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.
