Hello NY Friends!

We are excited to announce we’re booking a day of fall portrait mini sessions in Long Island this November! We are using the online scheduling feature again this year for sign-up convenience. As always, feel free to email us directly if you have any questions whatsoever.

NY FALL MINI SESSIONS

We are excited to offer one day of mini sessions in Long Island, NY this November 2nd* and providing an online sign-up link for ease of scheduling.

We’ll be using a beautiful and accessible outdoor location in Roslyn. This year's mini sessions will be 20 minutes in length - enough time to get that hero family portrait for your 2024 holiday cards, as well as a handful of individual portraits to help record this moment in your lives. (Limited spots available — sessions are booked on a first come, first serve basis.)

*Rain Date 11/3 — timing of afternoon sessions will shift an hour back to account for the end of daylight savings.

Investment & Delivery

PAYMENT

Upon booking your portait session through our online form, you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $75 that will be applied toward your session. The remaining balance of your session fee can be paid at the beginning of your portrait session or anytime prior to that. We accept cash, checks, Venmo, Zelle, etc. Send us an email if you have any questions.

IMAGE DELIVERY

We will have your fully edited, print-ready photos ready within two to three weeks after our session via a personal, password protected online gallery (like this one). From there you can view, download, share, or order print products through us, or proceed with your own preferred lab if you wish. You have full printing rights to these digital images.

FAQ

What about the weather?

A couple of days before your portrait session, we will check in with you to confirm the details. If the weather forecast looks like we will get rained out, we will reach out to you to discuss rescheduling. 

What time of day works best for photos?

The easiest time for lighting is almost always in the early morning or late afternoon/early evening. Because the sun is low, the light is softer and more flattering. We definitely realize that's not always possible for the little ones though, so we can be flexible. Also, if the weather is cloudy/overcast, mid-day lighting is much less of an issue. Let us know what time(s) are the most ideal for you and your family to meet and we'll go with that! It's most important that everyone is comfortable and happy, and we can work with the light!

What should we wear?

We know you will be doing your part to have yourself and everyone put together and perhaps you want to plan a fully or semi coordinated wardrobe (or just...clean), and we know that can be a big task! We are happy to help guide you if you have specific questions, but we tend to think that whatever feels natural for you and your family is best. (When in doubt, layers, textures and neutral or muted colors generally always photograph well, but truly, there are no real rules!) We should also note that depending on how the weather turns out and the location we decide on, dressing appropriately for the conditions makes sense for the pictures as well. It is important so that you all feel comfortable and have a fun afternoon as a family, and we'll handle the rest!
