As a cultural melting pot, Queens is a “United Nations” of cultures. Home to Astoria, you will find the location of the historical World’s Fair, the Queens Museum of Art and strong Greek tradition that will make for family moments and pictures to remember. Home to the Bronx Zoo, the Apollo Theatre and the New York Yankees, the Bronx provides a cultural experience for exciting family moments captured by your family photographer. Staten Island is a short ferry ride away from Manhattan, offering city life as well as miles of beaches to make your family photoshoot extraordinary. All this will be captured with memorable family photos that will provide lasting memories.

Portrait of lifestyle photographer Cindy Song, of little cindy photography

Hi! I'm Cindy, the girl behind the lens! I'm a New York Family Photographer and based in New York, NY, I work with clients all around New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Capturing love in all its forms is my passion, and I am so excited to share with you more about me and my work! I am a mom of two boys and a fur child. After seven years of dedicating my life to a Big 4 consulting firm, I realized that life was too short to not be doing something I truly enjoyed. I've always loved photography and the idea of being able to capture beauty through my lens. Before becoming a mom, I loved to help my friends take photos for their social media, and after becoming a mom, I became the de facto photographer for my kids and their friends at events like playdates, birthday parties, and holidays. As a mom, I truly felt the urgency of capturing and documenting the moments as a child grew, because these special moments passed all too quickly. Photographs provided a way for me to be able to manifest something tangible with which we can hold on to these fleeting moments. Joyful, carefree and storytelling — these are words often used to describe my photos. However, there’s so much more to a photo than how it looks! The moments and feelings are what I hope to capture. I hope the photographs bring the viewer back to the smells, sounds, and emotions of that memory. My images reveal timeless love and connection with a clean, modern aesthetic. I find beauty in the real and the ideal, and capture them where they meet. My sessions are laid back, allowing me to capture the most genuine and natural moments with your family.

Maria Hunter is a lifestyle photographer in NYC

I studied photography at the University of California - Santa Cruz and received a degree in art with a concentration in photography. In 2000 I moved to New York City and began an internship with portrait photographer Joyce Tenneson. Under her tutelage, I began to develop my own personal portrait style, a blend of photojournalism and relaxed portraiture. I shoot every family session personally and have always loved photographing children and families. I must admit, not surprisingly, with the birth of my first child in 2012, my love for photographing babies was taken to a whole new level! I have become obsessed with artistically capturing the story of my daughters’ childhoods. I have found that passion spills over abundantly to my amazing clients as I aim to create authentic, beautiful portraits full of real moments, laughter, and love.

Lifestyle portrait of Iris Feng of Mountain Leaf Photography

As a huge travel bug, Iris started her photography journey capturing the people and places she encounters during her travels and loved telling stories with her photos. Being a photographer wasn't something Iris always thought she would do, but becoming a mama changes things. When Iris welcomed her daughter to this world, Iris realized that time goes by much faster than what she's prepared for. Kids simply grow up too fast! Taking photos of those toothless smiles, chunky cheeks and tiny hands and toes help to savor those gone-in-a-flash moments that are truly special to us -- and I look forward to capturing those special memories for your family! Inspired by Susan's PanAmerica trip, Iris and her husband took a year long journey traveling around the world.

Susan and her husband embarked on a 6-month Pan-American adventure from Boston to Argentina by land.

Portrait of lifestyle photographer Yao Zhang holding her camera

I am the passionate storyteller behind the lens. Based in Secaucus, NJ, I work with clients around NJ and NY. I love watching movies and documentaries. In those great ones, each frame is a breathtaking photo. Wandering in museums and exhibitions is also something I enjoy a lot. I believe good photos show the real and emotive moments that speak to the heart. In order to achieve that, I would step back most of the time and let your story shine. My sessions are laid back, so you can feel comfortable and bring your personality out. Different lights, weather, and setting create different moods. I’m happy to photograph you at any time of the day – full sun or golden hour; under different weather conditions – overcast, bright sun, rain, or snow; and at any location you feel comfortable with – a bustling downtown, a beautiful park or simply stay at home. I enjoy them all.

New Jersey Lifestyle Photography by Siqi Li of Momo Shot Studio

As a proud mom to a boy and a girl, and a loving owner of an 80lb Samoyed dog, I understand the importance of capturing and preserving life's precious moments. My love for photography runs deep in my family - my grandmother was a talented photographer who inspired me to follow in her footsteps. And after experiencing the regret of not having enough photos to remember the special moments from my children's early days, I'm on a mission to help others capture and cherish their memories too. I love to create images that showcase the love, joy, and unique personalities of each and every family I work with. I strive to bring out the best in my clients and capture their special moments in a creative and spontaneous way.

Philadelphia, PA Lifestyle Photographer Colleen Stepanian

I've contemplated long and hard every single day since I've picked up a camera about why I do what I do and what motivates me. I think about what it means to me and about what it means to other people. There are a few reasons, some have changed, some haven't. The few that drives them all are human connection, relationships, and vulnerability. I feel I have a responsibility to photograph present reality for the sake of human history and future nostalgia. It is very easy for me to connect with people, whether it be my clients or a stranger on the street. I love knowing that through my chosen medium I am able to gain new perspectives of this life, one person at a time. I feel honored and blessed to be able to wake up every morning and tell stories through photographs.

Meg Brock is a Philadelphia, PA lifestyle photographer

After graduating from nursing school, I spent two years working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the prestigious Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Feeling a strong call and desire to help others, in June 2007 I left my job in Philadelphia. I took my first trip across the Atlantic Ocean and spent a year volunteering as a nurse in Monrovia, Liberia, onboard the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, with the medical charity, Mercy Ships. While in Liberia, I began writing about my experiences for several newspapers and magazines in the Philadelphia area. The editors needed images to illustrate my stories, so I ordered my first DSLR camera and began learning how to use it. I quickly realized the power and significance of an image. A single image could transcend distance, time, and situation, to communicate a thought, feeling, or emotion, that was universally recognized in the human experience.

Tanushree Vaidya, a Lifestyle and Family Portrait Photographer

Hi! I am Tanushree.

Shooting weddings has been an incredible journey since I first started in 2012. It has taken me to over 14 countries across the world and I’ve been lucky to witness so many beautiful stories firsthand.
