My photography session was amazing. I am an actress and have had several "big name" photographs take my headshots in the past, but I was getting tired of the same old thing and wanted to try something new. With the amazing prices I must admit, I was very skeptical and figured they would come out mediocre at best. But boy, was I proved wrong!! I had already seen some of of the great work that Richard had done previously so I did have something, that I envisioned and hoped he would do for me. So I went in there, told the hair and make up artists what type of look I wanted and didnt want and they achieved it without a doubt. I had previously told Richard what kind of look and feel I wanted in my photos and he went out of his way to make that happen. I got my first look at the shots in 24 hours after the session and I loved them. He was able to capture moments that have not been captured for me before. He has gotten beautiful angles of me that have never been photographed before either. I am so impressed with the work I have seen this far. In fact I have already told several friends about him who have been looking for a photographer of this talent and am already thinking of what shots I would like to do next with him. If you are looking for someone with a great personality, someone who executes exactly what you want (even for someone who is picky like me), someone who can find pieces of you that you have never seen so beautiful on camera before, with prices that dont come close to what they should be for his line of work and talent then Richard is the person to go to. I love my headshots and even body shots. I felt beautiful in almsot every single photo and that is what everyone deserves to feel while getting a session done. My only advice is dont wait, he is popular and is only becoming more and more lately so book with him sooner rather than later to get such an amazing experience. read more

Richard Rosario photography was worth every penny. Experience: session is done at his house (living room/ indoor patio heated area/ backyard), very clean (covid sanitize certified), safe setting, professional area. My fiance doesn't usually smile for pics, but Richard created a fun but yet relaxed environment, I actually have a few pics of him cracking a smile #golden Location: Throggs Neck Bronx, conveniently located off the highway. So access/ location should not be an issue Price: There's several packages. I first went there for a maternity shoot but after speaking to Richard I decided on a package deal of maternity and newborn photos. 5 for maternity and 5 for newborn, but you can change it up if you want he's pretty flexible. Photos: You will first receive unedited photos via an app, you rate your pics (3-5 ), only your 5 star photos will be edited professionally. If you have any issues, you can text Richard and he will make the necessary changes to ensure your satisfaction. Communication is very quick. Clothing/ costumes: Everything was provided by Richard for my maternity and newborn shoot. Your responsibility is your makeup and hairstyle. That's awesome because some places regulate how many outfits you can use, Richard was very chill about the # costumes based on the amount of photos. Newborn: Richard' s assistant took our baby and she changed his wet diaper and fed him during the shoot. We did nothing during this period except to wait patiently for them to call us. For any new parent, you know that's like a mini vaca :) We had a great experience at Richard Rosario Photography, and highly recommend for maternity and newborn pics. read more

OMG! Words can't explain how great and awesome Richard is, I did a 22 Birthday theme photoshoot this past Wednesday with him, from the moment I arrived the day of the shoot once he opened the door Richard and his assistant Kiera was soooo welcoming and warm . They introduced me to the makeup artist Victoria, Victoria was amazing and did my make up so well she exactly pin point of what type of look I wanted which was a rose gold make up look. Afterwards we got started with the shoot I started with my outfit #1 which was my glitter top and my tutu that I made , I started to get nervous because I was scare I was going to be horrible at taking pictures(posing) , but Richard walked me through everything and was teaching me ways to pose , Richard and Kiera made me feel super comfortable and we all just had a BLAST!! all together I had sooo much fun I didn't want it to end lol. I was able to take some picture also with another outfit which was a elegant long dress but Richard made the photo look so beautiful and classy and fun !! Which I was going for, they was very helpful through out the way and their energy was just bubbly. When we finished I was able to go through the photos and choose which one I wanted, it was so hard because they all look so great and I wanted to choose all of it lol. Was a super fun day with Richard and Kiera I definitely recommend him ! Worth every penny and time! Will be coming back soon to do another photo shoot with my family!!!! Wish I can give more than 5 stars because they deserve it. OUTSTANDING! read more

