Instagram & creator photography · NYC

Open your camera roll. Find something worth posting.

Make one session useful beyond a single profile picture. We plan portraits, everyday scenes, and supporting details around the topics you share, then connect you with an NYC photographer who fits the work.

Confirm the final scope and quote before booking. Studio or venue rental, permits, styling, extra retouching, video, and extended usage are scoped separately where needed.

Does this fit your plans?

Send your preferred date, location and what you need delivered. Review relevant work from the proposed creative professional, then confirm the scope, delivery timing and quote before booking.

Free inquiry; no date reserved. Studio hire, permits, extra editing and usage beyond the agreed scope may cost extra and should be confirmed in the quote.

Ask about session availability

What we plan together

Start with the posts. Then plan the pictures.

Bring three things you regularly talk about and a few examples of your existing content. We can build a simple shot list with a purpose for each setup. The session is photography; reels, audio, and video editing need their own scope.

01

The recognizable portrait

A clean profile or introduction image, with a second expression and framing where the plan allows. Keep your face and clothing visible at small sizes.

02

The everyday scene

A real activity in a setting that suits your content. A cooking creator, designer, and neighborhood guide need different photographs; a laptop is not a universal prop.

03

The detail and transition

Hands, tools, a texture, or a wider view can support a carousel and keep every post from opening with the same portrait. Give these frames a place in the plan.

04

The cover and crop

Discuss vertical and horizontal uses before shooting. Leave space for text where needed and preview the intended crop so important details stay in frame.

Example: a neighborhood-food creator

Plan one introduction portrait, an approved venue scene, hands or food details, and a wider neighborhood frame. Photograph different distances rather than racing to five cafés. This is an example shot plan, not a promise of venue access or a specific number of posts. Ask the venue about photography permission before the date.

A setting that earns its place in the plan.

Choose the location around the photographs you need. A compact route leaves more time for working through the shot list. Indoor venues, studio access, and permits must be confirmed before the session.

SoHo and NoLita

For street-level portraits and a compact neighborhood route. Plan around foot traffic and avoid blocking shop entrances.

See planning details

Williamsburg waterfront

For a mix of open sky and neighborhood context. Account for wind and keep a nearby backup in mind.

See planning details

Your own workspace

Often the clearest setting for showing what you do. Share access, available space, and any restrictions before confirming the setup.

See planning details

Bring a little direction. We’ll work out the details.

A short content list

Write down the subjects you actually post about. Three clear themes are easier to plan than a folder of unrelated inspiration.

A manageable wardrobe

Choose outfits that work with the intended scenes. Discuss where you can change and pack layers so small variations do not require long breaks.

The file uses

Tell us if images need to work as profile pictures, carousel covers, website banners, or sponsor deliverables. Exact crops and usage belong in the agreed scope.

What happens after you inquire?

  1. 1. Confirm the brief. Share your goal, rough date, and the package you are considering. We clarify the scope and availability.
  2. 2. Review the photographer. Ask to see relevant work and discuss setting, approach, final files, and delivery timing.
  3. 3. Agree before booking. Confirm the written scope, quote, usage, payment terms, and any separate costs before securing the date.

The optional $100 priority deposit after intake is credited toward the session but does not reserve a date by itself. A date is secured only after availability, scope, the booking agreement, and the required booking retainer are confirmed in writing.

Questions before you book.

Are reels or TikTok videos included?

These packages are for still photography. Ask for a separate video scope if you need clips, sound, editing, or finished reels.

How many weeks of content will I get?

That depends on your posting schedule and how you use the gallery. We confirm the number of delivered images rather than promising a month of posts from every session.

Can I use the photos for a sponsored post?

Describe the brand, platforms, and intended use before booking. Sponsored, paid-ad, and third-party usage may need a different license from your own organic social posts.

Do you plan captions or manage my account?

The session covers photography and the agreed shot plan. Caption writing, publishing, and social account management are not included.

When will I receive the photographs?

Agree on the delivery date, selection process, and editing scope before booking. Mention a launch or application deadline in your inquiry so rush availability and any additional charge can be discussed.

What usage is included?

Consumer packages include personal use, while headshot and model packages include professional self-promotion. Business packages can include website, organic social, recruiting, sales, press, and internal use. Paid advertising, outdoor campaigns, resale, and third-party use are licensed separately.

Tell us what the photos need to do.

A short note and a rough date are enough to start. We can discuss the right scope before you choose a session.
