Dorothy Shi is a wonderful corporate headshot photographer in NYC. I loved how the photos came out and she made the process fun and easy. Highly recommend if you are looking for professional headshots to use on LinkedIn. I specifically wanted photos that were well-lit, had a light background, and were minimally edited. She did an amazing job accommodating my requests. I would definitely recommend to friends, family, and colleagues.

I cannot recommend Dorothy and her team more highly. My daughter and I needed photos taken, specifically headshots for an upcoming pageant. I looked at many photographers and of all of them I chose Dorothy because of her professionalism and her deep knowledge of our particular pageant system. I am so glad we did! Booking was so easy and because we booked in advance I was able to pick a date that worked for us in the weekend. I was so impressed with how personalized Dorothy made everythingshe gave us input on hair, wardrobe, and had a wonderful makeup artist who was able to color match my skin tone and bring out my skins natural highlights. Additionally, she made sure to check in with me before the shoot to make sure we were comfortable and ready. The day of the shoot was great, Dorothy had everything set and ready. Im nervous in front of the camera but she helped me and my daughter relax. Im so pleased with how the photos came out and most of all, Dorothy and her team! Thank you Dorothy and Stacy! I would definitely book with Dorothy again!

S. McMillan, Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot to me and my team. It was such a pleasure working with you and your daughter. Pageant headshots are very specific, and I’m so glad we were able to guide you through everything from wardrobe and hair to creating images that feel confident, natural, and competition-ready. I know being in front of the camera can feel a bit nerve-racking, and you both did an amazing job. I’m so happy you love the final photos — that’s always the goal. Thank you again for trusting Dorothy Shi Photography. I look forward to working with you again in the future! Warmly, Dorothy
