Caroline Sinno Photography

Caroline is the real deal! I hired her for an higher education public relations event this past December and I would not hesitate to recommend or hire her again in the future. She was incredibly professional and kind and the shots arrived the next day. Really good mix of images and all were super crisp and well framed. She’s great — hire her!

Caroline was absolutely wonderful in capturing the surprise and joy of my engagement! She planned secretly with my fiancé for weeks before we arrived in NYC and helped him set up the surprise of a lifetime. She was so warm and friendly in addition to the beautiful memories that she captured for us. I highly recommend her to anyone in NYC area!

Caroline was a pleasure to work with. She helped me plan out my proposal to my girlfriend in Tribeca/​Soho. She gave us gorgeous pictures and quickly gave us the link to create pictures for our family. I would highly recommend Caroline for any special occasion in New York City.

Caroline was absolutely wonderful to work with – she is extremely professional, prompt, and responsive. In addition, she has a great eye for light and photo locations. My husband and I hired Caroline for a portrait session around the Upper West Side and Central Park, and we were thrilled with the way the pictures turned out. Her creative approach and expert photography skills made us feel extremely comfortable – we will cherish her beautiful photos for many years to come! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a photographer to capture stunning images!

I was looking for a photographer to shoot some head shots for my LinkedIn profile. I am an amateur photographer myself and my standards are very high. I needed my head shots to be perfect to reflect my profession in the tech industry.
I found Caroline’s contact on Unilocal.I checked her online portfolio and voilà — the sample head shots are exactly what I am looking for. They are pictures of young, dynamic, confident and professional individuals. Moreover her studio is in the financial district which is a familiar neighborhood for me. So I contacted her and arranged for the shoot in a week.
During the shoot, Caroline was superb the whole time (2 hours). She really get to know you and your personality to make you at ease. During the entire shoot she is very professional and suggested many poses and outfits. We did some outdoors and then indoors at her studio, and everything is nicely done.
I am now using one of her shoots for my LinkedIn profile plus my Twitter account. It’s light years better than my previous profile picture, but still retained the ‘me’ in it. Thanks Caroline!

Caroline is an amazingly skilled photographer and genuine collaborator. We hired her to take both corporate headshots and staged action shots for the relaunch of our company’s website and the final product far surpassed our expectations. Plus, the whole experience was fun! She was professional and careful not to disrupt the flow of our busy office, but also lighthearted and able to capture charismatic moments in a serious workplace. She goes above and beyond for her work, and we look forward to working with her again!

This rave review comes approximately two weeks after Caroline shot our surprise proposal & engagement, followed by a surprise engagement party. Needless to say, the logistics around both surprise events were no small feat, and Caroline was one hundred percent the right individual for the challenge.
Prior to the big day, Caroline very quickly impressed me with her professionalism, prompt responses to my many questions, and genuine enthusiasm for the complex engagement scheme I was attempting to pull off. I also greatly appreciated her willingness – I quote directly from CS herself – to «work with [her] clients to reach a mutually agreeable price,» which we were able to do instantaneously and with ease over a brief phone call… on a Sunday, might I add, because Caroline was kind enough to work around my demanding work schedule and chat over the weekend.
My now fiancé followed scavenger hunt-​style clues to Washington Square Park, where I was waiting with the ring. Caroline captured her reaction and the emotion of the moment with breathtaking precision and polish — all while fighting off the bystanders of NYC. She must have been a point guard in a previous life with those moves!
The photos from the shoot that followed the proposal leave us speechless, and have brought tears to the eyes to many who have viewed them. Our guests at the engagement party had nothing but fantastic things to say about Caroline. Her patience, creativity, ability to quickly adapt to changing light, and eye for favorable angles and backdrops yields an incomparable finished product that we will cherish for years to come.
Ultimately, Caroline went above and beyond in countless ways. She explored the park around the time that shoot would occur to pre-​plan. She visited the engagement party venue beforehand to understand the space and light. We met an hour earlier than we originally agreed, and she stayed entirely too late because our timeframe ran behind. I would pay her double what she originally quoted, if only she would let me!
In short: If your wedding, engagement, event, headshot, maternity, [insert ANY event here] photographer is not Caroline Sinno, you are simply missing out on a wonderful experience and truly impeccable photos.
Until next time, CS — you’re not rid of us just yet!
With love and gratitude,
Lauren and Corinne

