I wish I could give more than 5 stars for these amazing artists! I was initially a bit hesitant about whether it would be worth it to spend the time and money to take maternity portraits; a dear friend encouraged me to take the leap, and I am so so glad I decided to and even more delighted that I found Glow Portraits. If you are considering it and can budget for it, let me be the one to encourage you to DO IT. Thank me later :) Communication was superb. Sophie responds very quickly to questions via phone and email from before booking to session prep to post shoot follow up. Anabella, our photographer, was incredible. She made the experience a complete pleasure, and gave very precise directions that made for simply stunning shots. I often feel a bit awkward on camera, but somehow she got both me and my love posing like pros. The makeup artist also did a truly beautiful job. The proofs and finished images are beyond gorgeous. It was so tough to choose our favorites (we ended up buying some extra images because there were too many we loved). If you're looking at the galleries on their site (like I was) and wondering whether your images can possibly come out as ethereal and magical, the answer is YES. 6/5 stars for the amazing team at Glow Portraits. Thank you for everything!!! read more

WOW, what an incredible experience from start to finish. I booked a maternity session, but unfortunately, my daughter arrived two months early and I had to cancel it. I was heartbroken -- not just because I missed the chance to document my pregnancy, but because everything felt so overwhelming at the time. But what truly blew me away was the kindness and care Sophie showed. She continued to check in on me and my baby as time went on including throughout our NICU journey. A year later, I reached back out to book a baby session -- and it turned out to be even more special. Not only did I finally get the experience and memories that I'd dreamed of, but I got to share it with my daughter who is now healthy, thriving, and full of life. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking, and I will be forever grateful to Sophie and the team at glow portraits for turning such a difficult chapter in my life into beautiful memories that we can cherish forever. read more

Wonderful experience. I had maternity photos done here. The photos are absolutely beautiful and they made me feel completely comfortable during the shoot. Highly recommend read more

Love my portraits - captured such beautiful moments. Everything was professionally done and I felt comfortable throughout.

Would highly recommended 10/10! I did my maternity and newborn pictures and I loved them both. For my maternity shoot the photographer was so helpful in instructing me on how to pose to get the best pictures. I'm Terrible with posing and she made me feel so comfortable and made me feel beautiful. I also chose the package to include my makeup to be done as well. My makeup came out beautiful and just the way I wanted it. The staff is very professional and really do try there best to make you look fabulous. For the Newborn pictures the photographer was soooo patient with my baby and took the most adorable pictures ever. They will now be my go to studio for pictures! read more

I highly recommend doing maternity and newborn photoshoots with Glow Portraits!! Everything went so smoothly, the photos turned out amazing, and I was really happy with the quick turnaround time. Sophie is so responsive in helping answering questions and organizing the photoshoot logistics. For my maternity photoshoot, Adiee was great about listening to what I wanted for my makeup and hair, and Anabella helped talk me through the poses and which angles were most flattering. For the newborn photoshoot, I was so impressed with how Maria was able to calm our crying baby, and help calm us parents as well ;) I will treasure these photos forever! read more

I never did maternity portraits with my first pregnancy, and suddenly felt compelled to do them towards the tail end of my second. Sophie was super responsive to my questions leading up to the appointment, and Flor and her assistant were FANTASTIC during my photo session. I wanted to feel like a goddess and do something to savor this incredible phase my body is going through, and they met my expectations and then some. Before I signed up, I was really debating whether it was worth the expense, but I'm so so happy that I did it. I signed up for the 1-hour session, and I was really impressed with how much we were able to cram in, as well as how many outfit selections they had. I also loved the touches of the fuzzy slippers and chocolates in the studio to make me feel comfortable and energized :) read more

Want to feel empowered, glamorous, and stunning? If the answer is a resounding "YES", then you must work with this studio. My friend took gorgeous pregnancy photos and I reached out to ask if they worked with non pregnant clients. Sophie kept me on their mailing list and I found out about their Boudoir photos. What a treat! Flora played Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Lizzo while Ana/Anna did her thing. Anna made my skin glow and Flora posed me in a myriad of ways. Flora made me feel comfortable and ensured that I kept my shoulders back for a confident look. Then I got my photos! OH MY WORD!!!! They surpassed my expectations! Thank you for such an incredible experience and for creating wonderful looks. read more

