Newborn Photography in Astoria & Long Island City, Queens

Astoria has been a family neighborhood for generations, and it's having a genuine moment. The combination of larger apartments than Manhattan, a short commute to Midtown, and a neighborhood energy that is warm, multicultural, and deeply local has made it one of the most popular destinations for young families in the New York metro area.

Long Island City, just south of Astoria, has its own family population growing around the waterfront development — high-rises with Manhattan skyline views and families who want the view without the Manhattan price.

YourCherish photographs in-home newborn sessions in Astoria, Long Island City, and throughout Queens.

In-Home Newborn in Astoria

Astoria's housing is generous by New York standards. The pre-war apartment buildings that make up most of the neighborhood have larger rooms, higher ceilings, and more generous windows than equivalent buildings in Manhattan. Many apartments have good natural light — east or south exposure in buildings along the major avenues creates conditions where we can do almost everything with the light that already exists.

We bring a complete studio setup — backdrops, professional lighting, posing equipment, wraps — and work through the session completely at your baby's pace. 3 to 4 hours, in your home, your way.

Astoria's Greek, Arab, Middle Eastern, and South Asian communities include many families for whom in-home newborn photography is a new concept — and quickly becomes one they wish they'd discovered sooner.

Long Island City Waterfront Apartments

The newer buildings along the LIC waterfront have floor-to-ceiling windows with Manhattan views that create an in-home newborn backdrop unlike anything available in Brooklyn or Manhattan at the same price point. The sessions we do in these apartments — the Manhattan skyline framing your baby's first days — are consistently among the most striking images in our portfolio.
