We booked a photography session for our twin boys with Michael Kronos Photography, and it was hands-down one of the best experiences we've ever had. From start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. Weeks before the session, we received an incredibly thoughtful email with every detail we need--outfit suggestions, what to expect, and even questions about what our boys love so they could personalize the experience. That level of care and communication already set them apart. On the day of the shoot, everything was seamless. We were warmly greeted by Sophie, who is truly one of the most wonderful photographers we've ever worked with. She immediately helped us settle in and made the boys feel comfortable from the first moment. They had a little setup for the kids with small toys, treats, and water--simple touches that made a huge difference. The session lasted about 30 minutes, and we were amazed by how many beautiful photos we received. Even more surprising was how much our boys enjoyed the experience; they jumped right in with ideas for poses and stayed fully engaged the whole time. We've never seen them warm up to a new activity that quickly, and that speaks volumes about Sophie and the entire team. The proof gallery was delivered quickly, and within a week, we had our final edited images, which were absolutely stunning. We truly cannot recommend Michael Kronos Photography enough. Their professionalism, warmth, creativity, and incredible attention to detail make them the best of the best in NYC. We left extremely happy and will definitely be returning for future sessions! read more

We have been working with Michael and his team for our family portrait since 2018. And this becomes our annual traditions since then. The photos are amazing and they are true expert for family portrait. We have done different location with them as well. Highly recommend. read more

Their photographer Flor did a fabulous job, especially with our toddler. Flor got her to smile and she captured so many unbelievable poses by the child- the results were magical! read more

Michael Kormos is the best company for a family photoshoot in New york. We did ours in Brooklyn and I cant wait to use them for our Christmas card this year. The pictures are above and beyond. read more

Michael Kormos Photography, from the very start, were professional, prompt, and caring. They were flexible with scheduling when our baby arrived early and were so caring and loving the whole time. Sophie is a baby whisperer! She did such an amazing job with our newborn photoshoot - it was magical! She was able to work with our little boy so effortlessly and made it look so easy!! We love our family portraits and all the sweet poses she was able to make for our baby. Don't bother looking elsewhere for newborn/family photos. These guys are true professionals! I wholeheartedly recommend them to any new parents or anyone looking for beautiful, timeless family photos. read more

The team at Michael Kormos (Michael and Sophie) are so kind, thoughtful and attentive. Most importantly Michael is extremely talented and a true kid-whisperer. He manages to get the most beautiful photos and an unprecedented level of cooperation with my young children. We love our time with him! It's a truly rewarding experience all around!! read more

They were great to work with! From styling, to scheduling, to the final product! They even prioritized our final selections when we urgently needed them. read more

I loved working with Michael Kormos Photography. They were helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. From helping choose a location to their suggestions on what to wear, they made it easy for us to get our family portraits done. Sophie answered all my questions and made suggestions when I needed help with anything. The shoot itself was great as well. Flora made us feel comfortable and was easy to work with. She took note of our requests and reassured us that what we asked for would be accommodated. And they were! The final edits were amazing as was expected. Highly recommended. read more

Wow I am speechless, the pictures came out more beautifully than I imagined. Very honored to have taken these maternity photos sessions with such lovely ladies. They both did an amazing job on making this a memory to keep forever. The pictures are equally as beautiful in ever angle and poses and was very difficult to narrow it down. Happy client and mother to be!!! Thank you read more

We did our maternity photos with Flora in Central Park in October of 2020. Flora was kind, professional, captured so many beautiful moments and we are so happy with the final product from our shoot. Michael did an excellent job with the editing and we couldn't be more pleased. Sophie was always courteous and prompt and a pleasure to correspond with through the entire process. Thank you again! read more

