When ilir and I were apartment hunting a few years ago, he brought me to see an apartment he liked in LIC. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the beautiful waterfront area, I was sold. Now, the park has expanded to the south and in addition to Gantry Plaza State Park, we also have Hunters …

Sisters and the Cherry Blossoms of Central Park

Cherry blossom season is one of the best times for family photos in NYC. Central Park is a top choice for having a family session with the blossoms, as places like Brooklyn Botanical Garden get very, very crowded and require a permit for photography. It’s a narrow window of time to catch the ephemeral blossoms, …

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.

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!
