We love it when clients who we’ve worked with in NYC move out of the city and bring us with them. We’ve photographed this family in various locations around the city over the past few years. After they relocated to Princeton, NJ, they had us over to photograph them on the Princeton University campus (the …

These family members enjoy being together, and it shows! We loved capturing the candid, happy moments of this reunion as well as many posed large group and nuclear family portraits. They chose to hold this reunion in the Arthur Ross Pinetum in Central Park, which provided a beautiful backdrop for these shots.

Events are especially beloved by photographers who have a journalism background (like us!), for they keep us on our toes and bring about surprising captures and challenges. This bris, which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan, certainly ran the gamut of excitement, nervousness, relief, and joy. The richness of blending old and …

Beauty in the Chaos: Southampton Lifestyle Family Photography

by arthouseBeach, Children, Extended Families, Families, Southampton, The Hamptons January 23, 2024February 14, 2024Comments are Disabled

Sometimes photography sessions, or time with kids in general, can seem like wild chaos. It can be scary for an inexperienced photographer when they can’t control everyone, but we have learned to embrace such sessions because they bring about new possibilities for photos we’ve never captured, and it’s all the more satisfying when we nail …

A photo session with four kids on a day that was about 25 degrees Fahrenheit sounds like a recipe for disaster, but this family couldn’t be bothered less about the cold. They obviously loved being together and photographed and were delighted afterwards that ilir could get the great group shots that they are never able …

This couple welcomed an adorable baby boy in Chelsea! We decided on the title of the blog post due to the fact that the newly minted mother is a yoga instructor, which also explains the photo of the ‘om’ wall hanging at end of this post. This newborn was incredibly cooperative during the photography session, …

Very happy with our pictures from our anniversary! We have worked with Arthouse at a few events as well and Ilir is professional and truly an expert at creating great shots. Anytime we need pictures done near the city, he is our top pick!

Ilir did a fantastic job with our family photos in Central Park. We couldn't be any happier! He was so wonderful with our toddler and just an overall joy to work with. We will definitely be using arthouse again in the future for our photography needs!

I cannot say enough good things about Ilir and Arthouse Images! My introduction to him was through professional event photography, and more recently he did a gorgeous lifestyle shoot for our young family. It was a genuinely great time - Ilir is fun and easygoing, and had such a knack for engaging with our baby - these photos are going to be treasured forever!! In both event and lifestyle photography, he has a real gift for composition and for capturing these fleetingly beautiful moments. Very grateful to know him and can't wait to work with him many times again. Thank you Ilir!

Arthouse is amazing! Ilir somehow manages to create a story with every photo he takes. His photos make my 2 and 5 year old look like models, especially compared to the very awkward (but endearing) school picture. Ilir's patience with my family shows his experience with working with younger families and his desire to seek the perfect location and perfect lighting shows his detail in the finished photos.

Arthouse Images is always such a pleasure to work with! Even making my cranky toddler smile for photos; it’s truly impressive! Such great talent. I recommend them to everyone!

The BEST family photos we've ever taken!!! I am convinced Ilir is a magician. There's no other explanation for how perfectly he captured the personalities, dynamics, and spirits of all of us in the most gorgeous light and colors imaginable. His ability to meet kids exactly where they are in order to draw out their best for the camera is unparalleled. No doubt his endless patience and infinitely calm demeanor go a long way to make that happen! It is clear that he loves his work, and that comes across not only in the session, but in the masterpieces he then sends your way. Truly the best gift any family could give itself.

We’ve worked with Arthouse Images several times now, including a newborn photo shoot, and I am always so thrilled with the results. Ilir is fantastic with little ones. He makes them feel comfortable, doesn’t force anything and goes with their flow. He gets the images back to you so quickly and they are natural and relaxed, truly capturing the personality of our family. Can’t say enough good things!

We have a beautiful album of photos to share w/ our family thanks to Arthouse Images. Ilir went above and beyond to make sure we captured an array of backdrops for us to choose from. He was wonderful to work with and captured hundreds of smiles from my little cranky toddler who didn't sleep well the night before : ) Highly recommend if you are in the LIC neighborhood!
