MOST COMMON QUESTIONS

from our clients

How much experience do you have photographing in Central Park?

Michael Kormos Phototgraphy has been shooting in Central Park for the past 17 years. Are you looking for natural settings? We know just the spots! Or perhaps you prefer the iconic NYC skyline in the background. Sheep Meadow, Wollman Rink, Gapstow Bridge, and Cat's Rock all offer unique vantage points of art-deco skyscrapers on 59th Street. We have photographed thousands of families here over the years, and know just the right time of day, when the sun hits those treetops and casts a golden glow. Please be aware that Sheep Meadow does not allow dogs, and closes promptly at sunset. Other locations, such as the famed Conservatory Gardens, require photo permits that need to be secure beforehand, and have specific opening and closing times.

What if it rains?

Our rain policy is very simple: If the weather forecast shows a 40% chance of precipitation (or higher) 8 hours prior to your Session, we will contact you to reschedule for an alternate date free of charge. Weather in New York City can change quickly, especially with late-day thunderstorms in the summer. We keep an active eye on the forecast, and will contact you if the conditions warrant.

Are you prices all-inclusive, or simply a sitting fee, with images sold extra?

We believe in all-inclusive pricing. Many photographers lure in new clients with low sitting fees. This makes the photoshoot seem like an incredible deal. People are then caught off-guard when they realize the price they paid does not include any photos, which are subsequently offered for sale at premium prices. With Michael Kormos Photography - the price you see is the price you get, including beautifully edited digital portraits for download. Please know that we do not release, sell, or make available RAW unedited files, as these are not considered a finished product.

What if my toddler has a meltdown in public?

We believe in a gentle, calm, and non-commanding approach to baby photography. We use a variety of tricks, toys, and funny sounds to distract toddlers while keeping their focus on the camera. A few smiles from our sock-puppet, or bubbles in the air, and they forget all about being photographed! In the unlikely event that your toddler has a meltdown during a photoshoot, a simple 10-minute break generally turns their mood around.

Are there any travel fees for locations outside of NYC?

For locations outside of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx and Staten Island, we charge a nominal travel fee to cover our photographer's expenses to and from a location of your choice. These generally range from $50 to $150. Please contact Sophie at 212-544-0102 to discuss a location of your choice.

LOCATIONS

FOR NYC PHOTOGRAPHY

Central Park is a photographer’s dream, blending iconic city views with timeless charm. You can romp through the wide-open greenery of Sheep Meadow for skyline views, or head to Bethesda Terrace for grand, European-style architecture and soft, glowing light. For a touch of romance, the stone arches of Gapstow Bridge offer a picture-perfect backdrop that feels straight out of a movie - complete with The Plaza Hotel in the background. These iconic landmarks are exactly why so many travelers choose this park for their New York vacation photos with us.

The north end of Central Park is a quiet paradise for little ones. Shakespeare Garden offers a fairytale maze of flowers and rustic paths, while the East Meadow provides a peaceful, wide-open lawn for babies to play freely. For a touch of elegance, the Conservatory Garden features stunning fountains and manicured blooms that feel like a private oasis. These serene spots are perfect if you are looking for a professional Central Park photographer for baby portraits who knows the park’s hidden gems.

New York's waterfront parks perfectly blend harbor charm with big-city energy. Wagner Park offers lush greenery and front-row views of the Statue of Liberty, while Gantry Plaza State Park showcases a cinematic, sprawling look at the Manhattan skyline. For the ultimate "New York" moment, Brooklyn Bridge Park provides an iconic mix of pebble beaches and world-famous architecture. These stunning vistas are exactly why visitors hire a pro vacation and portrait photographer like Michael Kormos to document their trip.

Tribeca is a favorite for its quiet cobblestone streets and chic lofts, while the Upper West Side provides a refined, cinematic feel with its elegant brownstones. For a creative, artsy vibe, Red Hook features rustic warehouses and stunning waterfront views. Capturing these distinct vibes is why booking Michael Kormos Photography, who offers a specialized photoshoot experience is so important.
