I just adore these two!

I love family photography, and it’s particularly fun to explore sibling dynamics. Maddie and Bella did not disappoint!

Our main objective was portraits and headshots of each girl individually, but it was fun to get a few of them together too.

We did a mix of studio portraits, and outdoors. It was about 900 degrees outside, and these gals couldn’t have been more patient. What troopers! Fortunately, we weren’t outside for long.

For reference, here’s a photo I took of Madison from a shoot we did during the “arctic blast” this winter.

Maybe one of these days we’ll get to work together in moderate weather. Dare to dream!

Daisy was wonderful to work with! We did a family photoshoot on the beach with my 5 month old son and the photos came out beautifully. She was incredibly patient and was able to get my baby to smile and laugh and capture wonderful memories for our family. Highly recommend!

AMAZING!!!! PROFESSIONAL!!!! SO FUN!!!Daisy is the best!! She took the most breathtaking photos of my daughter. My daughter had an absolute blast and instantly adored Daisy. She made her feel so comfortable, so beautiful and on top of the world. We cannot wait to use her again!!

Daisy was a pleasure to work with and our maternity photos turned out amazing - it was SO hard to choose our favorites! She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and is insanely talented. We can't wait to work with her again for family photos :)

We had an amazing experience with Daisy, professional and wonderful with children. I was nervous how our session would go, but my son was totally calm and cooperative. She really got to know more about him beforehand so during the session he was very engaged. Highly recommend her! The only downside is that her studio is up a couple of flight of stairs, but you can keep the stroller downstairs.

Daisy was wonderful and took some really amazing pictures of our newborn. It was just a really pleasant, comfortable experience for everyone and we now have some really great memories to cherish. We very happy and really thrilled with the results.

Daisy is absolutely amazing! Not only does she take fabulous photos but she goes above and beyond to make her subjects (and their parents) feel comfortable! I have never had a photographer ask about my child's interests and favorite music so that they had a guaranteed subject to talk about while their favorite music played in the background! The next time you're searching for a photographer look no further. Daisy is the BEST!!!

From the first communication, Daisy and her team were wonderful. I communicated with them seamlessly through email to pick the time/date for my babies photos. My family decided to go to Daisy’s studio for newborn photos. We immediately walked into a calm and welcome environment. Please note that we did walk two flights of stairs. You can leave your stroller at the bottom of the stairs. Daisy and her assistant were wonderful and quick getting family photos along with just my daughter’s. My daughter was a bit fussy but Daisy was able to calm her and get the most adorable photos with ease.Communication post photos were great too. Photos were available for us to review earlier than she said they would be and picking a package from the shoot for prints was easy as well. I would highly recommend Daisy and look forward to using her in the future.

Daisy was amazing! My partner and I scheduled a maternity shoot with Daisy and she was prepared right when we got there, very personable and made my pregnant partner very comfortable. My partner also has some pregnancy shots she had seen and wanted to recreate for her own shoot, and Daisy was more than willing to make her vision come alive. We had a great time while we were there and the photos came out beautifully. Daisy makes the whole experience fun, comfortable and easy!

Daisy is an amazing artist-photographer and her work is unique and inspiring! We had our shoot in Central Park and it was well-organized, fun and truly unforgettable experience. My mother is naturally a shy person and she doesn't speak English. Daisy gave us so much encouragement and extra time, so the shooting turned into an event of touching moments! And the pictures came out so beautiful! In addition, DBP's customer service support was flawless which made the whole process enjoyable :) Thank you!

Daisy is amazing! Communication from the very beginning was phenomenal. She thinks of everything: hair/makeup prep, clothing and weather recommendations year round, shoot locations, and directions. She is also amazing with kids. But most importantly, Daisy is an incredibly talented photographer! Our shoot, photos, and entire experience was perfect!

We used Daisy for head shots for my four year old son. From the moment I reached out to her, she proved to be an invaluable resource who was willing to answer all of my questions and provide ample resources to help me prepare for the shoot. From the moment we entered her studio, my son was completely comfortable and was charmed by Daisy's warmth and patience. The photos came out incredible. Daisy has an amazing eye. I would highly recommend Daisy as a photographer.

My family and I had the best experience with Daisy! We came on vacation to NY from San Diego. Daisy brought my vision to life and I can't thank her enough. She is wonderful with kids, my girls loved her :) She has a great eye and is very creative. Daisy stayed in contact with me prior to our session to help with outfits, locations and all the 100 questions I had - she was super helpful throughout the whole process. I loved how our family session turned out. So extremely happy with the experience and photos! Thank you Daisy XOXO

Everything was prepared and the shoot went perfectly. Daisy was very accommodating and answered all of my questions. They were extremely nice and professional. I would use her again if I need more photos to be taken. Her studio is easy to get to. And you can communicate with Daisy or her assistant and they will reach out to you promptly and answer all and any questions. It was a great experience and a great shoot and I LOVED my pictures.

