NYC Film Photo Session Experience: Real Film, Real Moments

$500.00

“Jon made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, paid attention to lighting and details, and wasn’t afraid to give us instructions to help our photos turn out incredible.” -Lydia M.

Book a uniquely authentic photo session where we shoot through a roll of 35mm film together and you get all of the results (usually 35-36 frames) after development. Perfect for a couple or solo session!

Film is a physical medium, and can exhibit physical quirks like light leaks and different colors, and that’s half the fun!

Once you book your shoot, we’ll reach out with a calendar to schedule your session.

**Photo shoot must take place below 96th Street on Manhattan, in New York City.**

What's Included:

✓ Professional 35mm film photographer

✓ 1 full roll of premium film (35-36 shots)

✓ Film development & professional scanning

✓ All high-resolution digital files

✓ Up to 1 hour shooting time

✓ Manhattan locations (your choice)

✓ Guidance & posing throughout
