Frequently Asked Questions

  • They don't have to. As a New York City family photographer, some of my favorite images happen when children are simply being themselves. My candid approach focuses on genuine connection rather than perfect behavior, which often leads to more meaningful family photographs.

  • Absolutely. Dogs are family too. Many of my New York City family photography sessions include pets, and I love creating images that capture the relationship between families and their dogs.

  • Dogs don't need to sit still to create beautiful photographs. Family photo sessions with dogs are some of my favorites because they add personality, movement, and authentic moments. I regularly photograph families and pets throughout Central Park, Riverside Park, and neighborhoods across Manhattan and Brooklyn.

  • Comfortable clothing that feels like you. I'll send a style guide before your session.

  • Family photography sessions take place throughout New York City, including Central Park, Riverside Park, the Upper West Side, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo Tribeca, Westchester and other favorite neighborhood locations. Together we'll choose a setting that feels natural to your family.

  • My style is candid, natural, and documentary-inspired. Rather than heavily posed portraits, I focus on genuine moments, real connection, and the relationships that make your family unique. The result is a collection of photographs that feel authentic and timeless.

  • Item Finding the right family photographer is about more than beautiful images—it's about finding someone who can help your family feel comfortable enough to be yourselves.

    As an experienced New York City family photographer, I've photographed families across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond. Whether we're exploring Central Park, the Upper West Side, Brooklyn Bridge Park, or your own neighborhood, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel authentic, joyful, and timeless.

    I believe the best family photographs aren't perfectly posed—they're filled with laughter, movement, connection, and the little moments that become priceless with time.description

“Kind Words from NYC Families

Over the past 15 years, I've photographed hundreds of New York City families, children, newborns, and dogs throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Central Park, Riverside Park, and the Upper West Side.

Susie is fantastic! She photographed my family when my son was 3, 6, and 12 months old. I was worried it would be awkward or difficult with a little one, but Susie made us feel super comfortable and was great with my son. And best of all our photos are absolutely beautiful! I can’t recommend her highly enough!” - Romany Webb
