Best Portrait studios in United States

Great experience with Leslie for my headshot. She creates a relaxing atmosphere and get's to know what you'd like to convey. She had great suggestions and I was very happy with the results!

Fantastic photographer!! Not only do her shots look amazing but she is fun to work with and really helps you to look your best and let your personality shine! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mariana!!

Leslie is a consummate professional, puts you at ease, is creative and builds confidence. Most importantly, she produced a wonderful result. By the end of our work session, I did not want to leave. Her kindness, some music and her expertise were utterly inviting. I cannot recommend her more highly! Happy photo snapping!

Working with Oleksandra for our daughter’s baptism was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to the craft makes her a standout choice in the world of photography. We wholeheartedly recommend Oleksandra to anyone seeking extraordinary family photographs and to capture unforgettable memories.

Having your picture taken by O is simply golden! She makes it fun and you just get into the groove and the results are amazing!

Working with O was an exceptional experience. My sister and I came to her for both individual headshots and photos together. O spent a lot of time with us to ensure we got the all the shots we wanted, and was very easy to work with. We highly recommend for your headshot needs!

Oleksandra did a great job, from the beginning she was very responsive and tried to accommodate our schedules. We really like our photos, she is very professional.

Before visiting Leslie Kahan Photography, my LinkedIn profile picture was just a cropped zoom screenshot—a far cry from the professional image I needed to showcase my skills and aspirations. But thanks to Leslie's expertise and warm guidance, that's all changed.
From the moment I stepped into her studio, Leslie made me feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a truly enjoyable one. She effortlessly guided me through the process, infusing it with fun and relaxation, all while ensuring we captured the perfect shot.
The result? An absolutely stunning headshot that not only reflects my professionalism but also captures my personality. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
If you're looking to elevate your professional image, look no further than Leslie Kahan Photography. Trust me, you won't regret it. This headshot is not just a picture; it's the beginning of exciting new opportunities, all thanks to Leslie's talent and expertise. Highly, highly recommended!

I am so happy we got to book our maternity and newborn photo shoots with Okeksandra. She is simply AMAZING! Not only she is an amazing photographer and very professional, but she is also super sweet. For our maternity shoot we didn’t know what to expect and were a little nervous, but the day of the photo shoot she made me feel beautiful, coached us on every pose, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She never rushed us, and she made sure that I took breaks and was not tired throughout the session. For our newborn photo shoot she showed us again how professional she is. She was very patient with our little one, made sure we took breaks for our little one to eat and never rushed us.
I am so happy we got to work with her to capture one of the best moments of our lives. Thank you Oleksandra!

I was long overdue for an updated headshot and I was very fortunate to find Leslie! Her direction and attention to detail during the session were top notch. I was also impressed by her responsiveness and quick turnaround times. I’m very happy with how the photos came out and strongly recommend Leslie for any headshot needs!

O Zhang is the best photographer you can find, extremely professional and easy to work with. If you need headshots, do not hesitate to give her a call. You will be very happy.

Words cannot express the most amazing experience I had at my maternity photo shoot with Olekandra. Not only was she a professional in what she does, but she knew exactly how to capture everything. I wanted in these special photos and moment in my life. I’m also very happy and satisfied with the quality and prints. I definitely would recommend Olekandra to all and use her again. Stupendous & outstanding job!

I had the best experience with Oleksandra! She was great with my boys and the images were stunning. Her technique and final editing process is just magic. So happy with our pictures.

Working with O for my headshots and brand image shots was an exceptional experience. Despite it being my first time for the professional shoot, she made the entire process effortless and enjoyable.

O professionally directed the entire session, seamlessly capturing both indoor and outdoor shots (despite the windy conditions). Highly recommend!

Where do I even begin? From the moment I had the initial call with Oleksandra she was professional, knowledgeable and lovely. The studio is beautiful and every detail is well thought out. From the baby “shhhh” machine to the gorgeous wardrobe that was supplied for my family’s Photoshoot. Oleksandra was so great with our 3 month old babygirl and we already spoke about future photoshoots. We have received so many compliments on our photos and a common comment is “these must have been done by a professional”. IYKYK there is a difference between a photographer and an artist. Oleksandra is an artist who takes immense pride in her work and it is shown in her work. My family couldn’t be more happier with the entire experience and look forward to the next Photoshoot. Highly recommend!

