Proof-of-mom made easy with these North Fork photographers

Mom: the human responsible for 99% of your family’s photos capturing everything from the momentous to the mundane. From tiny hineys in the bathtub to teenage birthday wishes, it’s mainly mom who documents it all, and typically without a trace of their own presence in those everlasting snapshots. 

We’d argue that it’s just as important for mom to step out from behind the camera and get in the photo as it is to take the photo. You know where we’re going with this… family photo shoots! Lucky for us, the North Fork is dotted with talented photographers offering family sessions. From perfectly posed to naturally nuanced, here are 10 North Fork photographers to capture your family’s presence.
