The Dress

I know how important your Quinceañera dress is—it’s more than just a gown; it’s a symbol of your journey and a reflection of your style. Every detail, from the sparkle of the bodice to the way the skirt flows, deserves to be captured beautifully.
I make sure to highlight the elegance and uniqueness of your dress in every shot, so you can always look back and remember just how special you felt on your big day.

“It was a joy and two hours that I will remember for the rest of my life.”

My daughter really wanted her Senior High School pictures taken in New York City – we looked at every website we could find that offered senior picture packages. We both really liked the look of the photos on Roy’s website. They were in the city, trendy, the kids looked natural…he was so kind to work us into his schedule on our next visit to New York.

The photo shoot was a WONDERFUL experience! He made my daughter feel like a super model. It was a joy and two hours that I will remember for the rest of my life.

We just saw the picture proofs and they are FANTASTIC! I always knew my daughter was beautiful and Roy captured that beauty – by showing not only her physical beauty but also her beautiful personality shines through! I don’t know how we’ll pick which photos to keep as they are all keepers 🙂

I would recommend Photography by Roy without hesitation. I am a very satisfied customer. My youngest daughter can’t wait for her senior photo session with Roy in a couple of years.

Thank you again Roy!! We are fans!!! Pamela

“Best Decision”

Using “Photography by Roy” is definitely the best decision I could have made for my grandson’s senior portraits!  I contacted Roy months in advance for our appointment and was so pleased with his professionalism and his personal attention to detail.  
He was so very polite and personable during the shoot and captured my grandson’s essence and personality perfectly.  Don’t hesitate……Photography by Roy will not disappoint!!

“We felt as if we had a tour guide, photographer and friend all on one

We came from a small town in TN to NYC for my son’s senior pictures/vacation. We were unfamiliar with the city of course and Roy was so professional and kind, assisting us with the transportation issues and being flexible with us with the anticipated rain. He was very personable.

We felt as if we had a tour guide, photographer and friend all on one! We loved his creativity and also asking our opinions as to capture what we wanted as well. He was very interactive with our 6 yr old, engaging him as much as possible in conversation and helping to include him in the special day.

The pictures were online quicker than anticipated. We couldn’t be happier with them all! Now the daunting tasks of choosing out of so many great ones, but as he said “that’s a good problem”! We wholeheartedly recommend Roy for your special occasion. He is a gem. I made sure to snap a picture of him photographing my son, so we will remember him connected to that special day.”

“As soon as I met him, I felt extremely comfortable and relieved

The greatness that empowers Roy and his work are absolutely indescribable! I live in Ohio, right near Pittsburgh, and when my aunt and I saw Roy’s work online we just knew that we had to go to him for my Senior pictures. At first, I’m only being honest, I was super nervous and actually a little scared because my Aunt and I were meeting up with some guy in the middle of New York City, but as soon as I met him, I felt extremely comfortable and relieved. We got right into taking the photos and Roy made me feel natural and beautiful and that is something that I have never felt.
He spent so much time on my session and genuinely cared about how I felt and he wanted my intel on everything. The day of my session, on our way home from NYC, Roy had already sent me a few untouched sneak peaks and I cried, not because I was sad but because I looked at myself and felt beautiful for the first time in my life. He sent me my online photo’s shortly after my session and I was surprised at how quickly he got them to me, and they were perfect I might add.
Not only is he patient and non-judgmental but he is real, and just the ultimate photographer. If you are looking for someone to capture a part of you or someone that you love in a way that you have never seen, go to Roy.
I have never been so thankful and have never felt so sure with a decision in my life.”

“This session was one of the highlights of our NYC Spring Break trip!

Roy is such a phenomenal photographer, and I’m so glad we decided to book my son’s senior photo session with him.
This session was one of the highlights of our NYC Spring Break trip! Roy is very kind, patient, and professional. He’s great at planning a shoot that compliments your son/daughter’s personality.

By the end of the shoot we felt as if we were chatting with an old friend.
If you’re considering traveling to NYC for a Senior session with Roy, I highly encourage you to do so. The experience and the photos are such precious memories!

“Patient and fun, and also very professional.

We recently visited New York from Louisiana to have my daughters senior pictures taken. We had to change dates at the last minute and he was very accommodating at making it work for us. Roy worked with my daughter for hours taking photos while capturing the many beautiful areas around New York. He took his time, was patient and fun, and also very professional.
Roy had our pictures ready and emailed to us within only a few days. They came out absolutely stunning. We are planning on returning in two years to have him take my sons senior pictures.

I am beyond satisfied and would highly recommend Roy.

“The photos came out beyond our expectation.

Roy did our daughter’s senior photo shoots as well as family photo. We love New York City and we always want to have a photo shoot in the city. As soon as we met him, we felt comfortable right the way. He is very professional and easy going. He picks the best background. The photos came out beyond our expectation. We will definitely use him again.
