Lui Family Portraits
Priyanca Rao photographed the Lui family, capturing the personalities of their four children while honoring each child’s interests. By creating a fun, relaxed environment, she guided the kids to enjoy the session naturally. The resulting portraits celebrate connection, individuality, and the joyful spirit of family life.
We went to Priyanca’s studio in Westchester. I love the humor and levity she brings to this! It’s really a stylized parody of wealthy family photos that are ubiquitously ridiculous or ridiculously ubiquitous; however, you want to think of it. Thank you to Priyanca for tolerating my (I like to think delightfully odd) sense of humor and approach to life.

Editorial Family Photos
Priyanca Rao photographed the Iqbal family in Central Park, capturing the charm and personality of their child in a relaxed, joyful session. With Mom Aliza’s love of fashion in mind, Priyanca crafted each shot to feel editorial and timeless, ensuring the session would translate beautifully into a fine art family album. The resulting images reflect connection, style, and a sense of story that Aliza and her family will treasure for years to come.
Priyanca did a great job capturing our family portraits in her home studio and central park. She was able to engage and keep my 6 year old excited throughout the session which I was very grateful for. She is also flexible and does her best to accommodate her clients needs and expectations.

Aliya’s family met Priyanca Rao in Central Park for a stunning fall family photography session in New York City. With vibrant autumn colors as the backdrop, each moment captured the warmth, connection, and personality of their family. Because her husband travels frequently, Aliya commissioned a custom photo box of luxury family portraits—a meaningful legacy gift he could treasure while stationed overseas. This session highlights Priyanca Rao’s luxury family photography services in NYC and Westchester, creating timeless, heartfelt images that families can enjoy for years to come.
Priyanca did a wonderful job and put in a lot of extra effort to make my young children who aren’t fond of photo shoots feel relaxed and smile. I would highly recommend her anyone. The printed fine are photos are priceless.

These luxury legacy portraits are designed to be treasured for generations, preserving genuine moments of love, connection, and family history with artistry and intention.
We did a family photoshoot with Priyanca last fall and had an incredible experience. Priyanca was extremely accommodating to our needs being that my father had difficulty moving around easily, and she was extremely patient and creative with the younger kids who were not thrilled about being photographed. We ended up with phenomenal family pictures, and the editing team was so responsive and helpful with small touch ups after we received the first set of pictures. Working with Priyanca was a true pleasure. She captured our family perfectly!

What’s included?
We had a photoshoot with Priyanca for our daughters. From the wardrobe to the background and props, everything was fantastic. Priyanca took her time with our daughter, capturing her in various poses. Our daughters really enjoyed the shoot, and the photos turned out beautifully. I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire process. I highly recommend Priyanca! We turned them into beautiful wall art for our home custom made to match our interiors.
