Holiday Family Photos in NYC
Celebrate your family and the magic of New York City with a relaxed outdoor holiday portrait session.
The holidays look better in New York.
There is something about New York City during the holidays: twinkling lights, decorated streets, cozy corners, big-city energy, and all the little moments that make the season feel magical.
Your family photos don't have to happen in front of a backdrop, but if your family feels more comfortable indoors, that can definitely happen.
If you’re more flexible and are open to a candid NYC adventure, let's head outside and make NYC part of the story. That’s what I specialize in.
I photograph families in natural, beautiful settings throughout New York City, creating holiday portraits that feel joyful, genuine, and connected to the city you love. Is it chaotic? Yes? Will there be a meltdown? Probably. Will you regret it? Definitely not.
Your family. Your city. Your holiday story.
New York gives us an incredible backdrop without needing to manufacture one. People come from all over the world just to experience it, and I’m incredibly inspired by the lights and vibe of NYC during the holidays.
We can wander through a neighborhood you love, find beautiful seasonal details, and stop for a few candid moments. I especially love to combine a mini in-home session with an outdoor adventure so that you have a memory of your apartment, because you may not be living there forever.
A holiday session that doesn't feel overly posed.
Family photography should leave room for your family to actually be yourselves.
Expect a session that is relaxed, family-focused, naturally guided, and designed around your family's personalities.
NYC is part of the story.
Depending on the feeling you're after, your holiday family session can take place in Central Park, the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, DUMBO, or another location that feels right for your family.
We'll choose the location based on the look you want, the ages of your children, and the kind of experience you want to have together. Wherever it is, we’ll find the New York holiday glow.
Yes, even the wiggly ones.
We'll let them move, explore, laugh, interact, and be themselves. I'll work with their energy rather than expecting them to behave like tiny professional models.
Some of the best photographs happen in between the perfectly posed moments.
Perfect for holiday cards and beyond.
Choose photographs that tell the story of your family right now, in this particular season of your lives.
Studio sessions
Outdoor NYC sessions are my specialty, but studio sessions are available by request for families looking for a more classic, controlled setting.
