Classy Portraits is the fine art portrait service owned and operated by Krish Mandal (see Krish's bio ), based out of Forest Hills (Queens). Classy Portraits exists to create beautiful images of people and their lives in intimate settings, reflecting tender moments, while respecting and protecting their privacy at all times. Krish specializes in children's photography and family portraiture sessions.

A session is scheduled by appointment only, and often involves photography on location at your home, an office or public space, or in a public outdoor setting such as a botanical garden, or nature preserve. Classy Portraits prefers to be on location, over the formality of a studio setting.

And that is just the beginning of the difference between Classy Portraits' fine art service, and commercial store studios. Whether you visit a famous-name department store, or go to a glitzy private studio, they can't match the time, warmth, and customer service that we promise you and your family. That's because we don't do it all. We specialize in children and their families — we like to put the children first — and we know that sometimes getting your family together is like "coralling cats." They certainly are lovable, but they're impossible to keep in one place for too long. We'll help you keep them together.

Another difference with us is that we're not a people-mill. Unlike stores, we don't rush one family in the front door, while we quickly escort another out the back. When you choose us to have your baby's or family's portrait done, you're given the kind of care and attention that you deserve as a paying client. We can take anywhere up to an hour-and-half to get the kinds of images you desire, if you have that kind of time to spend with us. If not, that's OK. The point is, we're not in a hurry to make a few bucks, we're in it for artistic merit. That is very important for us as photographers trying to create an image. Your image.

We serve the metropolitan-NY / tri-state area.