Amazing experience and such beautiful photos!! We are so thankful to have captured such sweet memories of our baby girl! The whole team was responsive, thorough and accommodating. We also got the chance to relax a bit in the studio in the lounge area :). read more

I initially wasn't planning to do maternity photos, but changed my mind pretty late into my pregnancy, and am glad that I did! My initial search led me to glow, and coincidentally, a friend also had her maternity shoot with glow the prior year. Hearing about her positive experience with them made me feel very confident in booking. Sophie made the process extremely easy -- she got in touch very quickly after my submitted my request, we finalized a date, and she was very responsive in answering my many questions leading up to the session. I had a great experience for the shoot itself and it was a ton of fun getting glammed up for the first time since my wedding a few years ago. Jessica and Adiee kept me comfortable while doing my makeup (they also put some volume in my hair, even though I didn't opt for the full hair package, which was very nice since I'm terrible at styling my own hair!). Anabella kept the shoot itself fun and provided a ton of guidance on posing for me and my husband. She also kept checking in with me to make sure I liked the way the photos were turning out as we progressed. We had a great time during the shoot, so much so that we booked our newborn shoot with them before we left! The turnaround time for the proofs was very quick, and from there, the final photos were delivered within a week. Even before getting the final photos, I was already in love with the proofs -- I don't know what magic Anabella worked, but as another reviewer said, the photos made us look like we belonged in a magazine. The experience for our newborn shoot was just as seamless and fun. Sophie brought everything needed for our in-home shoot, set everything up, and kept our baby comfortable while taking the photos. The turnaround time for the proofs was extremely quick, and similarly, I was already in love with the proofs when we saw them, which made it even harder to choose our favorites for the final gallery! The final portraits were delivered within a week and we still can't get over how great they look. Sophie, Anabella, and the rest of the team at glow did an amazing job capturing this special and fleeting time in our lives; I'm so glad that we have these beautiful photos that we'll be able to keep forever! read more

Glow was absolutely amazing. My wife and I felt like supermodels and looked like them on camera too! Their knack for giving clear feedback and instructions to get the perfect shot was amazing, effective yet kind. Needless to say, we booked the newborn shoot before leaving the building for the maternity shoot :) read more

I had such a beautiful experience having my first maternity shoot done at Glow Portraits with Flora! Jessica did an amazing job with my makeup and was extremely helpful guiding me with positions and angles while Flora photographed me and my husband. I was uncomfortable going in knowing I would be posing practically naked with sheer veils in some shots but Flora made me super comfortable in my own skin and made the whole experience fun. The shots of course were nothing short of beautiful! read more

Thanks so much to Glow Portraits for creating beautiful memories for me and my family! I was very self conscious due to all the natural body transformations during pregnancy and wasn't sure if the photoshoot was the right thing to do, but I am so happy I did it!! Annabelle is a beautiful photographer, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I really appreciated how she guided me through posing. It took the whole guesswork out of the equation and helped maximise the time we had. Another reason why this studio stands out is communication. You can expect no payment issues, clear invoices and receipts; all my questions were answered promptly, all the editing feedback was addressed, I knew exactly what to do next and what to expect! I highly recommended the studio and I am sure I will be back! read more

I had the absolute best experience at Glow for my maternity photo shoot, Sophie and her team was extremely attentive to my vision and my photos came out absolutely amazing. Lisa the photographer was equally amazing, she made me so comfortable, it was organic and I didn't feel awkward. She took so many amazing shots, it was so hard to choose from the gallery. I will definitely be back for newborn baby photos, and I will be recommending them to all my friends to capture such a special time in their lives. So happy I found Glow! Thank you for capturing this beautiful moment in our lives! read more

