Tickets are booked and bags packed, itinerary picked out and now you’re looking through internet on fun things to do with your family on the trip.  How about adding a photo session for your whole family as the best souvenir you can bring back home?!

Here are few reasons why you should take some time between all the fun things you’re doing and book a destination photoshoot. 

My Top 7 Reasons To Hire A Vacation Photographer During Your Vacation In New York City

1. Get Kids,Dad, and Mom (a.k.a “Resident Photo-Taker”) the WHOLE family in the photos. 

You want photos of your whole family included in the photos, not just the kids and the dad, or the kids and the mom or an awkward family photo with a strangers finger in your family shot. As a photographer my job is to that that burden of being the designated photographer off your hands. AND to get you enough family portraits to hang on your walls or print for an album to remember this trip forever. So, this way you can be in the moment AND in the photos. 

2. No more selfies - just action!

Having fun with your kiddos, let them run and jump and have fun. Put away the selfie stick and your iPhone. Let ME capture all the action!

3. Capture New York City in photos

My job as a photographer is to use my eye and equipment to capture your family in perfect light, with beautiful in-between and posed moments. We will feature glorious NYC backgrounds WITH your family in them. In this session we choose the wonderful Brookyn Bridge Park with views of Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, we let the kids and the whole family relax by eating ice cream together, climb some rocks, throw rocks into the water in Pebble beach and climb, run and have fun in SO many variety of locations!

When you look at those photos years later it’ll feel like you’re back in New York!

4. Unplug and not worry about taking vacation photos

Camera phones have make us take too many photos if you think bout it. Instead of being in the moment we are constantly snapping especially when we are in new places. If you book a vacation photographer, so the pressure is off you! 

5. I will advise you on the best locations 

I am not a guide, however I will advise you on the best locations for your family photoshoot. Especially the most iconic areas of NYC. This way you’ll have NYC as your background for best family portraits. 

6. Meaningful travel souvenir

Some people get fridge magnets or keychains for them to remember their favorite vacations. How about instead you can preserve that vacation in a form of a family portrait? Everytime you pass by that photo on your wall It will remind you of the time you got to spend with your family in the greatest city in the world! (of course I’m being biased here ;))

7. My Photo sessions  are ACTUALLY FUN for the WHOLE family

During my sessions you get to play with your kids! No one is forced to say “cheese“. You get to walk around and admire the gorgeous views of your location. Spend time with your family. And just have FUN. 

I hope this beautiful family enjoyed their trip to NYC as much as I enjoyed capturing it. If you're planning on a vacation soon, I highly recommend hiring a professional photographer to preserve those memories for you. It's a great way to ensure the whole family can be in the photos, and it's the perfect souvenir.
