Relaxed and Timeless Photography for Real New York Families.
Hi, I’m Paula Brearley, a New York family photographer with over 19 years of experience capturing real families across NYC. I specialize in relaxed, natural family photography that highlights the beauty of everyday moments—messy hair, imperfect outfits, and all the love in between. My approach is warm, documentary-style, and rooted in authenticity, creating timeless portraits that feel true to you.
Testimonials
Eunji K.
“Paula is an amazing photographer! I had her for my daughter’s newborn session and I can only say good things about her!!! I’ve always admired Paula’s work and wanted to have her for my family photoshoot. She was so prompt with the communication. Now the most important part is the product of the photoshoot. Our family was so happy to receive photos from her. She really captured that delicate moment and emotions. I still travel back to that time whenever I look at the photos.”
