New York Photographer — Newborns — Pets — Baby — Materinty — Family Portraits - bio picture

Welcome to the new Blog

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 ------>>>>


What you can expect when hiring me

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.

Michael – Newborn Christmas Portrait || Mount Vernon Newborn Photographer || Westchester NY

It was the end of the session, and I asked Michael’s mom if there was any other shot that she had in mind… The answer came pretty quickly and before I knew it the Santa outfit was already on the now sleeping (3 week old) baby.

I don’t use the Christmas tree often but in this case the “conditions” were perfect: A Beautifully decorated tree with plenty of gifts, a sleeping newborn baby dressed in a santa outfit and a box that fit him just perfectly…

He was so comfortable sleeping there that we almost didn’t feel the need to get him out of there…

Best newborn-Christmas card ever! :)

Owen – Manhattan Baby Portraits, Studio session on location.

Since I just posted about babies and their dogs, it didn’t feel right to not blog about the following baby portrait session.

Owen was 6 months when I photographed him with his dog last month in their Manhattan apartment…

Jewelry/ Product Photography Studio on location – Long Island, Westchester and NYC

In the peak of the holiday season rush, when I’ve been going from one portrait session to the next,  it was a nice change of pace when on Monday I got to shoot a commercial (jewelry photography) job.

I was hired by a very successful and well known jewelry designer who needed product (and model) shots for her upcoming website.

Andre & Gigi – Newborn and Pet photographer in Jericho Long Island

Its not unusual to hear my clients request a portrait of their baby along with the family dog…

Gigi, the family’s King Charles Cavalier was a very willing subject… Though 7 week old Andre didn’t need any help in making an adorable photograph…

Nadya, 6 month || Baby portraits at home, Queens NY

Probably my favorite part of the holiday season is getting to work with my old clients and seeing their children (and family) grow.

You most likely don’t recognize this little girl named Nadya, who I photographed at her Howard Beach home yesterday… Nadya is the XOXO newborn in the newborn gallery… She is now 6 months old.