Let me start by saying I cannot wait until we can book our next session with them!! I had my little girl over a month early (she's healthy, don't worry!) and realized once we got home that I would really regret it if we didn't do newborn photos. I reached out to a few different photographers after reviewing online portfolios and crossed my fingers that someone could fit me in on very short notice. Thankfully, Sophie responded very quickly with availability just a few days later. I decided to do the studio session instead of the in home session since I had confidence their lighting would be better than ours and frankly, with a 10 day old baby, we weren't in a position to tidy up! Sophie and Becca were both at the studio when we arrived and we did a nice long feeding session with the baby before photos started so she'd be nice and sleepy. After a variety of poses by herself, which we had front row seats to watch, we also got to do our first photos as a new family. It was such a relaxing experience and Sophie and Becca created a wonderful environment. We had our sneak peak photos within a few days and the full set less than two weeks after our session (and more than 20 photos!). I am so pleased with how they turned out and plan on booking a session in the fall when our little one is 6-9 mos old. Thanks Sophie and Becca!! read more

I had such a great experience working with Sophie! I did a newborn shoot after having to cancel my maternity shoot due to the early arrival of my daughter and the team was more than willing to accommodate me. The studio is super cute and has everything you need for your shoot which makes it completely stress free just arrive with baby and she'll guide you through the rest! Sophie did an amazing job of keeping the baby calm and quite to create the perfect images. She has a magic touch! If you want beautiful memories that will last a life time, go with this company they are well worth it. The images are truly works of art! read more

Sophia and Becca did such a nice job with our family. They took hundreds of shots and came up with 20 expertly edited photos that captured the spirit of the summer that we wanted. Our whole family could use the gallery when the photos were complete, and we had full license to make a card. For the shoot itself, both of them creatively used props to make the scene natural. Sophia occupied our little one to make her stay engaged in the photo shoot. They were on time to the meet too. While the pricing is not cheap, the work product was great, and Becca's rate was reasonable in context. We also used a cut-price photog for our Christmas cards: photos were worse and we had no license. We got what we paid for and would use them again. read more

I've worked with many photographers before and I have to say, these guys are the absolute best. Outstanding customer service, rapid communication, and superb photo quality. Highly recommend. While we were there, they followed all precautions to keep everyone safe during the covid pandemic. read more

Michael and Sophie are both very professional and caring. They know exactly what they were doing and provide great preparation before they turned up at our door. We love every single picture that they took for our newborn and would recommend them to our friends for sure! read more

I did the in-studio maternity photo shoot with Michael Kormos Photography and it was an absolutely amazing experience. I was a little nervous as I didn't know what to expect and I'm not used to getting professionally photographed. Well I wasn't nervous for too long! My husband and I were greeted by both Anabella, the photographer, and Abby, the make up artist/stylist. Abby did an incredible job with my hair and makeup. I told her a little bit about what I was looking for, but honestly, I wasn't too descriptive. But she did exactly what I envisioned. It was perfect. The photographer, Anabella, was wonderful and so talented. She put me immediately at ease, was fun and upbeat the entire time, and literally told me exactly what to do. I felt so comfortable and had so much fun. Abby fixed my hair throughout the shoot and I had several outfit changes using their dresses/robes/fabrics, all of which were gorgeous. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. Anabella is so good at capturing the moment, playing with the light, and incorporating poses that are very flattering. I couldn't have asked for a better session or experience. I also want to mention how great and easy the booking experience was, as well as the prep for the actual shoot, which was managed by Sophie. She was very responsive all throughout and provided me with all the info I needed at every stage of the process. read more

My husband and I had a mini maternity session with Anabella. Her warm welcome made us to feel comfortable during the entire session. We were so nervous before coming to the studio since it was our first time taking portraits in the studio. However, Anabella made us to smile and laugh during the whole session. It was an amazing experience to capture the most important event in our lives. We couldn't easily choose the final portraits since all of her portraits were literally amazing. I highly recommend Michael Kormos Photography to everyone who is considering to take maternity portraits!! read more

Michael is the most professional and patient photographer I've ever seen. He did such a great job bringing my vision for my one year old and family shoot into life and elevated it to the next level!!! He is extremely good at finding the right spot at the right time to create the perfect frame for your photo under the best lighting condition. I love every single picture he shoot for us and I will definitely recommend him. Sophie is such a sweetheart. She got along with my one year old immediately and was able to comfort him and attract his attention to ensure the best expression for the photo. She is well prepared with tools and toys and so experienced with helping children work with the photographer. Highly recommend this couple if you are looking for a beautiful timeless photoshoot. read more