I worked in marketing, branding and pr so we constantly require photography services for events or professional headshots for clients.
Caroline Sinno is simply THE BEST!
Let me explain that the way that I define a good photographer is someone who understands their craft very well (technically speaking), who has a unique and very creative eye, who understands how to adapt to last-​minute changes when shooting, and who is very professional (even with the most difficult clients). Furthermore, a good photographer is someone who knows how to make the person in front of the camera almost forget that there IS a camera on them — to relax and be natural and (gasp) enjoy the experience of being photographed.
Having said that, Caroline (in all aspects) is truly exceptional. We once booked her for a client who was very camera shy (actually, it was for a group shot for managers of an organization). They came in unsure, nervous, ambivalent. Not only were they immediately put at ease, they had fun during the shoot and it SHOWED in the photos. Caroline was able to take my suggestions, add to them and bring them into fruition in such a way that she surpassed my initial vision for the shoot. The clients were EXTREMELY happy and shocked that they all looked so good!
I should also add that i think a good photographer (and business person in general) is someone who will go the extra mile willingly to deliver the goods. For this same client, Caroline worked morning, noon and night to rush us proofs (despite being slightly sick). Not only did she never complain, she was happy to do it and offered to do more if necessary (who does that these days?!!). She genuinely cared about the client being happy (trust me when I say, they were!).
Like I said, she is simply the best. Very happy we’ve had the opportunity to work together and I look forward to working with her as long as she continues to work the camera!

Caroline Sinno’s work, professionalism, and attitude are a rare trifecta. My wife and I are thrilled to share our experience. I did a lengthy search for NYC photographers for a professional maternity shoot as my wife neared the end of her pregnancy. Caroline immediately shined through all findings. After I contacted Caroline, she quickly arranged an initial meeting to discuss our shoot. She took the experience further by corresponding with us before our picture day to collaborate and consult on ideas. Her energy, creative approach, and immediate attention to the details of our shoot were impressive. It was clear that she was the right photographer, and I also arranged for future newborn pictures as well.
Scheduling with her was easy– she was very accommodating to our needs and wants. The experience of taking photos with Caroline was delightful! She brought us to Manhattan locations we never would have picked if left to choose on our own (HUGE positive). It was clear that in our initial conversation she picked up on things about us as a couple and our photo interests. The final product was beyond our expectations. I’ve seen many great professional pictures from family and friends, but nothing on Caroline’s level. We feel very lucky to have found her. Caroline will be the only one creating images that document our important events from now on. Both the Maternity and Newborn shoots were fun, professional, and with results our family has commented, «should be in a magazine!» and «we want to visit from Michigan to have her take our photos.»
Clearly we are big fans. Not just from one experience, but two. Happy to share a very well-​deserved, glowing recommendation!

I have worked with Caroline on 3 separate occasions — one for a friend’s photo shoot, and twice for photography sessions for my company. Not only was I impressed with her combination of professionalism and warm personality, but her attention to detail and making sure she got all the right pictures made such a difference when it came time to review the photos!
She truly has an eye for photography and it is evidenced in her great work product. She was also very accommodating to my schedule and that of my associates, which is a huge plus.
What really makes her stand apart is not only her time during the shoot, but the tremendous amount of time she spends making the pictures look great in the editing process. She makes sure they look amazing when it’s time for you to get them! Never over-​edited or fake, just making them really beautiful (ie deleting a twig on the ground, editing a piece of hair that covered part of a face, etc).
Was a pleasure to work with her all around and will do it again in the future!

We were in the market for a wedding photographer and my fiancé, now husband, knew of Caroline through a friend. We were both dead set of not having a wedding album full of «posed» pictures – line up the family and get them to say «cheese» when scripted. We checked out her website and were impressed with her still life photos, whether they were of empty children’s swings moving softly through the wind or hundreds of locks fastened to cables and fences symbolizing locks of love. In our gut, we thought Caroline would be able to achieve what we wanted – photos of people caught off guard having fun.
The pictures are fabulous – Caroline and her assistant Malachi, captured exactly what we wanted. Our photos have blown away our friends and family. Our mother’s carry the albums we made for them everywhere they go to show friends and family, believe it or not.
If you are looking for standard «mug shot» wedding photos, go to any photographer. If you want photos that are unique, beautiful and bring tears to your eyes, definitely give Caroline a call. You will not be disappointed. Your friends will be jealous as they gaze through your pictures versus theirs… because they are going to see right away how lame their posed shots are compared to your artistically created compilation.

My wife and I booked Caroline to shoot our 3-​month old infants (not an easy task). We were delighted with the photographic results which captured both boys in a soft light and caught their individual expressions; already manifest.
From a professional perspective, we had a rational conversation to book an appointment, Caroline traveled to us and kept the appointment as scheduled. She took her time photographing the boys with no rush or hassle.
From a personal point of view, Caroline is a delightful person and having her in your home is like having a new dear friend arrive. She is bright, communicative and creative.
From a practical point of view, we both feel like we received a great value for our money. The entire experience was very professional, very pleasant and (dare I say it) quite fun.
We would recommend Caroline Sinno Photography without reservation.
Enjoy your photos!

