Mommy & Me Photography NYC

Newborn portraits often feel like a race against time. Tiny fingers uncurl, sleepy yawns fade, and those first expressions disappear before parents can blink. Mommy & Me Photography NYC specializes in capturing these fleeting moments without the usual studio stress. Their sessions focus on natural poses and soft lighting that suit babies better than staged props, making the process feel more like a quiet afternoon than a photo shoot.

Long Island City offers a practical backdrop for families who prefer to avoid Manhattan’s crowded streets. The studio sits at 44-02 23rd St Suite 417 4th Floor, a short walk from the Court Square subway station, where the E, M, G, and 7 lines converge. This part of Queens has become a hub for creative businesses, with photographers, designers, and small studios sharing converted industrial spaces. The area’s mix of old brick and modern glass gives it a neutral, uncluttered feel—ideal for parents who want portraits that don’t compete with distracting backdrops.

They also photograph maternity sessions, sibling introductions, and milestone shoots for babies turning one. The business is women-owned, which many parents appreciate for the intuitive approach to family dynamics. Sessions are kept small, often limited to immediate family, to keep the focus on genuine connections rather than large group shots. There’s no pressure to buy packages upfront; proofs are shared digitally, allowing parents to choose prints that fit their walls and budgets.

Add contact info once near the end: call (917) 528-1458. Directions to the studio are available on their map, where the building’s entrance is marked near the corner of 23rd Street and Queens Plaza South. The area’s accessibility makes it a practical choice for families coming from Brooklyn, Manhattan, or further out in Queens.