The short review: Michael and Sophie are a married due who will turn your vision into an artistic reality for any photo session. They provide high quality photography, detailed responsive communication and will make you feel comfortable in your own skin. The long review: My husband convinced me to do the maternity photo session. At first, I was skeptical about it, did not want it to look "cheesy", but decided to keep an opened mind during photo studio research. When I came across Michael Kormos Photography, what caught my attention was his style. I liked they way he played with light and shadows and made the person truly be a focal point of the photograph. Every image looked like a timeless piece of art. Michael has the ability to capture a perfect moment that conveys the emotion and the final image tells the story. From that point I new I wanted to be photographed by this kind of professional. When I enquired about the dates and the specifics of the maternity packages I received a very detailed email from Sophie. She answered all of my questions and was very responsive on any follow up questions after that with suggestions in regard to wardrobe for me and my husband , backgrounds, hair and makeup. The studio is conveniently located in Lower Midtown Chelsea area. They have a rack of garments to choose from for the photo session and a privacy screen with a mirror to change between the looks and retouch the makeup or hair. I thought that snacks and water was a nice personal touch. During the session Sophie and Michael guided me and my husband through the prompts for poses so that we knew what to do and how to achieve our vision for each look. They made us feel very comfortable throughout the session and turned it into a truly fun and bonding experience for this milestone period of our life. Shortly after the session we received unedited photos to choose our favorites and soon after we got touched up professional product from Michael and Sophie. We could not be happier with the outcome - they captured our vision and gave us memories to cherish for generations to last. read more

My fiancé and I had an in-studio mini session with Anabella. Upon our arrival, Anabella was so welcoming, professional and very friendly. She brought out the most natural shots from us! We cannot wait to come back to do our newborn photoshoot. I will definitely recommend Michael Kormos Photography to my family and friends. read more

We had to most wonderful experience with Michael Kormos Photography. Not only did they accommodate us when I reached out last minute, they made my husband and I, and most importantly our 2 week old daughter, feel so relaxed and comfortable in our photo shoot. The photographs are so special and we are going to cherish them forever. We look forward to working with them again as our family grows. I would recommend them over and over again. read more

We had both maternity and newborn photo shoots done using Michael Kormos photography, it was an excellent experience all around! They were incredibly flexible with timing, and the actual photos were beautiful. They knew exactly what to do to keep my newborn peaceful and sleeping through the entire shoot, came to our apartment and made the entire experience pleasant and painless, which is extremely important when you are just home from the hospital with a new baby :-) I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional photographer for family or newborn photos. read more

Michael and Sophie were wonderful to work with. I am a life long amateur photography enthusiast, and we spent a long time looking through countless newborn photographers in New York City, and I hope you can agree with me that Michael's photos stand out above the rest. It really makes a difference that they are a team of two equal partners, as Sophie's vision and attention to detail in designing and executing the poses are as important to the end result as the quality of Michael's skill as a photographer. They came to our apartment and brought all the necessary equipment including professional lighting, a heater, a white noise machine. The turnaround of the edited photos were quick (i think less than a week) and they were beautiful and priceless. Would highly recommend. read more

My husband and I had a maternity shoot with Annabella. I could not have asked for a better experience. She was professional and welcoming and made me feel so comfortable during the shoot. I also had my hair and makeup done and felt so glamourous. I had an amazing time! The pictures were everything I could ever ask for and more. So happy to have gone with this team. I highly recommend!! read more

