At kyoS Photography, family is at the heart of everything we do, and capturing kids being kids is what we do best. Catching those precious moments on camera is where we get to help you create keepsakes for your lifetime and theirs.

Our photography sessions are designed to suit your lifestyle and budget, with three different types to choose from: the 30-Minute Studio Session, the 60-Minute Outdoor Session, and the 10-Minute Seasonal Mini Session. Each session is carefully designed for you with your kids and family in mind. Once you’ve scheduled your session, we’ll send you more information and helpful tips, along with a quick questionnaire to understand your style, preferred colors, props, wardrobe, and desired shot list.

Studio sessions take place in our Midtown studio space complete with professional lighting and backdrops.  We provide a variety of props and backdrops, and you’re more than welcome to bring any special items that hold sentimental value. For outdoor sessions, we can go to a location of your choosing but Central Park is our favorite. Throughout the portrait sitting, our experienced photographers capture genuine moments, interacting with everyone on a personal level. We believe in letting children be themselves, allowing their authentic personalities to shine.

After your session, you’ll have a separate reveal appointment to view your photos and place your order. We offer a unique advantage—there’s no additional session fee, just your reservation deposit which is applied to your chosen package, and you only need to choose the images you truly love. Our product options are diverse, ensuring you find the perfect artwork to adorn your home with love and cherished memories. Our turnaround time, depending on your product choice, is typically 7-21 business days after your viewing. Reveal appointments are REQUIRED for all our sessions and take place over Zoom. Plan for two appointments to make the most of this experience.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve adapted our studio practices to prioritize the safety and health of all our clients and staff. We ask that if you or anyone attending the photo session has been sick in the past 7 days, please let us know so we can help you to reschedule your appointment. We would much prefer to err on the side of caution regarding sicknesses. Our surfaces and props are diligently sanitized between all sessions, so we request you avoid unnecessary touching.

Here are our tips for a successful photoshoot 

(but let’s be honest, kids are still kids)

• • Try to arrive about 5-10 minutes early.  This will allow you to not feel rushed during your session. Do not arrive earlier than that to avoid impatient children or potential overlap with other clients
  • Create a packing list to help you prepare before your session.  See our recommended packing list below.
  • Bring snacks. Positive reinforcement is a wonderful trick for kids. Don’t forget the water.
  • Keep us informed. Let us know the details that will help your session run smoothly. Inform us about noise or light sensitivities and stranger anxieties or any special needs.
  • Don’t stress. Just enjoy the experience. Kids absolutely feed off your energy.  If you are stressed, so are they.  Let us do what we do best.

Preserving your family’s precious moments is our passion, and we are genuinely excited and looking forward to your session! If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call or text us at 212-600-4457.