I first came across Caroline in the ad business over 8 years ago, and she has always had this amazing combination of creativeness and ease of working with clients. She has since done some awesome landscape and photo retouching work for me, and the results were AMAZING. She «sees» it and «gets» it. She will tell you what works, and make your finished product POP! Oh — and she’s good with kids and dogs too.

Caroline photographed our family — an expectant mother, dedicated father and spunky three year-​old girl. She met us at our home to take some shots as well as a nearby park. Caroline’s soft and gentle approach made the photo shoot such a fun experience. She was extremely professional and patient throughout the entire hour and half photo shoot.
Her keen eye and ability to think on her feet to quickly come up with the best location based on the lighting was critical in making the pictures come out so beautiful. The end product is beautiful — her editing style keeps the shots so clean, crisp and genuine looking.
We have already received an endless number of compliments on the incredible quality and are so happy to have had the chance to work with this artistic genius. We already plan to use Caroline again for our next child too — I highly recommend her for any photo shoot!

I have never done a professional shoot before and understandably was a little nervous. Caroline’s radiant personality and gentle approach immediately put me at ease. Caroline has suggested that we do a shoot in central park. There are so many beautiful areas and Caroline definitely took advantage of them. I had an absolutely wonderful time shooting and couldn’t wait to see the end result. Caroline was so professional and timely with giving me regular updates on how far along she was with editing the pictures. The results were awesome. I couldn’t believe how fun, and natural the pictures turned out to be. She played with light and color so nicely which gave the pictures a unique look. I couldn’t recommend Caroline highly enough for any photo-​shoot.

Caroline did my professional headshots. She was great, spent plenty of time finding the right textures and backgrounds. We walked to various areas around the city and snapped different pics of me that were remarkably different, though all were shot within a couple of hours. I received a great group of photos that span from conservative to casual — all professionally touched the way you’d expect from a top rated photographer. I recommend Caroline to anyone who is looking for portraits and professional photographs.

I recently worked with Caroline on putting together my wedding album. And thank god I did. My wife and I were so dissapointed with how our pictures turned out (Caroline was NOT the photographer), that we basically never bothered to follow up and go through the process of having our album created.
Fast forward 4 years. Wedding Group One, our actual photographers are long since out of business. I decide I’m going to surprise my wife by pulling together the album. I reached out to Caroline not knowing where to start. I explained to her the situation and how dissapointed we were with the images and the lack of artistic touch up. Caroline immediately responded and expressed how confident she was that we could turn lemons into lemonade here. I answered a few more questions and then we agreed to meet so I could give her the CD’s I had with the raw images (which by the way she made very easy by coming to my office). Within a matter of days, I received an email from Caroline letting me know that she had reviewed all 1,100 images, a task that in itself had seemed insurmountable to me! Based on her review of the images, she was able to put forward a comprehensive recommendation that detailed next steps, an estimated timeline for completing the work and some pricing options. It was a very transparent process. One of the things I liked most about working with Caroline was how consultative she was. She was forward leaning with regards to recommendations but never tried to «sell» me on anything. As someone who knows next to nothing about photography and pulling together a wedding album, this approach was very much appreciated.
By the time all was said and done, Caroline had managed to touch up close to 200 images and create an album we’re now proud of. She solicited my feedback throughout and would not rest until she knew I was 100% satisfied. Caroline was patient and never made me feel like I was being difficult or picky even though at times I probably was.
Ultimately, I felt the entire time like this was «our» album, and that the end product and resulting smile on my wife’s face when she saw it was just as important to Caroline as it was to me.
Thank you Caroline!

Caroline worked for my nonprofit organization, Reach the World, to be the professional photographer for our annual benefit. This event hosts approximately 150 guests in a classy NYC location for an evening of socializing, speeches, auctions and programming. The job requires attention to detail, collaboration between the photographer and staff as to which photos to shoot and when; sensitivity to people who may not necessarily want to be photographed; and manipulation of difficult lighting situations, etc.
Caroline was incredibly professional and capable during the three-​hour evening. She navigated the social and professional demands of the event perfectly. Somehow, despite seriously bad lighting in the space itself, she managed to produce perfect, clear photos that captured all of the most important moments in a journalistic manner.
I would highly recommend Caroline!

Caroline was hired to photograph a corporate roundtable event hosted in my office. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was dedicated to getting the job done and the result was excellent. We received our final photographs quickly and successfully. I absolutely recommend her.