Having a baby is expensive but i wanted to spend a few bucks to memorialize the beauty of pregnancy and my baby's first few days.. i started looking for a photographer at around 34 wks and spoke with 2 other photographers before finding Richard. Those other photographers gave me cheaper quotes but i was sold on Richard there first time meeting him. His work is not only amazing but he made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and it shows in our prints. Also his team is incredible and at 4 days old, My sweetheart was in awesome hands with his baby specialist who even caught my princess smiling! He has connections to makeup and hair stylists for your shoot if you choose, and has tons of outfits for you to use and you're free to bring your own stuff too and personalize as you want. The other photographers i spoke to limited the amounts of photos they would shoot initially and then would charge separate fees for their time for the shoots, and then for certain prints you want. I got an awesome package from Richard with items i don't see other people doing including one of my photos on a throw pillow! I got canvases of my baby , a usb with all my pics, an awesome box with all my prints and fancy white gloves to use while showing them off so as not to dirty them up. I defined recommend Richard for portraits and will be going to him again for family portraits soon! :) read more

OMG!!! The best experience ever, hands down. I first worked with Richard for my professional headshots and in that short 15 minutes he made so comfortable. I ended up with a lot of greats shots.  It was difficult to choose. I immediately started talking with him about doing a birthday shoot. I had a special one coming up and with us being in quarantine and having so many restrictions a birthday party was out of the question.  I toyed with the idea right down to the last minute. I was super nervous, but I had several conversations with Richard prior to the shoot where he discussed what I should expect and how to prep. I did the shoot on my birthday, and I must say it is a birthday I will remember forever. When I arrived on set that day Richard had his assistant, Makeeda there to help me with whatever I needed. And I mean whatever, whether it was deciding on which earrings to wear, shoes to go with certain outfits, a fan in addition to the Ac to keep me cool, and a beverage to ensure I remained hydrated. I felt like royalty. Richard talked me through the whole shoot and made sure I was relaxed every step of the way, needless to say, I got a tons of great shots to choose from.  Will I do this again? Absolutely YES!!!! Do I recommend Richard Rosario Photograpy? OMG Without a doubt!!! I am actually thinking about making this an annual birthday event for myself. read more

Being a woman is honestly so damn hard. There's so much we're exposed to and so much information we're fed that it's not easy to just feel good about yourself. After booking my boudoir shoot I was definitely nervous, my biggest fear was showing my big arms and shoulders but on the day of the shoot Richard definitely made me feel so comfortable about myself that I just let myself go and love the whole experience. I had no expectations how the pictures would turn out. I was on such a high from the photo shoot itself, and Richard telling me I looked beautiful, I didn't care once about my rolls or wrinkles or my chipped nails. I wanted to feel confident without having an expectation attached to this word, and Richard went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. It can seem difficult and daunting to fight and reach the point of pure happiness and confidence but Richard strongly advises to be kind to yourself and remember your worth. He was like "dale que la tenemos" " don't worry be happy" "show me that smile" lol. This was my first time doing a photoshoot and I really loved the energy and the expression behind boudoir images. I wanted to start feeling sexy in my own skin, and doing a boudoir shoot, became much more than just being sexy, it really allowed me to see another side of myself that I may have not even known was there. Thank you Richard read more

Richard Rosario Really Delivers! With Covid-19 looming over NYC this spring, what is a girl to do for her sweet 16?! With months passing and the dress getting tighter, we were really worried about getting photographs to commemorate the celebration, because pictures are all you really have left after the birthday!!! I have no regrets about choosing richard rosario. He offered a reasonably priced package that met all our needs, and he really delivered when the day came. His studio was clean, safe and accessible to the hairdresser, make-up artist and the environment was calm and relaxing. I have one daughter who despises taking pictures and he was able to make a relationship with her that allowed me to get pictures I could only dream of. After the shoot it was merely hours, I got the proofs and were able to see what pictures I wanted (which was all of them!) The photo quality was so crisp and clear.Very professional. He did an amazing job and now we have wonderful memories to cherish, and photos to use at the venue when we can finally have the party itself. Bottom line ..... I definitely would recommend Richard Rosario! read more