We had wonderful experiences for both my maternity and newborn portraits with glow portraits. They are so thoughtful in all aspects. The maternity studio portrait is such a luxury experience and I really enjoyed the entire process. They provide gorgeous wardrobe and silks for maternity portraits. Annabelle is so good at making maternity portraits stylish and she's able to capture the most beautiful moment of pregnancy. Newborn portrait was done at my home and Maria is so professional and she's really good at soothing newborn. The newborn wraps and accessories they provided are so timeless and look gorgeous on the baby. Believe or not, we had our 5 year old boy joined both portraits, their professionalism made me relieve from my worries and stress and we captured the great family portraits for these precious moments. I highly recommend this studio to anyone and we will surely return to capture memories again for the next milestone read more

glow portraits - Loving my maternity photos - Session Photography Near Me - New York, New York

I couldn't imagine more beautiful maternity photos for myself! I am so pleased with my experience from start to finish. Excellent communication, amazing hair/makeup, and photography. I selected the signature package which included hair/makeup. The stylist was very talented and did an amazing job catered toward my requests. The photographer, Annabella, was a delight to work with. She took time to go over my ideas and preferences for the types of images I would like and brought exactly what I wanted to life, but better! It was difficult to select my top images because they were all so beautiful and the final editing job just made them out of this world. Thank you!! read more

Had a great experience at every turn. Sophie made all the business stuff super convenient and easy, from scheduling to purchasing. Annabella was a great photographer that made even a person that had never taken photos before feel comfortable and relaxed enough during the shoot to capture some great shots that were exactly what I was looking for. Hope to use Glow again in the future. Thanks! read more

My photos are absolutely stunning! They showcase the beautiful curves of my 37 weeks pregnant body while hiding the unnecessary 20 pounds I put on. Each graph whispers the greatness of motherhood - joy, excitement, persistence, and grateful. The whole experience with Sophie, Annabela and Adi was comfortable, caring and so much fun. Will definitely recommend this to others. read more

I am so happy I went with glow portraits for my maternity photos. I hesitated at first due to the cost, but trust me it was completely worth it. Anabella and Sophie were extremely responsive with my email questions/requests, and Jessica did a beautiful job on my makeup. I don't consider myself a very photogenic person, and was nervous about how to pose, but Anabella put me totally at ease. She gave great advice and instructions throughout the shoot, and made me feel like a beautiful mama. I'm thrilled with the final product. I can't recommend them enough, and I'll definitely use them again in the future! read more

Taking a newborn anywhere can be difficult as it is so we were apprehensive at first about having photos done. The studio was spotless, inviting, comfortable and had sanitizers everywhere. Specific directions were given so that we could have optimal photo time. Sophie was our photographer and she was amazing with our daughter. Following all COVID protocol, she still managed to create the images we fell in love with. She was gentle but efficient and our photos came out so beautiful. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Glow Portraits for our maternity shoot. I was pretty nervous about the shoot, since it isn't something I'm used to doing - but they were very professional/ informative and our photographer made us feel comfortable the day-of by talking us through the entire process. I really appreciated the turnaround time (we got our proofs and final, edited selections a week apart). Most importantly, we absolutely love how our pictures came out and are glad we went with this studio to capture such a special time in our lives. Thanks so much Glow Portraits! read more

I absolutely love the work Glow did for my maternity photo shoot!!! They're very accommodating and believe me I am very picky with photos! I'm obsessed with how it all ended up and thrilled that I made the choice to go with Glow studios! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Glow Portraits. Annabella was a very professional photographer who was thorough, great at coaching me through shots and poses, and had a good eye for wardrobe while still letting me pick out what I wanted/was comfortable in. She also did a great job of explaining the day. Adikaira was the hair and makeup stylist and did an amazing job at both my hair and makeup that made me feel comfortable. She was also very timely with her work on me and I appreciated her taking the time to touch up my hair when it wasn't initially included. I received my photos back and they all look so amazing! I would highly recommend Glow. read more

