No Session Fee Photography
What is a no session fee photographer? At Big Apple Portraits we guarantee you will love your portraits or you do not have to make a purchase. There is no upfront fee. No $350 spent before you walk in the studio. No cost to take the portraits. Most of our sessions are a no cost 30 minutes. After your session you join us for a reveal in the studio and only purchase the photos you love. All the package pricing is all-inclusive. Your session is free and your package is the one that fits your needs. There are no hidden costs or payments. We know kids are kids and families do not always function as planned. We want to take away the risk and stress to make sure that the smiles are the highlight of your session – not the fee.
What’s happening in the studio?
For the first time ever, we are offering Fall Harvest Mini Sessions. These will be held in Central Park on Sunday, October 16th, and Saturday, October 22nd from 9 am-4 pm. We will have a cute little fall set up in the park with pumpkins, apples, and corn with crates and more autumn décor. These 15-minute sessions are perfect for a quick family photo, the kids together, or even the kids in costume (especially since we will not be offering Halloween this year) Packages start at $145.
This year, we will be offering both outdoor and studio sessions for the holidays! We have a rented studio space on West 38th St for studio sessions with all new holiday sets/backgrounds like in the past. These sessions have limited dates! Our outdoor sessions will continue to be offered in Central Park or local city scapes. Packages start at $400
These 10-minute sessions are perfect for those who know exactly what they want from their holiday session. These mini sessions allow you to choose a colored background for close-ups of the kids and we’ll do some fun posing on our BRAND NEW Hot Cocoa backdrop with mugs and faux hot cocoa (marshmallows!). This set will not be available for Holiday Studio Sessions. Packages start at just $145.
We will be offering Central Park Sessions with Santa as well as one indoor studio date! Santa will be joining us November 12th & 13th and December 4th. These sessions in Central Park are taken in front of the holly trees with a full holiday set up. Studio Santa Sessions are in a rented studio space on our classic white backdrop.
