Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC

Pregnant executives who need portraits that work both for a baby announcement and a LinkedIn refresh usually end up booking two photographers, two days, two sets of hair and makeup. Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC builds its whole offer around collapsing that into one polished session, run by a single photographer named Alice across two Manhattan and Brooklyn addresses, with a sideline in Paris. The studio is squarely aimed at women who are professionals, founders, and executives, and the work is sorted into four named experiences rather than a vague menu of "shoots."

Four named portrait experiences

Those four lines are easy to keep straight. Portrait Madame Pro covers executive and personal-branding headshots. Portrait Madame Chic Maternity handles pregnancy portraits. Portrait Madame Chic Legacy is for anniversaries and couples. Portrait Madame Chic and Pup brings the dog or cat into the frame, which sounds like a gimmick until you remember how many people genuinely want their pet in a milestone photo. Every session, regardless of line, comes with professional hair and makeup included, and that single detail tells you who Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC is for: people who do not want to arrive camera-ready on their own. It is also a smart structural choice, because hair and makeup are exactly where amateur portrait setups fall apart, and folding them into the price removes the most common reason a session goes sideways.

Pricing and payment options

The money is stated plainly, which I appreciate in a category where photographers love to bury rates behind a "request a quote" wall. Base packages begin at $850 and give you four final images, chosen from twenty edited favorites, with payment plans on offer for clients who would rather spread the cost. Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC also sells gift cards for the portrait experiences, which fits a maternity or anniversary clientele where someone else is often footing the bill.

Appointment booking process

It works strictly by appointment, so this is not a walk-in headshot mill. That suits the level of styling involved, though it does mean a prospective client should plan ahead. There is also a "Happy or Start Over" satisfaction guarantee advertised, which is a fairly bold promise for portrait work given how much subjective taste sits inside the word "happy." Whether it holds up in practice is the kind of thing only a real session reveals, but stating it publicly at least puts Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC on the hook. A guarantee like that also nudges the studio toward managing expectations early, since starting over is expensive for a business that pays a stylist per booking.

Client ratings across platforms

The ratings are scattered across platforms and mostly favorable, though some counts are low enough to be inconclusive. Birdeye shows a 5-star average across forty reviews, which is the most substantial number here. Facebook lists eighteen reviews with a 100 percent recommend figure. Trustpilot carries a 4-star score from two reviews, so it barely moves the needle either way. Yelp has Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC listed with 111 photos, and the site itself claims a 5-star Google rating. Nothing in that spread raises a flag, and the forty-deep Birdeye count gives the verdict more to stand on than a single platform would.

Contact information and locations

Two phone numbers (a New York line and a French one), an email, and both physical NYC addresses are displayed prominently, with a booking page that handles appointments directly. For an operation working across two continents on an appointment-only basis, that level of transparency is useful in a way it would not be for a walk-in studio, since the entire client relationship starts with a phone call or a form rather than a casual visit.

A few things are worth a clear eye. The dual-continent setup, Paris plus two New York locations under one photographer, raises a practical scheduling question that the listing alone cannot answer: how often Alice is actually shooting in each city. The $850 starting price for four images is firmly in luxury territory, and that is the studio's stated positioning, so anyone treating portraits as a quick commodity is not the target client and should know it going in. These are not knocks so much as boundaries on who this fits.

Set against a high-volume corporate option like a Snappr or a chain headshot service, Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC is playing a different game entirely. Those services win on speed and price and turn a headshot around for a fraction of this rate. What Portrait Madame Studio LLC, NYC sells instead is a styled, hosted experience with hair, makeup, a curated edit, and a guarantee attached, built for someone marking a pregnancy, an anniversary, or a career step they want to look the part for. If that is the brief, the studio answers it more completely than a budget alternative ever could, and the spread of solid outside ratings backs the claim up.
