Photographer / New York City
Couples · Families · Maternity · Headshots · Events

I photograph people.Always natural, never staged.

Photos that feel like the day actually felt. The in-between moments, the real laughs, the light you remember. Made in New York, kept forever.

Selected Work

01

Couples

Two people, golden hour, and the city as your backdrop. Engagements, anniversaries, or just because.

Central Park · Golden Hour

02

Families

No stiff poses. I photograph your family the way it actually is: curious, chaotic, and full of life.

Newborn · Upper West Side

03

Maternity

Clean, quiet, and honest. A studio or natural light session built around you, before everything changes.

A headshot that looks like you on a good day. For LinkedIn, your team page, or the next chapter.

About

I'm Dylan. I make photos that outlast the trend cycle.

No heavy presets. No plastic retouching. No catalogue poses. I keep skin tones honest, shadows soft, and the focus on how the moment felt. If it would look dated in ten years, it does not make the cut.

"Dylan was phenomenal. We loved every minute of our couples shoot in Central Park. A fantastic eye for light and composition, just enough direction to keep things natural, and he delivered our gallery much sooner than expected. The black-and-white edits are especially beautiful. Highly recommend for timeless, candid NYC photos."

Kush Patel

★★★★★

"Such a wonderful experience. Dylan came prepared with a shot list, props, and even a Pinterest board for outfit inspiration. On the day, he was incredibly patient with our one-year-old, giving clear direction while letting natural moments unfold. The photos are absolutely beautiful, ones we'll treasure for years."

His eye for detail makes every photo feel authentic and full of life."
