NYC Family Sessions

NYC Family Sessions offer something a little extra special.  

A historic street in the incredibly photographic New York City, a vintage checker cab, and a loving family all combined into one.  So COOL, so FUN, so PERFECT!   Sometimes you just have to cross the river.  NYC Family Sessions are so worth the trip from NJ.  There are so many different kinds of exciting and photo worthy locations for Family Sessions.  This happens to be one of my favorites.  What an experience.  Don’t you want to sit in the driver’s seat?  Lady Gaga even rode in this gorgeous piece of history.  The list of celebrities who have been in this cab is endless.

It’s never too early to start planning your Family Sessions for 2021.  Spring, Summer and Fall are the most popular months and dates fill up quickly.

I wish I could stress how much I encourage and love family sessions.  How many of you have photos with your lovely littles?  I honestly don’t have enough. Why? I am always the one taking them (as are most moms).

When I look back at family photos from my childhood, I have two images with my parents and siblings together. Just two!  I’m betting that I am not alone.  I encourage you to think of family images in a different way and with an additional purpose.  We love to post pics of our children all over social media, we all do it.  One day, when your children are young adults and become parents, they will ask for images of their childhood with YOU.  They will be making memories with their kids while re-living theirs.  So let’s not make the same mistake as past generations and let’s celebrate the family in photos, the ENTIRE family, and capture the moments that will be cherished when your children are old enough to truly appreciate it.

There is nothing greater than a capture of a loving family laughing and smiling together.

*Please note, there are additional rental fees associated with the vintage checker cab.  My fees do not cover these fees.

About Jacqueline

I am so proud to say that 2021 marks by 11thAnniversary as a small business in New Jersey.  I specialize in modern portraiture for newborns, maternity, family and children (including babies, communion, cake smashes, and high school seniors). I capture sessions throughout New Jersey, NYC or in my studio in Cranford, NJ.  Studio Sessions are for newborns, babies, small children, and fine art portraiture for older children/teens.  I offer traveling sessions for families (out of state clients and vacation destinations) and commercial business throughout the US.

As a small business for over a decade, I have been honing my craft while capturing life, landscape and stage photography for over 35 years.  This is not my “hustle” or hobby. It’s so much more. It’s my livelihood and my labor of love.  I pride myself in providing my clients with the best quality images, products and service. I understand the importance of memories and skillfully capturing them.  I work under the philosophy of “I capture for my clients what I would want for myself.”

My captures have graced newsprint, magazines, online social media and television shows such as US Weekly (multiple times), BET, The New York Times, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, The Wendy Williams Show, and USA Network on The Cromarties among many others.

 

I LOVE NY.

Family is LOVE

Family is LOVE!  Now let’s capture it!

Now reserving Family Sessions for 2021.

It’s never too early to start planning your Family Sessions.  Spring, Summer and Fall are the most popular months and dates fill up quickly.

I know COVID threw a wrench into family travel plans…time we need to unwind and spend quality time with each other.  But the one important thing COVID reminded us of is that family is LOVE every day of the year.  We don’t have to wait for vacation or the weekends.  The little things have become so much more important.  Our priorities have been realigned and that’s a good thing.

Now, take time to capture that family love, plan your first family photography session.  Capture the love and showcase it by making a beautiful coffee table book for you and your children to look at over and over.  It’s quite frankly one of the best gifts you can leave them some day – captures of their mom and dad cuddling and having fun with them.  Powerful memories.
