Gotham Family Photos

Welcome to Gotham Family Photos, the premier family, child, and baby portrait photography studio in New York City and the Tri-State area. Our team, led by experienced photographers Brett Deutsch and Sherri Phillips, is dedicated to capturing the unique essence of your family through authentic and engaging portraits.

Our Story

At Gotham Family Photos, we understand that every family has a special bond, a shared history, and a unique dynamic that sets them apart. Our mission is to reveal and capture this heart and soul in our portraits. We believe that every moment, whether it's a milestone event or a spontaneous laugh, is worth preserving as a memory.

Our journey began when Brett, an experienced photographer with a passion for documenting life, decided to focus on family photography. His ability to spot the spectacular in every individual and his knack for capturing authentic moments quickly made him a sought-after photographer in New York City. Sherri, who was working in advertising at the time, was drawn to Brett's talent and dedication to his craft. She soon joined him, bringing her own set of skills and experiences to the table.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of photography services, from maternity portraits to newborn hospital sessions, family photo shoots, and special event coverage. Our signature "Year in the Life" multi-portrait series follows your baby's transformation during the first year, capturing every moment from the first days to the first steps. We also provide christenings, baby-naming ceremonies, brises, and baptisms.

Our photography studio is located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, but we travel throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and beyond to capture your special moments. Whether you're looking for a relaxed, in-studio session or an on-location shoot that captures the beauty of your surroundings, we have the expertise and flexibility to accommodate your needs.

Our Approach

Our approach to family photography is simple: we want to reveal the heart and soul that makes your family unique. We don't force you into posed molds or try to capture a specific image. Instead, we let life unfold naturally during our sessions, capturing the action, interaction, reflection, and flat-out silliness that makes your family special. Our technical skills in natural and studio lighting, composition, and post-production ensure that every portrait is of the highest quality.
