Engagement Photography

I contacted Dorothy to help photograph my surprise engagement. When I initially communicated with her, she was responsive and clear. Once we'd agreed to work together, she was very easy to coordinate with and offered helpful tips for getting the most out of our shoot. On the actual day, she was perfect! She arrived on time, was super friendly and helpful, and took great photos for us, which we got less than 24 hours later. Overall, can't think of a single thing that wasn't perfect - thank you Dorothy!

Wedding and Event Photography

Aside from being a engaging and friendly person, Dorothy is an excellent photographer. I hired her to take pictures of my elopement in Central Park as well as other NYC locations. We had a great few hours and the best part in addition to getting good shots was the time we spent together which was a lot of fun. From the initial first conversation to the presentation of photos, she was invested in making sure that I was satisfied. A truly talented professional. Thanks so much Dorothy!

Portrait Photography

What a great experience with Dorothy and her team! I really needed a change of environment like that. I’m usually working in a room with bad office lighting and it so inorganic. It was a complete opposite there with the plant life, natural lighting and the pets. I can’t be more grateful for her husband’s generosity and care towards making sure I have all I needed for my purpose as an artist. I tend to go over the top with jewelry and designs on my clothes and instead with his and Dorothy’s help I got some great looks from classy to cool. Also, her makeup artist was really good and added to the cool and pleasant atmosphere. Pictures turned out fantastic and I’m looking forward to the touch ups. Folks who’ve already viewed the pictures thought it was already touched up. That could only come from years of experience and talent for photography.

Headshot Photography

I needed new headshots for my LinkedIn profile and Dorothy was able to fit me into her schedule and she did excellent work. She was very accommodating and the photos turned out better than I would have expected. She took the time to edit some of the photos with me so I look less ugly on LinkedIn than I do in real life. I would highly recommend Dorothy to anyone!