For me, having a headshot taken ranks up there with getting a root canal in terms of things I'd like to avoid. Leslie is obviously a good technical photographer, but more importantly is engaging, friendly and put me at ease. I would highly recommend her.

We had the most amazing experience getting newborn photos done here! The studio has a bunch of different backgrounds, clothes and props. The photograph and his assistant were very friendly, patient and great at handling our daughter. We got the photos back quickly and they were GORGEOUS!

Leslie did an amazing job with my head shot. She is very knowledgeable and really helped me find the perfect pose. I could not be happier with the result!

Leslie did a fantastic job with my headshot! She is very professional and fun to work with. She took the time to help me find the perfect pose and made sure the lighting and angle were spot on!

I was such a pleasure working with O! Our party had two little wiggle worms under 3, and she was wonderfully patient and creative with them, and the result was great images. O is a great professional and talented photographer and you'll be happy you chose to work with her!

My family and I used this studio for my daughter’s 100 day and 1st Birthday photos. They are so patient and great with kids! My daughter had a melt down and they still managed to capture great photos. They are reasonably priced and are very flexible with appointments. We will continue to use this studio to capture milestones!

I have taken my granddaughter's picture here when she was first born I used the studio in the pictures were very very nice so I'm going back there to get all my grandchildren's pictures done

Leslie is a a master of her craft! Her professionalism and preparedness are consistently highlighted, alongside her creativity in capturing excellent result. Her ability to provide direction during photo sessions and create a fun, engaging atmosphere ensures her clients are satisfied with the quality of her work. I highly recommend her services! Thank you Leslie & Sydney for the accommodations, and your dedication to your work!

We chose Mariana because her portfolio captured a lot of candid moments and we were more than happy with the memories she captured of our special day. She took the time to get to know us, got our style and didn't have use pose too much, really showed up prepared, with a lot of flexibility and patience and made our day very special. We loved that she was bilingual and could communicate with all our guests, she also captured all the details of our decor which had a lot of personal touches to them. The package was without our budget and very reasonable. We highly recommend!

O is patient, friendly, gives good direction and knows how to make you look your best!! Her work was excellent, she created a portfolio of both professional photos and those with a personal touch. I would definitely call on her again in the future, and recommend her for anyone who needs professional quality photos taken by a true artist.

I had a wonderful shoot with O Zhang. She is not only a museum level photographer but also very artistic and intuitive. She can come up with great ideas and suggestions that enhance your character and style.
Usually, if you have a few great images from one photo session that’s good already, but there were tons of great images which made it so hard to choose the pictures. And most images already looked great without any retouching.
I had a media interview that time and we used her photograph. With the media exposure with her beautiful photograph, and my posting of many of her great photographs in one week, my social media account reached 25k viewings. (Story & account visit.)
Thanks to O, I had a plenty of great images to post for content, my social media jumped for the consecutive postings.
People loves her photographs and I keep receiving great comments for many weeks.
I would definitely recommend O not only for the great images but also she will let you discover your inner self love! ♥️✨

Oleksandra was the photographer for my maternity shoot and will definitely be the photographer for my newborn shoot. Oleksandra is a fantastic, super talented photographer with a beautiful studio. Her knowledge of light and the female pregnancy body is remarkable. My photoshoot was one of the highlights of my pregnancy. My husband and I felt comfortable, at easy, had fun and was guided by the best. We would thoroughly recommend Oleksandra for anyone looking for quality photographer who not just excels in maternity shots, but is also a lovely person.

O is fantastic! She is amazing at bringing out the individuality of the person in the photoshoot, and her photos are so beautiful. As both an artist and photographer, O has an incredible eye for detail and is also a great communicator. She makes the photoshoot environment very fun and comfortable — I had such a great time! I highly recommend O to anyone looking to have high-quality photos.

