NYC Documentary Family Portraits

Candid, natural sessions capturing real family moments in New York City

Make it stand out

I create documentary-style family portraits that focus on genuine interactions in parks, homes, and all of your special favorite spots in NYC. I also shoot film with my vintage Hasselblad if you’d like. You get all of the hi-res files, and to make sure you preserve the special time in your lives, I help you create art for your home and for the grandparents too.

Why I photograph Families

My mom turned 80 and we all went to see her. After dinner we pulled out the pictures. This picture is something I found among the others. It shows that joy I felt as a child and the love my mom had for me.

Decades go by and you forget the feeling of being a child. You forget the bond. You forget the closeness. But then you find that one picture and it is deeply touching.

This is why I do what I do. I do it so families are reminded decades, even generations later that they were loved and that they’re part of something greater.

Important things to consider when booking your NYC Family Photo Session

  • Photo sessions take about an hour, give or take. I take pictures until I feel I’m done, or until your kids start going boneless.

  • It takes from 2 days to 2 weeks to get your pictures back.

  • I deliver between 25-50 pictures.

  • I will make additional edits to your favorites.

  • You will love and treasure them, and when your kids grow up, they will too.

  • I offer special promotions occasionally.
