you've had a chance to adjust to being a new mom or dad.
Six months is the perfect age to capture your baby after a newborn session. Your baby will be more alert, smiling and laughing!
My kids are older, can we still do a session?
Of course! I love photographing families of all ages and have many families I work with year after year. I highly recommend scheduling a family session at least once a year to document your kids as they grow up!
Where should we take our photos?
For newborn and baby sessions, I recommend having the session in your home. For family sessions, your favorite park or the beach are great options. Any place where the kids can have fun is ideal!
What should we wear?
Once you book your session I can give you a better sense of outfits, but generally soft colors that are coordinated but not matching are ideal!
