FAQ
How can I tell if we are a good match?
My ideal collaborations are with families who value authenticity. Families who prioritize being fully present and are enthusiastic about having their session documented as it naturally unfolds. When I arrive at your session, I do so without preconceived notions, dedicating most of my time to capturing the genuine moments of connection between you and your loved ones. My utmost desire for every family is that they grant themselves the freedom to wholeheartedly embrace the day, free from concerns or lofty expectations. It's this mindset that I aim to encapsulate, as I believe these are the moments that will endure eternally.
Why do we need to speak over the phone?
Selecting a photographer to capture the most cherished individuals in your life, your children and family, is a significant decision. It's important to me that we have an opportunity to connect. I look forward to meeting you, and I believe it's equally important for us to get to know each other.

You will be provided with an online gallery containing high-resolution JPG images that have been meticulously edited for a creative touch. Additionally, you will have printing rights, allowing you the freedom to produce your own prints. It's important to note that while you have printing rights, Paula Ortiz Photography retains the copyright ownership.

Where are you based and do you travel?
While I am based in New York City, I have a passion for traveling to capture special moments. Whether you're planning a session or an event, regardless of the distance from my home base, I'm eager to connect and make it happen.
When should I Book?
My schedule often fills up well in advance, but if you're in need of a photographer, please don't hesitate to send me an email! I typically recommend scheduling at least two weeks in advance as a minimum, although there's still a possibility I may be able to accommodate last-minute requests.
Do you edit the images?
Every photo undergoes a creative editing process before being delivered to ensure a visually pleasing and captivating final result.
Do you use Photoshop?
As a mindful artist, I am dedicated to presenting authentic images of real individuals and avoid excessive retouching that reinforces unrealistic beauty ideals.