Daisy is a pro and an artist. Her photos are beautiful, well composed, full of life and movement. Daisy's headshots / photos of my 10 year old daughter turned out amazing! My daughter had a great time and the entire process was easy!!!! I highly recommend Daisy and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Working with Daisy was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. She was so easy to work with and was very responsive to my questions. You can tell that she really cares about her work and making her clients happy. When I saw the pictures, I was blown away. Daisy took so many stunning pictures that it was hard to decide on my favorites. I highly recommend Daisy!

Highly recommend Daisy for your family's photos. She photographed us in Central Park and the photos just turned out beautifully. My children and husband weren't exactly looking forward to a photo shoot, but Daisy kept everything very casual and fun and we all just enjoyed ourselves and have a beautiful memory to show for our hour in the park. I'm so happy we chose Daisy!

Our family HIGHLY recommends Daisy for your children’s head shots. She immediately engaged our girls in the shoot and captured their individual personalities in each of their pictures. 5 stars all around!!

Visiting NYC from Canada and looking for headshots for our 14 year old daughter. Daisy really delivered! Any photographer can take pictures, what Daisy does is different - she works hard to capture the essence of who our daughter is, and she nailed it! We are thrilled the pictures and the process was easy. I recommend outdoor shots as Daisy knows great spots that make interesting backdrops. Don’t hesitate to call Daisy, you’ll be very happy you did!

After researching photographers for some time, I decided to choose Daisy because her previous work was stellar and it just felt right. Daisy was warm, personable, inviting and made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease. The photos are phenomenal, our family and friends were in awe of them. I can’t say enough about Daisy. We do not live in the New York area but I would not hesitate to travel to use her again!

Daisy is a true talent as both a photographer and in her ability to interact with children of all ages. She has captured my family’s true essence and love over the years. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

My daughter had a dance photo shoot with Daisy. She was incredibly warm and fun to work with. She is brilliant!!! The pictures were beautiful - our friends and family were so impressed. There were so many great shots we couldn't decide which ones to get. Anyone thinking of having a dance photo shoot should choose Daisy!

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Daisy. Not only is she talented, skilled, and professional; she is also warm and friendly and makes you feel comfortable the minute you walk into her studio. My daughter is very shy and within minutes Daisy had her posing and smiling. Daisy is also very good at returning emails and answering any questions. I highly recommend her.

My daughter had such a great experience with Daisy Beatty! This was her first time getting headshots and was really nervous! Daisy made her feel very relaxed and she ended up having a lot of fun! Not to mention, we got some incredible photos!

I booked a photo shoot for our family of four in New York City and we had the best time with Daisy! She is a joy to work with - professional, fun, relaxed, and great personality. Our sons loved her and we had a great session. The photographs turned out amazing and we had a huge selection to choose from. We recommend her to anyone!

I booked a photo shoot for my daughter with Daisy during our recent visit to NYC. Daisy was such a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. The booking process was easy and effortless. The shoot itself was fun and Daisy chose a great location for the shoot - overall, it was one of my daughter's highlights of our visit to NYC. The photos which we received back from Daisy after the shoot were amazing and bring back such great memories. I would definitely recommend Daisy Beatty Photography for any photo shoot and will definitely book her again during our next visit to NYC.

Daisy is not only talented.... she really cares. She went out of her way to make sure my daughter felt very comfortable ...which was a plus for us! Great work!!

I went to Daisy Beatty to get head shots for my daughter not knowing what to expect given that it's often difficult to get my daughter to focus.From the second we walked in, Daisy had a magic touch and warmth that instantly helped my daughter to focus on both the camera and the tasks at hand. My daughter was enjoying herself so much that I, her own mother, became a distraction to her as she was modeling for the photos. I can't believe to tell you how amazing the photos came out and how my daughter still talks about the experience .Completely amazing experience and unparalleled to anything else we could have done.

I decided to book a studio shoot for my wife on her first Mother's Day. As I went from one photographer to the next I wasn't really finding a lot of originality among the group, and many photographers were unresponsive or seemed to be flaky. Getting our 10 month year old prepped and out for a photo shoot was not going to be easy and we needed someone reliable. Enter Daisy, who convinced me to use the city for our studio and took us for an amazing session in Central Park. We got a lot of great shots in an hour and compared to some of the other photographers, the price is really affordable too. These pictures will be with our family forever and I'm grateful she was able to capture this moment in our history.

