Headshots, events and family photos.
I’m Michael. During the week it’s mostly executive headshots, team days and company events. Weekends are families, parties and the occasional model portfolio. I work all over New York City, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut.
For companies
Corporate photography
Most of my work is for companies: headshots for the website and LinkedIn, team days at the office, and coverage of conferences, galas and launches. Natural-looking photos your marketing, HR and PR people can actually use.
Executive headshots & portraits
Polished headshots and leadership portraits for your website, LinkedIn, press releases and annual reports, in studio or on location.
Team headshot days
A mobile studio set up at your office. Every employee photographed with one consistent look and minimal time away from work.
Events & conferences
Conferences, galas, award nights and product launches: keynotes, networking and details, delivered quickly for social media and PR.
Brand & commercial
Workplace, hospitality, product and food photography for marketing campaigns, recruiting pages and menus.
For private clients
Families, parties & models
Family & milestones
Family portraits, maternity sessions and reunions across the Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey and New York City.
Parties & private functions
Birthdays, showers, anniversaries and holiday parties. Mostly candid, with group photos when you want them.
Model & actor portfolios
Agency-ready portfolios, comp card updates and headshots, with direction that brings out your range and personality.

Team headshot days
How a headshot day goes
Tell me the date, roughly how many people, and which room I can borrow. I get there early to set up lights and a backdrop, people come in a few at a time, and nobody is away from their desk for long.
Afterwards everyone picks their favourites from a private online gallery, and I send over the retouched files. For events it’s simpler still: you send the run of show, I show up early and stay out of the way.
What I need from you
- A date, or a couple of options
- Roughly how many people
- A room with space for a backdrop

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers about corporate headshots, event coverage, family sessions and booking with Michaels Photography in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Corporate photography
What services does Michaels Photography offer?
Michaels Photography, based in New York, offers corporate photography (executive headshots, team headshot days, conference and gala coverage, and brand, product and food photography) as well as family portraits, maternity sessions, private event photography and model and actor portfolios.
Where is Michaels Photography located, and which areas do you serve?
Michaels Photography is based in New York in Rockland County. We photograph clients across New York City, Rockland, Westchester and Orange counties in New York, Bergen County in New Jersey and Fairfield County in Connecticut, including Manhattan, White Plains, Stamford and Paramus.
Do you offer on-site corporate headshots at our office?
Yes. We bring a portable studio to your office and photograph each team member with the same lighting and background, so every headshot matches across your website, LinkedIn and company directory. Sessions are scheduled around your team to keep time away from work to a minimum.
How long does a corporate headshot session take?
On a team headshot day, each person usually needs only a few minutes in front of the camera. Executive portrait sessions take longer to allow for different looks and locations. We plan the schedule with you before the shoot.
What should we wear for professional headshots?
Wear well-fitted clothing in solid colors, avoid busy patterns and large logos, and bring a second outfit if you can. We guide every person on posing and expression during the session.
Do you photograph conferences, galas and corporate events?
Yes. We cover conferences, summits, galas, award ceremonies, product launches and company parties, including keynotes, panels, networking, awards and venue details, with images ready for social media, PR and internal communications.
Can we use the photos on our website, LinkedIn and marketing?