My experience has been great! I was referred by my sister who has used their services for new baby photos and more, and I highly recommend! Scheduling was easy via phone, and I received a link to the photos few days after the photoshoot. I appreciated how flexible the photographer was on set. The staff are used to families with young children, and they somehow got my son who skipped nap time to look cute in his outfits.

Highly recommended, Mariana is very personable. We did our engagement shoot with Mariana where we learned her style and how to prepare ourselves for our wedding day. It made us comfortable on our wedding day with her and her second photographer. Our photos are everything we hoped for capturing our story of our special wedding day. We also had them do a photobooth for us.

Mariana took headshots and team photos for our business summit and it was nothing short of amazing. She was punctual, pleasant, and the team had a terrific time working with her. The photos came out amazing and everyone looked so beautiful and happy. It was beyond our expectations, and we would highly recommend using her for your photography needs, especially if you have a fun-loving group.

Oleksandra was the photographer for both my maternity shoot and my newborn’s and did a great job capturing every magical moment.
The photos turned out great !!
Oleksandra is very professional so if you are looking for a photoshoot, run don’t walk to Stelmah photo.

P.S: The outfits are so beautiful as well !

Love this photo studio, I think I’ll be getting all my baby and family portraits done here. The photographer was super accommodating when I had to push back my appointment since my 6 mo decided it was time for a nap. It was for the best, since we got to take photos of her in her best condition. He was such a pro and knew all the tricks to bring out her smile! And most importantly, he was so fast! He was quick taking her photos, and quick providing us the digital copies. Highly recommend

This place was recommended to me when I was looking to take my passport pictures. I was welcomed with open arms and felt very comfortable and not rushed. I highly recommend getting all of your photographies done here.

I am a repeat customer here because of how incredible our experience was. I first came when my older kid turned 1 for family photos and for traditional Korean style pictures and they came out so well. We were really happy with how the photos turned out. They’re also super communicative to emails and flexible with set up/outfits. When I was truly impressed was when we returned with my older kid, now 3, and our younger child, now 1. Our toddler was NOT interested in taking photos this day, but they were somehow able to still capture amazing shots. I don’t know what magic they used but the photographers got ALL smiles! From the photos you would not be able to tell my toddler was having a meltdown! And turnaround time for the photos was so fast. super happy with the results and cannot recommend them enough.

Mariana was so amazing to work with! We found her through our venue's list of vendors and we immediately loved her portfolio! We did our engagement photos with her a few months before the wedding, and they turned out absolutely beautiful!! Mariana made us feel so comfortable. My husband and I both don't really take pictures and we were nervous that we wouldn't like our pictures or know how to pose, but Mariana took her time to explain each pose and help us with positioning. It made us feel so much more relaxed. Before our wedding, she made sure we had everything in order as far as what kind of photos/portraits we wanted. On our wedding day it made it so much easier to take pictures with family and friends! We absolutely loved all our wedding pictures. Mariana had done many weddings at our venue before, so she knew exactly the best places to take gorgeous photos! I highly recommend Mariana! She is such a fantastic photographer! You will love all your pictures!

Oh baby studio did exactly what I wanted and it didn’t break my bank. I really appreciated the photographer— his priority was to capture my baby when she was in her best condition (not fussy, tired, etc). He was accommodating with what I wanted and all my pictures came out so soft toned and beautifully captured. I love how he was able to capture the best from my family. So glad I came here. Prefer this studio and photographer over little pumpkin which is overly priced and not generous with quantity of pictures. This photographer values both quality and quantity. Highly recommend.

Mariana was incredible!
We first actually met for our engagement photos, and they turned out absolutely gorgeous- then I knew for sure I would love the honor to have her as our wedding photographer.
Before the wedding- she was incredibly organized with helping plan out who will be photographed and when and informing me what wedding prep details to include and basically running us through the day.
Before the wedding we had the prediction of rain and I was concerned of how the photos would turn out- but she reassured me that it wont affect the photos and how to work around it.
Then came our wedding day! I was a nervous wreck- Mariana was an angel in disguise. She calmed me down and actually helped me mentally prepare myself to walk down the aisle- I couldn't have done it so gracefully without her help.
The entire day she was incredibly kind, professional and had the utmost detail to make sure every moment was captured. She was able to kindly get my family together and also was able get a photo of my parents together who are divorced.
She did super fun and creative images with my wedding party and incredibly elegant ones of me and my husband (together and separately)
She was by far the best vendor that we had hired who delivered so well and who's energy made the day even better.
Once we received the photos it was like experiencing the wedding all over again- We were tearing up and following the most heartfelt moments of the wedding through her images- she really was able to capture every one of a kind moment.
I would HIGHLY recommend her for your special day and I hope to have the honor of her photographing more special moments in our lives.