Let me first say this man is a god send! From the time we scheduled our appointment, choosing of package, to the date of our photos, and lastly to the finishing product of an amazingly beautiful book. We couldn't be anymore happier. What ever you can imagine Richard can deliver that and more. Richard isn't just your normal photographer. He is a gem, what you see is what you get. There just isn't a dull moment. He takes pride in his work and is eager to answer any questions you might have throughout the process from start to finish. He captures every detail, very patient, takes his time and is truly just amazing at what he does. He makes his pictures come to life. With that being said I can't forget his amazing assistant, Makeeda. She is like no other. These two are the perfect duo in creating magic to the photos. Richard is an amazing soul and Makeeda a doll. They make you feel so comfortable and like family. In which they definitely are family to us now. We couldn't be any happier with our photos. Thank you for capturing our maternity and newborn photos. We definitely will be coming back for years to come. read more

I am beyond pleased with my experience and with the overall outcome of my photos! I was going through a tough situation where I wasn't so happy with myself and did not want any pictures, but after meeting Richard and seeing his work, I was immediately inspired and excited! Unfortunately, I gave birth before my maternity session but his assistant was really good with rescheduling us and helping us with our package. The day of our newborn session was amazing! Richard listened to our ideas and worked with us patiently to achieve our goal and make sure we were happy. He made it so fun and easy and everyone was so sweet and helpful. I cried with joy the day I picked up my package! Richard gave me a gift without knowing, he had put my family before my eyes for the very first time and I was soo in love. I cannot explain how blessed I felt looking at how beautifully he photographed us and the moments he captured of my children; I felt complete! I highly recommend Richard Rosario Photography, not only is his work amazing but his passion and energy is unbeatable! You will not be disappointed! read more

Richard Rosario is a fantastic professional photographer, and is a very pleasant person to work with. I was highly pleased with the quality of his work. I called up a few photographers and within a few minutes of speaking to Richard I knew immediately that I wanted to use him. His personality shone through. Other photographers sounded nice, but they sounded like it was just a business transaction. You could hear Richard's enthusiasm, and assurance that he would do a good job which he did. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone, and I would certainly use him in the future. I really didn't know what would be good poses or background lighting, and Richard made it very easy and very comfortable. Richard took numerous photos and poses so I could choose just the right ones. He edited and delivered the photos to me right on time. So to sum it all up, he is a professional photographer, has a great personality, makes the session fun and pleasant, and does what he says on time. What more can you ask? Use him, you will be glad that you did. I am. read more

I did my maternity shoot with Richard about a year ago. I am currently booked for a family shoot he is the best!!! When I booked Richard a year ago he was highly recommended by a few of my co-workers. I compared him with other photographers and his price blow my mind. Also the quality of his work is outstanding. I had so many great pictures that it was hard to only choose 10 for my final package. When I receive my pictures they came in a beautiful box with a usb drive chain shaped in a metal heart it was all so beautiful. I shared my pictures at my shower and social media and I have gotten so many beautiful comments and a lot of questions about Richard. I have also recommended him to multiple people especially expecting mothers and families. Also during my shoot he included my family which was beautiful and my out door pictures were amazing. Overall he deserves more than 5 starts. Thank you Richard for making my first shoot an enjoyable experience for my family and I. Can't wait for my family shoot now with my babygirl who is one. read more

Richard is a talented and dedicated photographer. I had a great time with him. I contacted him about scheduling a newborn session and within 24 hours I received a phone call from him introducing himself and reviewing his credentials. Soon after I received an email with a gallery of his work as well as a price list with services. Prior to the shoot we discussed what style we were heading towards and he was very open to suggested poses and looks. I emailed him different photos that I was interested in replicating and he was extremely receptive. Due to special circumstances I needed a photographer that would be willing to travel. We had an at home shoot. He arrived early with props and was extremely professional. The session was easy going and he took his time with my little one. The photographs were available to me the next day and they were all gorgeous. I had a difficult time choosing. All in all it was a positive experience and I look forward to working with Richard in the near future. read more

This is my third child and I've done photo shoots for all three but this was by far the best experience I have had. He takes his time with taking pictures. He gives you time to share the ideas you have and send it to him in advance so he is prepared to shoot what you want. Our session was 3 hours and I had the hardest time picking which pictures I wanted. I got my printed copies today and I am absolutely obsessed. The presentation of the photos was perfect and the picture quality was awesome. If your hesitant about price let in mind that you're not getting small regular pictures. They are framed with a thick border and boxed perfectly. I did the maternity shot with before and after pictures of not just me but my older kids and I have no complaints. I would recommend him to everyone. I can't wait to take family portraits yearly with him. I have not one bad thing to say. He makes you feel comfortable and his staff is extremely friendly and patient. He was worth every penny! read more

