New York 2026 Sessions & Education

Sessions & Education for 2026

Katherine’s calendar is often booked up to six months in advance. With her time in New York limited each year, we recommend booking your session well in advance.

  • Family sessions are relaxed, thoughtful and centred around genuine connection. Whether we meet among the trees of Central Park, wander the streets of Williamsburg, take in the views of Brooklyn Heights, or create something intimate in the Greenpoint studio, each session is designed to feel natural and unhurried.

    Sessions run for 60–90 minutes, allowing time for children to settle, explore and be fully themselves. I work closely with you throughout the shoot, gently guiding when needed while leaving space for real moments to unfold. The result is a collection of photographs that feel honest, emotive and timeless.

    You can expect a minimum of 30 carefully edited photographs, delivered in an online gallery within 14 days of your session.

    Sessions start at $2250 with $500 due upon booking.

  • Newborn sessions take place in the light-filled studio in Greenpoint, thoughtfully designed for a calm experience. These sessions are centred around your baby’s comfort and wellbeing, creating space for gentle moments and natural connection.

    Sessions run for 1–2 hours, allowing time for feeding, settling and pauses as needed. I provide a curated selection of wraps, blankets and neutral outfits, chosen to photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your baby and your family. In addition to my work as a photographer, I am trained as a postpartum doula, and I bring those baby-settling skills into every session.

    Parents and siblings are warmly invited to be photographed, capturing those early days together in a way that feels natural and meaningful.

    You will receive a minimum of 30 carefully edited photographs, delivered via an online gallery within 14 days.

    Sessions start at $2500 with $500 due upon booking.

  • I accept a limited number of wedding commissions in New York each year to ensure every couple receives my full attention, care and creative focus. This intentional approach allows me to work closely with you, offering a thoughtful, personalised experience from our first conversation through to the delivery of your wedding gallery.

    My wedding coverage includes 8 hours of photography, documenting your day with an elegant, storytelling approach that honours both the quiet moments and the celebration itself. You can expect a minimum of 500 beautifully edited photographs, delivered within 8 weeks.

    Collections begin at $8,500.

  • This one-day intensive workshop on May 28, 2026 is designed for photographers wanting to deepen their skills or beginners who want to launch their own newborn photography business. Held in my natural light studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the day offers a balanced combination of practical demonstration, education and open discussion.

    The workshop includes a live newborn session demonstration, where I share how I work gently and confidently with babies and families, from settling techniques to thoughtful posing and natural interaction. You’ll gain insight into creating calm, connected imagery while prioritising baby safety and comfort at every stage. You will also be able to take your own photographs for your portfolio during this demonstration.

    We’ll also move through an editing demonstration, where I walk through my process from selection to final delivery, focusing on consistency, colour, tone and efficiency. Alongside the creative elements, we’ll spend time discussing the business foundations of newborn photography, including: workflow, pricing, marketing, client communication and boundaries, with honest, real-world insight drawn from over a decade in the industry.

    Lunch is included, allowing space for conversation, connection and questions throughout the day.

    Tickets are $1500 with the workshop capped at 8 attendees.

  • Join me for an intimate, hands-on family photography class in New York. Taking place on June 10 and June 11. During this 3-hour session, you’ll observe my full approach as I photograph a real family, from directing and connecting to composing and shooting in real time. You’ll have the opportunity to photograph alongside me and capture photographs for your own portfolio.

    After the shoot, we’ll gather for a guided debrief and open Q&A, where I’ll break down my decisions and answer your questions. Each class is capped at 15 attendees to ensure a focused, immersive experience.

    Class fee is $385, book via the link below:

  • "Every year I anxiously await for Katherine to make her NYC trip! We do family portraits with her each summer and I treasure them all so much! Katherine has a great vision and her photos are true works of art. I can literally feel the emotion through the photos."

    Kirti Sohal

  • "I recently took Katherine Schultz’s newborn photography class and it was truly incredible. The experience was not only inspiring and motivating, but also packed with practical, in-depth knowledge that I was able to take away and immediately apply."

    Lauren Cherson

  • "Katherine was a joy to work with from the day we made an inquiry, all the way through our wedding and photo gallery delivery. We are in love with our photos and so blown away by her talent. She was such a calming presence on our wedding day and our photoshoot in Central Park after our ceremony was one of our favorite parts of the day. We would recommend her to anyone in search of wedding photography."
