FAQ: How many people can join one photo session?
Short answer: As many as you want. Yep — no extra fees 😎
Families, friend groups, multi-gen crews, surprise add-ons — bring them all. We don’t charge per person.
Just two things we ask:
👉 Let our photographer know how many people will be joining
👉 Share the style or vibe you’re going for
Why? So they can guide you properly and set clear expectations for what we can capture within your booked time. More people = more moments, but also more planning (and we’re really good at that 😉).

Central Park in the snow is one of NYC’s best winter moments ⛄️✨
When snow falls in Central Park, the city slows down just enough to feel magical. Suddenly, everything looks softer, quieter, and straight out of a postcard.
❄️ Snow turns the park into a fairytale: Tree branches dusted in white, winding paths, frozen ponds — it’s instantly cinematic.
❄️ Photos feel extra special: Snow adds texture, contrast, and mood you just can’t fake. Every shot feels timeless.
❄️ It feels peaceful, not rushed: No agendas, no hurry. Just walking, breathing, and soaking in the moment.
Winter in Central Park isn’t just cold — it’s cozy, beautiful, and full of small moments that feel extra special.

“We had a great experience with Lexi as our family photographer.” — and this review pretty much sums it up.
Valerie B. shared her experience after their family session, and we couldn’t love it more:
“She took beautiful family photos and edited them very quickly. Lexi was friendly, professional, and very patient with our 5-year-old son, which made the whole session relaxed.
She promised to deliver the photos by Monday and kept her word exactly. We are really happy with the results and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and talented photographer.”
☑️ Patience with kids
☑️ A calm, relaxed session
☑️ Photos delivered on time (as promised!)
That’s exactly the kind of experience we want every family to have — stress-free, fun, and full of moments you’ll want to keep forever.
👉 Traveling with family and want photos that feel natural and joyful? Let’s capture it together!

Want photos that feel alive instead of stiff? Add personality — it’s the secret ingredient.
The best photo sessions aren’t about perfect poses — they’re about you showing up as yourself. Here’s how to bring more personality into your photos ✨⤵️
1️⃣ Move instead of posing: Walk, spin, dance, lean in — motion creates natural moments every time.
2️⃣ Talk to each other: Whisper a joke, tell a story, or say something only you two would understand. Instant real reactions.
3️⃣ Don’t hide your quirks: That laugh, that look, that little habit — those details are what make the photos yours.
4️⃣ React, don’t perform: Forget the camera’s there. Respond to the moment, not the lens.
5️⃣ Trust the process: The more relaxed you are, the more your personality shines — and the livelier the photos feel.
Personality turns photos into memories you can feel.