I couldn't have asked for anything more. Richard comes highly reviewed and for good reason. His energy, dedication and amazing eye made this experience (which I've put off for 3 years) so empowering. Mix that in with the top notch follow up and customer service both Richard and Makeeda provided, it left me with the desire to go back for more and more. I went in looking for professional headshots and left with a portfolio of choices to push my confidence and business to the next level. Richards website made the selection process seamless and everything took less than a week to complete. Choosing Richard was by far the best move I could have made, and I look forward to letting everyone know that if you want to move to the next level or if you want capture your life in the moment so you can remember that moment forever, Richard is the first choice to make. Thank you Richard for helping me leave 2018 with an amazing experience that will be with me for years to come. ;) read more

When my mother told me she wanted a photo shoot for her 60th birthday, Richard was the first person that came to mind. And as I expected, He did not disappoint !! It was arranged on such a short notice but Richard still accommodated us for the day we requested and I am so grateful for that. This shoot would not have been possible if he didn't squeeze us in. He made us feel at home and he took his time to make sure my mom was very comfortable. All the pictures were beautiful and difficult to choose, because we loved them all! And the turn around time was probably one of the quickest I've experienced. We received the pictures in one day, I didn't think he would be so prompt. I used him for a shoot over 6 years ago and I also had an amazing experience and this was why I didn't hesitate to use him again. He's a very friendly guy and gets the job done! If you need a photographer in the Bronx, or in the NYC area, he's your guy!! And his prices are affordable too! read more

I honestly don't know where to begin! This experience was absolutely amazing and super comfortable. This was my first time doing a maternity shoot and I didn't really know what to expect. I just knew what kind of pictures I wanted and how I wanted to feel. I wanted to feel powerful and irresistible which is kind of hard when you're pregnant, weak and tired lol. However Richard totally made me feel like I was a goddess. He was able to capture the passion that I wanted to show between my Fiance and I. He even hand delivered our final products instead of having us drive to the Bronx again. I wasn't quite prepared to pay the amount that I had paid (my choice because I increased the package) but I do totally believe it was worth it. The final product was amazing, the slideshow he created was even more beautiful, the music was perfecttttt, and he was super accommodating. Thank you again Richard, for making this an experience we will always remember! read more

What an AMAZING experience! This was my partner and I first time doing a professional shoot and we couldn't be happier with the turnout. We were gifted a maternity session with Richard Rosario Photography & I will admit I was very nervous at first. I expressed to Richard how awkward I am taking pics and how I have never done it before but Richard assured me & my partner that we by no means necessary need to have any experience. Richard guided us every step of the way. He encouraged us and made us feel very comfortable during the shoot and most importantly confident. We provided an example of our vision and Richard 1000% delivered! In fact, We loved our photos sooo much that we decided to upgrade our package! We cannot wait to return for our new born shoot. Richard you are the best thank you so much for capturing all these beautiful photos for us. We are so excited for the next one. - Kayla & Max read more

Now I understand why when I asked around for recommendations for a professional photographer everyone said call Richard Rosario! I've been postponing new headshots and marketing photos for at least a year now. My last experience with a photographer was not enjoyable at all and was very uncomfortable but nonetheless I got it done. But this time around it was different I really loved the way my pictures came out and Richard and his team are awesome. My only complaint is it's too hard to chose. Can't wait to come back for family photos. I've never been one to pay for professional pictures but after seeing what quality photos look like I'm all for it! Don't be like me and waste so many years without getting professional photos of your family, shoot don't feel guilty of getting vanity shots of yourself! It's really worth it! read more

This was my second time working with Richard for headshots, and the experience was just as great as the first. His studio setup is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully arranged with different backgrounds and spaces depending on the look you're going for. Richard is incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He takes his time to make sure you get the exact style of photo you want, offers guidance when needed, and truly collaborates with you to capture your best shot. His communication is excellent, he responds quickly, and he carries himself with consistent professionalism. The quality of his work speaks for itself. My photos came out amazing, even before the final edits, and I will definitely continue working with Richard for any future high-quality images I need. Highly recommend!!! read more
