Your Story,
Captured Intentionally.
You deserve to be captured in a light that best fits you.
Hi, I am Maxine
I’m a Haitian-American photographer based in NYC with over 10 years of experience photographing people and the stories they carry. My love for photography comes from a deep appreciation for connection — the quiet moments, the joyful ones, and everything in between that makes each person’s story unique.
I’m drawn to documenting real emotions and genuine interactions, creating images that feel honest, intentional, and true to you. Whether I’m capturing a milestone or an everyday moment, my goal is always the same: to tell your story in a way that feels seen, meaningful, and timeless.
Everyone deserves photos that truly represents their beauty, inside and out.
Why It All Matters.
I believe the most meaningful images are created when people feel comfortable being themselves, without pressure or expectation. Rather than forcing moments, I focus on creating a calm, supportive space where real emotions can naturally unfold.
Photography, to me, is more than just taking a picture — it’s about honoring your story, your energy, and your experience. Every session is approached with intention, empathy, and care, so the images we create feel authentic, timeless, and deeply personal.
FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Absolutely! No place is too far. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, and we’ll always share those details upfront so there are no surprises.
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely! Most cases I am there doing the poses with you. It is an interactive experience simply because posing isn't natural and there isn't a "one-size-fits-all" approach. It's important to learn what works for you, and I am here to guide you through it.
Where are your photoshoots typically done?
I have a photography studio located in Long Island City, Queens NY. It is about a 10 minute train ride away from Manhattan and is my home based. However, depending on what our vision is for the shoot either outdoor or other locations can be selected. It's a collaborative process!
How long does it take to get our photos?
The timeframe to receiving your photographs vary anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks. Typically it will take between 1-3 days for headshots and special moments to 1-3 weeks for engagements and weddings. I like to make sure that your pictures are delivered with care.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! Your online gallery is connected to a store where prints and albums can be purchased for an additional fee. Some packages can be customized to include prints as well.
