ZOOT SHOOT: THE HEARTFELT CHOICE FOR LONG ISLAND FAMILY PHOTOSHOOTS
I adore photography. For me, it transcends mere images — it’s about seizing emotions, moments, and memories. That’s why I created Zoot Shoot and dedicated my life to this art, working hard to ensure every family leaves with more than just photos. After one of my sessions, they leave with stories etched in time.
Still wondering why Zoot Shoot stands out in Long Island? Here’s a glimpse.
30+ Years of Dedication and Expertise
Zoot Shoot’s legacy spans over 33 years in the Long Island community photographing families. With a strong commitment to genuine care and skill, I’ve earned an impressive 4.9/5 star rating on Google. I work closely with clients to capture the soul of every moment, from a toddler’s innocent laughter to the wisdom in a grandparent’s eyes.
Deep Insight into Family Dynamics
Families are my passion. Over the years, I’ve learned to deeply understand and celebrate the unique bonds each family shares. With this insight, I highlight genuine warmth, candid laughter, and the intimate ties that make every family special.
Captivating Locations Across Long Island
This enchanting island is my canvas, and I’ve discovered every hidden gem and cherished landmark. From the historic charm of Montauk Point State Park to the lively hues of Waterdrinker Family Farm, I ensure that each family I photograph shines brilliantly against the most captivating backdrops Long Island has to offer.
- Montauk Point State Park: This place is special in my heart. With its historic lighthouse and breathtaking ocean views, it offers a dramatic setting that encapsulates the true essence of Long Island.
- Robert Moses State Park: I’ve lost count of the number of beautiful moments I’ve captured against its pristine, five-mile stretch of beaches. If you’re yearning for a natural, serene setting for your family photos, this is the spot.
- Planting Fields Arboretum: Nestled in Oyster Bay, the lush gardens and expansive green lawns here provide a tranquil, verdant ambiance. It’s a haven for those who want their family portraits set in nature’s embrace.
- The Vanderbilt Museum: I recommend the Vanderbilt Museum’s grand grounds and historic landmarks as an ideal backdrop for families wanting a touch of sophistication and elegance in their photos.
- Blydenburgh Park Historic District: This place is a treasure, with its historic buildings offering a unique backdrop unlike any other. The blend of the mill complex and Blydenburgh Farmhouse adds layers of depth and story to each photo. The charm is timeless, perfect for adding a narrative element to your family’s photographic journey.
My intimate familiarity with these iconic locations ensures that your family gets the most out of every snapshot, giving you a truly memorable Long Island family photography experience.
