hanging out with Anh felt like I was just taking pics with my bestie in the city.
I am normally pretty awkward around strangers (especially if they’re taking pictures of me), but hanging out with Anh felt like I was just taking pics with my bestie in the city. She helped me feel relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful. Anh’s attention to detail and the way she takes time to understand you and your vision is such an incredible quality, and my photos turned out GORGEOUS because of this.

Anh was an absolute pleasure to work with.
I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture such an important moment in my life. From the beginning she made me feel comfortable, understood my style, and brought my whole vision to life. She has such an amazing eye for detail and truly knows how to capture someone’s personality and style through her work. The photos came out so much better than I could have ever imagined and I’m so grateful I got to work with her for my graduation photos. Highly recommend!

All around wonderful experience.
Professional upfront, timely, she prepped, worked hard to know what I wanted, and I genuinely had a great time during the photo shoot chatting and changing fits. And of course, the most important part, the pictures were amazing. Definitely the best pictures I have of myself. Family printed out the pics, replaced all my socials and LinkedIn, and feel like I have a stockpile for the future. Could not recommend more. Thank you Anh!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a graduation session?
Packages start at 1 hour. Depending on the number of locations you want to hit up (think Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge or maybe your campus) and outfit changes, I have packages that go up to 3 hours to cover all your needs!
Should I book an individual or group session?
It all depends on your preferences! Group college senior photo sessions can be a great way to get a variety of photos with friends with each of you getting a few individual photos, whereas an individual session is all about you! We will be able to prioritize your preferences to make sure the session turns out exactly as you envision.
During your consultation call, we can discuss the best option for you if you're still unsure as to which direction you'd like to go. I'm a firm believer in guiding clients towards the package that best fits their needs and not pushing you for one that doesn't, so you'll get my honest opinion.
What are the best photo spots for NYC graduation sessions?
Some of my favorite places to shoot NYC senior pictures include:
• Central Park (especially Bethesda Fountain & Terrace and Bow Bridge)
• Washington Square Park (perfect for NYU grads)
• Columbia University campus (the Sundial, Low steps, Scholar's Lion, and more)
• Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise
• SoHo for an editorial vibe with cobblestone streets
We’ll choose what fits your style best, and I’ll guide you through the timing and route so it all feels easy.
Can you help with locations?
Definitely. My Client Experience Guide (sent after you book with me) has location suggestions from Washington Square Park to Bow Bridge, Columbia University to SoHo with links to galleries that have photos for you to look at. I usually defer to you to pick which locations you want to go to, but I'm always happy to provide input.
When is the best time of Day to take photos?
In New York City, it really depends on the location. Most of the time, sunrise will be the best option to avoid crowds (or at least minimize them) at popular spots such as Washington Square Park, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Sunrise and sunset will have different "looks," so it will come down to your priorities with crowds vs lighting (both are great!). As always, it also depends on how cloudy or sunny it is that day.
The exact timing of sunrise and sunset sessions will depend on the time of year, but typically I try to start sunrise sessions 30–60 minutes after sunrise. With sunset sessions I try to end about 45 minutes before actual sunset since city buildings tend to block the sun!
What happens if there's bad weather?
If there is a forecast of bad weather or the weather turns on us during the session, we can reschedule. Do not worry about the forecast if it's more than 3 days out because it can change quickly. I will work with you 1–2 days before your session date to figure out a new game plan if the forecast isn't looking great. I'm pretty flexible with this and will work with you for weather reschedules!
What should I bring to my session?
At a minimum: comfortable walking shoes, water, snacks, makeup to touch up (if you plan to wear makeup), and of course, your cap and gown. I also encourage you to bring props for your grad portraits!
When you book a graduation session with me, you will get access to my Client Experience Guide that outlines everything in detail to help you prepare for your session.
Can I bring pets?
ABSOLUTELY. If you do want to bring pet(s), I just ask that there is someone who can help with watching them when they're not in photos, giving snacks, maybe grabbing their attention for photos, etc.
What to Expect From Your NYC Graduation Session
A little guidance goes a long way.
From choosing locations to figuring out what to wear, you don't have to plan your grad session alone.
Once you inquire, we'll talk through your ideas and what you're envisioning, whether that's over email or an optional call. I'll help you choose locations, plan around the best light, and create a session that feels like you.
After booking, you'll receive my Client Experience Guide with everything you need to feel prepared.
When it's time for your session, I'll guide you through the poses and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera so the photos feel like you.
