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).

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.