From our family our experience has been wonderful. They have done our sons pictures from birth he is now 2 the first year we did every 3 months and we even did our wedding photos there. All the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. We are always happy with our results. The guys are super friendly and patient which is a big plus. We love going there and wouldn’t change them.

Came in today for passport photos and was very dissatisfied with the quality of the photos. I paid $20 cash for a disappointing service. I completely regretted paying for the service. Will certainly not recommend it.

Ricky—what a special photographer and wonderful person, with a fantastic, trustworthy team. We were also fortunate to have Chris as, another fun, and talented second photographer, and Gretchen, who’s stellar at assisting—a crew you MUST book! From the moment my husband and I saw Ricky’s portfolio, we knew he was someone we could trust to capture our love and wedding day exactly how we envisioned (and more!). We love his artistic eye, and thorough understanding of the wedding industry. It’s such a bonus to have a photographer who knows how to navigate the commotion that a wedding day can pull you into, and instead keep the flow of the schedule—and keep you focused and smiling all day long. We also loved how he learned our personalities quickly, and how to get natural, love-filled shots out of us, as well as power-couple-kind-of-shots. He sent over some “pre-teasers” and we are dying over them. Everyone keeps telling us how stunning they are, that they belong in a bridal magazine. I can’t recommend Ricky Restiano Photography enough. I want to find future excuses to hire him again!!

Mariana was so wonderful to work with. After our wedding had to be postponed, she was very flexible and accommodating. When the wedding day finally came, Mariana was the absolute best, making not only my husband and I, but everyone else feel super comfortable. She has great energy and easily managed/ helped coordinate our fairly large bridal party. After the wedding, our bridal party and family also mentioned how great she was. Our photos came out beautifully and we are so happy with her work. Highly recommend!!

Added to previous review—

Mariana was so great to work with and being bilingual was a huge plus to help direct our friends and family. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the first meeting pre pandemic and she was patient and responsive to us as we postponed rescheduled and altered our plans. We made a change a few months prior to our wedding in 2021 to have a small church ceremony followed by a second ceremony the next day at our venue and Mariana was with us through it all. We thought it might be tough to top the engagement photos we did with her but we adored our wedding photos and the whole experience. She was a blast to work with, was kind and friendly, celebrated with us and gave us photos and a short montage we will cherish for all the years to come to help us relieve the most wonderful day.

We shot our engagement shoot yesterday with Mariana! She was so excited to capture our personalities in action. We sourced the general location but while there, she was able to identify so many great settings, even beyond what we had envisioned! She made us feel comfortable, gave us feedback as we went, and made it all enjoyable. We got a sneak peek at some of the shots as we went, but we can't wait to see all the photos :)

Chris was a great photographer. We came from Manhattan it was an amazing value. The studio is spacious and a quick walk from the LIRR.
We liked that he was efficient and handled babies well. Came back for the second time Chris is very good good with kids!

Very professional, friendly and artistic. Two thumbs up!!

Incredible! No words to describe how gorgeous my wedding photos turned out. The best in the biz, for sure!

Don’t look no further they are the best hands down
Very professional and accommodating to their customers
You will have a hard time finding a better team of professionals

this guy is such a gentleman and respectful thx again for passport photos :)

Just called to ask this studio to take some photos of a new attorney that has joined our firm. Whoever answered said he hadn't gotten paid and hung up on me. This was the first time we've ever contacted his studio, so his immediate behavior was very unprofessional and rude.

Great photographer and amazing personality.
Was the only place able to do my passport and military photos.
Highly recommend this professional.
