New York City: Private Photoshoot in Amazing Times Square

Exploring New York City Through a Lens: Private Photoshoot in Amazing Times Square

Imagine standing in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, flashing billboards, and bustling crowds. For $345, up to four people, you get 45 minutes with a professional photographer to turn fleeting moments into lasting memories. Led by Bee Lively Photography, this experience offers personalized attention and an authentic taste of New York’s vibrant energy.

What we love about this photoshoot is how flexible it is—you can stick to Times Square’s iconic lights or customize your route to include spots like Central Park, DUMBO, or Brooklyn Bridge. Plus, with photos delivered within 72 hours, you won’t have to wait long to relive your trip through stunning images.

A small consideration is that the experience uses one subway fare to reach your chosen location, which adds a tiny extra step and expense. Also, it’s worth noting that the tour isn’t suitable for children under 8 or those over 70, so it’s best suited for families with older kids, couples, or groups of friends eager to have fun and take memorable photos.

This experience is perfect for photo enthusiasts, travelers celebrating special occasions, or anyone who wants a professional keepsake of their NYC adventure. Whether you’re after classic skyline shots, fun candid moments, or a mix, this shoot offers a personalized way to capture the city’s spirit.

A Closer Look: What to Expect on Your Private NYC Photoshoot

Walking into Times Square, you’ll immediately feel the buzz of neon lights, giant screens, and crowds. This iconic location is a natural choice for capturing the essence of New York. Your photographer, whose experience and enthusiasm shine, will guide you to pose, smile, and enjoy the moment—making sure your photos are lively and natural. The shoot lasts just 45 minutes, but during this time, you’ll get a variety of shots—from candid laughs to composed portraits.

If you prefer a different backdrop, the photographer can customize the route based on your preferences. Whether you’re drawn to the green serenity of Central Park or the architectural wonder of DUMBO, the experience can adapt to suit your vision. This flexibility ensures that your photos truly reflect what you love about New York.

The session is designed for small groups—up to four people—making it intimate and personalized. The guide’s local knowledge shines during the shoot, helping you find the best angles and lighting. We loved the way the photographer’s expertise helps relax everyone, turning what might be stiff posed shots into fun, spontaneous images.

After your shoot, your photos will be edited and delivered via email within 72 hours. The images are high-resolution, perfect for sharing online or printing as keepsakes. If you want physical prints, those are available for purchase separately, offering a tangible reminder of your trip.

Transportation and Accessibility

The experience includes a subway fare—$2.90—since the photoshoot is set in Midtown, but you’ll need to use public transportation to reach your location if it’s outside Times Square. The shoot is wheelchair accessible, making it a good option for travelers with mobility needs.

Cost and Value

At $345 for a private session, this experience offers good value considering the number of high-quality photos you receive and the personalized service. For a family or small group, it’s an affordable way to get unique photos without relying on tourist-heavy selfies. Plus, the professional guidance ensures your photos look polished and natural, which can be hard to achieve on your own.

Also, if you’re hoping for a deep dive into NYC’s history or hidden gems, this isn’t the right fit—this is about capturing the city’s most iconic scenes.