Daisy is simply amazing!! The pictures came out amazing and she has a keen attention to detail, she knew my daughter is crazy about Elmo. She surprised my daughter with an Elmo puppet!! My daughter was shy at first and at the end of the shoot, she was sitting in Daisy’s lap and reviewing the pictures together. We definitely will use Daisy’s services again!!

We worked with Daisy for our maternity photos and were incredibly happy with her work! She is professional and responsive, but on top of that she has a great eye and takes amazing photos! It was almost impossible to slim down our photo selection from our sunset beach shoot - they were all so good! We highly recommend Daisy!

Daisy did an amazing job! I was impressed on how she managed the shoot while at the same time attending to my baby’s need (diaper change/feeding). She has a lot of patience and is a sweetheart. I highly recommend you guys book her!

I had an amazing experience with Daisy. I couldn't be happier with the photos and the experience that I had on this photoshoot. She made the experience extremely fun despite the fact that we had to be on the Brooklyn Bridge for 5 am for graduation photos. The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Thank you Daisy for an amazing experience and amazing photos.

I set up a newborn photo shoot with Daisy and I couldn’t be happier! She is professional and friendly. She made the experience smooth and enjoyable. She responds quickly to emails. I received my proofs and edited images very quickly. She was great with my one week old daughter. I never felt uncomfortable or uneasy. The pictures turned out great and I am very happy with my purchased images. I would definitely recommend Daisy and I would definitely use her again for photos in the future!

Working with Daisy was amazing! She is very accommodating to her clients simultaneously balancing her creative vision. From our family photo session to receiving the finished product, her management and delivery were extremely professional and without error. As detail oriented as I credit myself to be, on a 5 star rating scale I would easily award her 5+. We look forward to working with her on projects in the future.

My 13 year old daughter did dance photos in NYC and Daisy made it such a fun experience even though it was 25 degrees outside! Daisy gave us helpful tips and was very accommodating, upbeat and encouraging. We would absolutely use her again for photos! The photos are priceless. So glad we did this!

My 9-year-old had a blast. Daisy was awesome from the very beginning with scheduling and communicating with us. The photo shoot was so much fun with my daughter dancing to “Baby Shark” and listening to her type of music. We took some great outdoor shoots even though it was so cold outside. The pictures are beautiful, and it was so hard choosing. I would highly recommend. We can’t wait to see her again.

We loved Daisy - highly, highly recommend her!! She took incredible photos of us and our newborn and she is literally the baby whisperer. We totally did not appreciate how much patience and work it requires to photograph a newborn until we were there and saw her work with Harry - it's no joke and Daisy was so awesome with him. We can't say enough wonderful things about her!! Also, really appreciate that she asked me about my "good side" ... I forgot to mention this to last two professional photographers we've used and I am super appreciative that Daisy asked, the pictures with us and Harry are so much better for it!!

Daisy was incredible to work with for professional head shots. Pictures were beyond perfect. She was super accommodating, fun, and captured natural moments. She is also very responsive and provided great guidance in advance. I would definitely hire her again!

We came to NYC for Christmas and had Daisy take family pics in Central Park. She did an amazing job and made the experience so enjoyable. Even my teenagers had fun! I'm hoping to start a family tradition with pics by Daisy on all future visits to NYC. She's fantastic! The entire process of taking pics, to ordering was so smooth. Thank you so much Daisy!!

We had such a great experience taking pictures with Daisy. My five year old daughter had never taken professional pictures before and she had a fun time and was made to feel super special. The makeup/hair assistant was also great- made Zoey feel like a princess. We are in love with the pictures created and would highly recommend Daisy!

Caroline C.

Daisy did an amazing job photographing our newborn son. She came to our apartment and made the shoot so effortless and fun. The photos came out amazing- it was so hard having to pick! We will definitely work with Daisy again!

My family and I were vacationing in NYC and thought it would be fun to take family photos while we were there... so I started the search for a local photographer and found Daisy Beatty Photography. I instantly fell in LOVE with many of the photos she captured and had on her website. When I called, she and her team were very friendly and worked with me to find a time that fit our schedule. Daisy met us in Central Park - she made my family feel incredibly comfortable and became our friend quickly. Daisy knew just were to go, taking us to many iconic places in the park and capturing hundreds of FANTASTIC photos! And her turn around time was QUICK! Working with Daisy was an awesome experience from start to finish! I highly recommend Daisy Beatty Photography!