I had my maternity photos done by Michael Kormos and I am absolutely so happy I chose to have them done and even more happy I chose to go with the studio because now I can look back at my pregnancy through the beautiful pictures Anabella was able to capture! Booking with Sophie was seamless and scheduling was very straightforward. On the day of the shoot, Annabella made me very comfortable that I was able to relax, smile and she was able to capture many pictures. I've never had a professional photo shoot before, but Anabella was able to direct me and I didn't feel embarrassed or silly. I just felt beautiful! Also, their studio is beautiful, clean and a great environment to take pictures! They had my photos ready promptly and now I have them in time to display before baby comes! read more

I used Michael Kormos Photograpy to capture a very special moment in my life, my pregnancy, and I am so happy I chose them. My photos were beautiful, classic and elegant. Everyone that has seen them has asked who took so gorgeous photos and months later people are still asking about them. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a maternity photographer. If I am ever pregnant again, I will definitely use them again! read more

I cannot praise my experience for my maternity shoot enough. I was so nervous and cautious about doing shoot, as i booked far in advance. but Sophie remeasured me through the whole process. Anabella our photographer was amazing, i was so comfortable and relaxed. the images could not be more amazing. So much more than i expected. I cant wait to take our son for his newborn session. Thank you for the amazing experience and images we will have forever. read more

If I could give a review higher than five stars, I would. We loved EVERYTHING about our session with Michael Kormos Photography. We are from a small town in Louisiana and were going to be visiting NYC. It has been my dream to take family photos while on vacation so I goggled photographers there before our trip. When I came across MKP, I knew I had to go with them. Their photos were stunning. The pricing was higher than what I typically pay in our small town but I had a feeling it would be worth it. You get what you pay for couldn't be more true when it came to our photos and entire experience with MKP. Sophie was so helpful with getting everything figured out and set up. Our photographer, Flor, was absolutely amazing. She was so kind, helpful and welcoming. I couldn't dream of working with better people. Our images are my dream family photos. I HIGHLY recommend them. There's no way you would be disappointed. They are just that good. read more

Michael & Sophie were beyond amazing from start to finish. Sophie answered the million questions I had leading up to the session with kindness and compassion. On the day of, they photographed my newborn boy/girl twins in my home AND in the middle of a pandemic. They were the absolute perfect mix of professional, cautious, kind and caring. Even when my son had a meltdown at the end of the session they were cool as cucumbers and found a perfect solution to finish out the day. They turned around the initial portfolio and then the retouched images before I could even take a breath. The final product blew away my expectations. I had to upgrade my package because I couldn't narrow down all of the wonderful shots. I highly recommend Michael Kormos Photography for your photography needs! read more

We have had rally wonderful experiences with Michael Kormos, as well as Becca, for family photos! This included a newborn package and a year later a photo shoot in Central Park with our toddler. They're so professional while also incredibly personable, knowing how to capture those truly amazing moments. Couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos and prints adorning our walls, thanks so much! Highly recommended! read more

Anabella was simply amazing! I went to her for my maternity photo shoot and I must say the experience was amazing and the quality of the images are absolutely exceptional! Initially, comparing Michael Kormos images to others I had encountered, I was highly impressed with the perfection, yet natural quality of the images on their website, no other photographer compared when seeking to capture a special moment that will be a part of our family tree for ever. I waited til the "last minute" in my pregnancy to schedule my session ( which was not easy with all the symptoms brought on during the final weeks of pregnancy) But it was "a breeze" all thanks to Anabella, who was very proffessional, accommodating and encouraging, she provided me with the comfort and motivation I needed, to gain the confidence necessary to get through the process. She was very warm, welcoming, and funny! My family and I really enjoyed our photo session! I look forward to returning for our newborn's session soon. read more

I had a fantastic experience with the Michael Kormos team. Wonderful people. The photos came out flawless and I am so happy to have chosen their services to capture this lifetime moment. Highly recommended! read more

Michael and Sophie are such a great team! They're amazing with kids, and the final images are gorgeous and ones you can keep forever. I've had amazing experiences with them, and I highly recommend their studio for baby and family photography. Both are so knowledgeable about what makes a beautiful photo, from recommendations on the best type of clothing to wear to locations and times of the day to go. Highly recommended photographers! read more

