New York Photographer, Portrait, Commercial, Pets and more…
New York Photographer (.com), is the new blog for Photography By Roy
My name is Roy Somech, and I am a professional photographer serving clients in the New York metro area.
I work with clients in NYC, Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey.
The majority of my work is Portraits, specifically, Newborns & Babies, Maternity, Couples/Engagements, Family Portraits, and Children. I also do plenty of Pet Photography as well as Commercial work (anything from Headshots, to Bands and Product Photography).
Scroll down to read some of the latest posts, and take a moment to visit the portfolio sites ------>>>>
Aside from what should be obvious (things like high quality work and creativity in your session) I also like to think that my super laid back and friendly personality play a big part in why clients have me come back to their homes again and again.
I always walk into every session with a ton of patience and willingness to do whatever it take to get the shot.
Please take a moment to review some of the things my clients have had to say by visiting the Testimonials page.

A couple of months ago I was contacted by Lauren, who wanted to surprise her boyfriend with a portrait of his dog Mikey (Boston Terrier).
Here is the shot that was ultimately chosen to get framed and hung:

When going 3 weeks without a day off, it’s messages like this that really help energize me and help me keep the high level of work I strive for with every session…
Hi Roy,
Just wanted to let you know we ordered a few more pics from Grace’s 6 month session. She is now 18 months and going to be a big sister….we are expecting in October. We are now living in MI and wish you were closer by to have done her 1 year photos and photos of the new baby on the way. We had her one years taken by someone here and I have to say the pics you took of her in the past way stood above in quality and capturing her true look and personality. Anyway, I had to order a few more pics from her 6 month sesson before it expired! Great job Roy! We miss you!

Engagement-Portraits season is in full force, I wish I had more time to post after each day’s shoot but it doesn’t seem doable.
Here are a couple of Stacy’s favorite shots from her session with Craig and their dog Lilly.
May 11, 2010 - 8:40 pm - Wow! What a beautiful couple!
May 12, 2010 - 8:25 am - love it
The past couple of weeks seem like a bit of a blur, but i’m pretty sure there were high-fives all around when we got the twins to sleep on the bookshelf.

First twins-sleeping-on-a-shelf-shot for me.
Andrew and Grahame are about 6 weeks old. I had a great time working with Jane and her sister Laura to capture these newborn portraits.
On April 7th I was flying back to New York after spending a few days in sunny Scottsdale AZ.
Our flight came in around 2am, and at 10am I had an appointment in New Jersey with Judy, who’s twins (Jamie and Kaden) were close to celebrating their 100th day.
My early appointment with Judy made me turn down $600 (flight voucher for each of us) from US Airways who had overbooked our flight and was looking for volunteers to spend an extra night in AZ.
Normally I would have taken that offer. A free flight to Alaska isn’t something I’d say no to very quickly, but I knew how booked up things were when I get back, and Judy had already tried to book a session a couple of months ago but we couldn’t find the right availability for her (book early!)
Having the baby photographed on their 100th day Korean tradition I believe. Judy who is Chinese had her husband watch some of the session via Skype (from China)!

Surprisingly this was my first set of boy/girl twins, it has always been either 2 boys or 2 girls until now!

Stacy and Billy live in New Rochelle (Westchester) and had hired me for their maternity portraits earlier this month.
I wanted to blog about this session from the moment I left their beautiful home but haven’t had a chance until now.
This photo of Stacy sitting was probably the very last shot of the day. It happens often, when that one extra/last photograph can become my favorite from the entire session.

Stacy had a printout of some shots she liked and wanted to try and replicate, I’m not sure if we achieved that specific goal at the end, but Stacy was pretty happy with the results.
In her own words:
“Thank you so much for getting us the maternity photo gallery so quickly!! I don’t know how I am ever going to decide on what photos I want to get!!! They look amazing and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of the session.”
Looking forward to their newborn session in June.

Someone commented about my posts not being very entertaining , so i’ll try harder.
I’ve blogged before about Liz and Eric my clients in Long Beach… This session was for their friends Gina and Chris who just had a baby boy named Ty.
When I walked into their home a couple of weeks ago I noticed 2 things right away…
1) Ty’s awesome mo-hawk.
2) The turquoise painted piece of furniture that seemed to beg to be photographed.
I was happy Gina was ok with me putting Ty to sleep on that piecer, because once Ty passed out he was pretty happy anywhere , it didn’t hurt that their home had great natural light!

Long Beach Newborn Session
The weather is getting nicer and so now is the time to book any outdoors sessions including Engagement or Couple portraits around NYC.
Yesterday I hired by Anna and Sal in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to photograph their gorgeous rottweiler, Blu.
Blu is 5 years old, she’s not only gorgeous but also a real sweetheart of a dog. It was about as easy as it gets working with her, and she is actually incredibly photogenic. it was hard to choose which 2 pictures to post here…

A couple of portraits from Ebelle-Gabriella’s newborn session from last week.
Ebelle was 2 weeks old and when she got into her sleeping zone she wasn’t having it any other way… no complaints though, it made for some great sleeping portraits.
