Capturing your perfectly imperfect moments!

COVID-19 Vaccinated & Boosted

Indoor Family, Newborn Sessions, and Event Coverage will resume starting April 2021.

Session travel is limited to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island City. 

How do we book our session?

If you like what you see, reach out and say hello!  Once I know your due date and availability, we’ll figure out a day and time that works for you and your family. A $400 non-refundable deposit and signed contract are required to hold any date. The balance is due the day of our session.

Session pricing and how it works:

I don’t believe in holding images hostage for additional fees. Family session rates are inclusive. Your final image gallery will include a minimum of 50 retouched photos with personal usage and printing rights. Commercial, event, and editorial rates are separate.

Do you travel outside of NYC for sessions?

Occasionally. If you're interested in booking your session outside of NYC, please note the location in your initial inquiry. There is a travel charge of $300 for sessions outside of NYC which applies to areas in New Jersey, Long Island, Queens (excluding LIC), The Bronx, Washington Heights, and Westchester County.

What if we need to reschedule due to personal reasons or rain?

Not a problem! We'll figure out a date and time that works for us both. I welcome my families to reschedule their sessions Monday-Friday with no added fee. There is a $200 rebooking fee for sessions that are rescheduled within less than a 24-hour notice and a non-refundable deposit that applies to canceled sessions.

What if my little one has a complete and total meltdown during our session?

This happens more often than not, but kids bounce back quickly!

What if we need to reschedule our session on-site due to our little one having a hard day?

If your kiddo is having a tough time 30mins into our session, we’ll pause and touch base. Together we’ll decide if we should continue or reschedule a redo session for a later date. There is a $400 rescheduling fee for on-site rescheduling. Makeup sessions are only offered Monday-Friday.

Is there anything we can do to prep our toddler for our photoshoot together?

The key to a fun lovin’ session is to keep your kids in the loop! Count down the days until our photo shoot, and allow your little ones to help pick out their outfits. Also, decide on a meaningful location together and show your kids a photo of a camera. Yes, an actual camera! ( Most kids born after 2008 have never seen a real camera and only associate photos with iPhones). Weird- right?! All that to say, give me a heads-up if your toddler has difficulty adjusting to new faces and places. I’m more than happy to jump on a quick call to introduce myself and say hi before our photo session together. : ) 

Do you offer Mini Sessions?

I don't. I've found that mini-sessions are often too stressful for families with little ones under the age of five. The idea of a shorter discounted session is great in theory, but not so awesome if your toddler is having a hard day or needs additional time warming up to the camera. The family sessions I offer are 90mins. This amount of time will allow your family to take as many breaks as needed throughout your session without the added pressure of time.

What’s your favorite time of day to shoot?

New York City is at its best early morning, and so is your toddler!

I encourage my families to schedule their outdoor sessions when the light is soft and glowy. Mornings from 7:00-8:30 am are best to avoid heavy city foot traffic or late afternoon 5:30-7:00 pm to enjoy the magic hour glow. If we’re planning an indoor session, we’ll figure out the time of day you receive the best natural light within your home.

DUMBO and Central Park weekend sessions are only offered between 7:00-9:00 am.

When should we book our newborn session?

Most families prefer to schedule their newborn session 2-3 weeks post-delivery; however, not everyone feels ready to have their photo taken this soon, and that's okay too. Together we'll plan a tentative session date based on your due date allowing alterations if needed. 

How long until I see my images?

Full image galleries are delivered within 3 weeks from your session date. This turn around time also applies to holiday sessions.

Is there an extra charge if our session extends past our paid time frame?

No. I never schedule family sessions back-to-back and I always pad in extra time for each session. Family sessions typically don't go over one hour and newborn sessions don't normally extend past two. With that said, life does happen and if your little one is having a hard time we'll wait it out until we capture images we both love and feel good about! 

What should we wear?

I typically suggest cool and airy earth tones during the Spring and Summer and warmer earth tones during the winter months. But honestly, wear whatever you and your family feel beautiful and comfortable in. Batman capes, princess crowns, and dinosaur tees are all acceptable and encouraged.

Do you bring props to your newborn or family sessions?

I do not provide props during my sessions, but I always encourage my families to incorporate heirlooms or accessories that hold meaning to you!  

Can we include our dog/cat in our session? 

Yes, fur babies are always welcome.

Where do you like to shoot your sessions?

I like photographing my families in locations that are meaningful to them. We usually begin our session at home and then walk to a nearby park or playground. If you’re interested in scheduling your session in one specific location but are unsure where, email me! I know all the good spots!   

How does retouching work?

I do not offer heavy retouching beyond color, blemishes, scars, or bruises. 

Do you cover birthday parties and event coverage?

Small event coverage starts at $1250 and includes 2 hours of photography. If you're interested, please email me for more information.