I can't say enough good things about Glow Studio. I went in nervous I wouldn't get any good shots but after a few snaps I realized the photos were going to be great. They helped me pose and made sure I hit my best angles. I was shocked at how amazing I looked even in the proofs. It also was a ton of fun working with the team and they made me feel so comfortable and beautiful even at 36 weeks pregnant. They were 100% professional and went above and beyond to make my session a great experience. I'm so happy! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this studio! From my first inquiry, Sophie was so fast and great at answering all my questions and helping me schedule my session. Then Jessica worked her magic with my makeup and Anabella is a true artist!! She made me feel so comfortable and was so amazing and patient in directing all our poses! They have a great variety of fabrics and dresses which made everything even easier as I didn't have to worry about buying dresses that I would probably never wear again. The pictures came out AMAZING and the turnaround was super fast! Highly recommended! read more

Annabella really made me feel pretty and gave me confidence. She really understand the angles of the pregnant body to make my pictures come out superb. I really appreciated that she can see when I needed a break (being pregnant is tiring). I forgot the name of the glam artist but she was also on point making sure my hair and makeup stayed fresh. I would highly recommend this company as its well worth the investment. Studio is clean and very pretty. They have everything you need down to the bra. read more

We had such a great experience with glow portraits. Sophie was such a calming presence with the stresses that come with being postpartum with a newborn. Her props are so gorgeous and adorable. We had a hard time picking 35 digital photos because we loved so many. The family shots were also great -- the editing and posing were perfect. Would highly recommend for your newborn photos! read more

I highly recommend Glow Portraits if you are thinking of doing a maternity photoshoot!! Last minute at 32 weeks, i decided to do a photoshoot. I wasnt sure if there would be any availability but was lucky! From contacting Sophie to getting hair and makeup by Jessica to having my portraits taken by Anabella the experience was awesome! The day of the photoshoot Jessica & Anabella were professional yet sweet, caring and made me so comfortable as I could be. They made sure i was hydrated, had snacks, and took breaks in between the photo shoot if needed. I had an amazing & fun experienxenof being glamoured up for the day. I had so many compliments from friends & family how amazing the pictures looked! I highly recommend Glow Portraits to anyone who is definitely thinking of taking maternity pictures!! read more

We had such wonderful experiences with Glow Portraits for my maternity portraits and both of our sons' newborn photos. Sophie and her staff were super pleasant and professional to work with. They made our experiences both at the studio and at our home very calm and fun. Our toddler warmed up to Sophie right the way during our newborn photography for his baby brother. We are so thankful for all the beautiful photos Sophie took and are excited to display more of them in our home. We highly recommend Glow Portraits!! read more

My photos came out better than I could have hoped for! Annabella was so attentive and listened to my MANY requests. My husband and I went for maternity photos and even with the pandemic we felt very safe and taken care of. I recommend Glow Portraits a million times over for maternity photos! read more

I'm probably not saying anything the other reviewers haven't already said, but I had a fantastic experience with Glow! Made a last-minute decision to do a maternity shoot and I'm so glad I did. Sophie was quick and responsive when it came to coordinating, and I had so much fun the day of the shoot with Florencia. The proofs look awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing the final edited photos. They are true professionals and am already looking forward to doing another shoot with the baby soon. read more

This place is beyond me! I literally was so stressed the morning of doing my hair and then my nails. I felt so crappy granted I was 7.5/8 months pregnant. I was exhausted and crying I almost cancelled the photoshoot. When I got there Annabella made me feel so comfortable and the hair stylist I forgot her name fixed my mess ups. And I felt so much better before and during the photoshoot . Then I got my pictures a bit early because my mom was driving me crazy for them and Annabella was able to fulfill that. It was for my surprise baby shower. All my friends and family loved it and I even got my friends to go there which she loved her photos as well! I will definitely be going back for my next child. Thank you so much read more

The pictures came out amazing! Anabella was my photographer and she was very attentive and listened to my requests. I was able to get the exact look I wanted and she also edited the pictures the way I asked her to. I am so happy with how flattering she made my body look, especially at a time when you don't feel confident in your own body. The studio is very pleasant and intimate and not a minute is wasted so you get your money's worth. I am very happy with the quality and results and would highly recommend to others! read more