I really wanted to capture a moment in my life (and body) that I wasn't sure would be repeated- my pregnancy with my daughter. I searched for all the best photographers and Michael's photography was so much better then anyone else's. I treasure the photographs from that shoot. They are beautiful and express the joy/beauty of that time.i was afraid I would be uncomfortable, but the shoot was painless and easy... Even fun. read more

This past Friday I entered my very own dreamworld of learning: I spent the day with Michael and Sophie Kormos doing a one-on-two mentorship with them. I'm a newborn and family photographer, and I was feeling I needed some guidance in turning my studio into something more sustainable. Well, spending the day with them was worth every penny! I have no doubt that the cost of the mentoring will quickly be covered with the knowledge they shared with me. I went with them to a newborn session, where Sophie taught me a super simplified version of creating a home studio. Where I bring six bags and suitcases of props and blankets and lighting, M&S bring one of gear and one of blankets/supplies. Michael and I shot the session in tandem, with him giving feedback on shots/composition and lighting along the way, even letting me try out some of his lenses (a true "is-this-really-happening/somebody pinch me" moment). I learned endless amounts about posing for newborns and parents, tricks for working with an unhappy big brother, and getting the most out of each pose to minimize the overall session time. After, Michael went over editing with me, which was truly a magical process. Sophie and Michael continuously gave me feedback and constructive criticism on my pricing, website, client exchanges, editing, etc. They answered any and every question I had - not one was off limits. I am inspired beyond anything I'd imagined when signing up for this mentorship. I am so very grateful that two talented, accomplished, and kind, professionals shared their knowledge and time with me. If you're looking to push your photography business to the next level, I believe this is an amazing investment into your career. Many thanks, Michael and Sophie! read more

We've now used Michael Kormos Photography twice and had a wonderful experience each time. Our family photos last year in Central Park with Michael came out perfect due to their knowledge of lighting. We absolutely love our newborn photos that were shot with Daphne this year. Their studio is so serene and their blankets/hair bows/hats were lovely. Both shoots we worked with Sophie who is an expert stylist and fantastic with children and posing. The whole team is just wonderful. I recommend them to all my friends and family and will definitely continue to use them in the future. read more

We couldn't thank Sophie and Daphne enough for that amazing maternity photo shoot experience they gave us ! I was feeling very nervous and uncomfortable (sharp pain on my lower spine) to pose for maternity shoot during my final stage of pregnancy, their warmth and friendliness really calmed me down and made my shy husband and me feel at home in the studio. Their professionalism created gorgeous photos which are beyond our expectations! Sophie and Daphne are really attentive. They listened to our needs, responded to emails, chose nice outfits for us, corrected our postures, and tidied up our hair during the shooting. They really make sure the end result is stunning and flawless. You will not regret having them photograph any of your family's occasions. read more

Michael Kormos Photography did both my maternity shoot and newborn photo shoot and I couldn't be happier with both! The experience was so easy and smooth, we received our photos super fast and they came out BEAUTIFUL! We will truly treasure them for years to come! The customer service is also great, Sophie always responded to my emails in a very prompt manner. Highly highly recommend! read more

Sophie did an amazing job on our newborn photos. She was very patient with our baby when she took a while to fall asleep and worked her magic to keep her asleep through all the accessory and position changes. The pictures came out beautifully! Initially wasn't sure I wanted to do a newborn session but soooo glad we did it! Newborn phase is so tough... having professional photos is a nice way to remember our daughter in this phase of her life which seems to be passing by as a hazy, sleepless blur. read more

Both Michael and Sophie are such an amazing team. I felt comfortable and beautiful the entire time.....even at week 39/40 in pregnancy and that is hard to do! My pictures reflected it. My husband looked as good as he did in our wedding photos and they were able to capture the love, closeness and affection we're feeling right now upon expecting our bundle of joy! I was able to see my pictures at the time they said they would be availalbe and all has met my expectations. I looked and felt like a Pea in the Pod model :) We highly highly recommend Michael and Sophie! read more
