New York City Senior Portrait Photographer

Exclusive Manhattan Senior Portraits Crafted with Style and Intention

Senior year is fleeting, but the images you capture can last a lifetime. In the heart of Manhattan, Charles and Jennifer Maring create senior portraits that are sophisticated, fashion-forward, and unmistakably personal. Every session is an opportunity to capture who your senior is right now in a way that is confident, stylish, and full of potential.

At Maring Visuals, we are not a senior portrait factory. We take on a limited number of senior sessions each year, primarily by referral, allowing us to craft an elevated experience that is fully tailored to each individual.

A Boutique Manhattan Experience

Our approach is personal, intentional, and expressive. Charles and Jennifer guide seniors naturally, helping them feel confident while still looking like themselves. Every session is designed to produce images that are both timeless and fashion-forward, blending modern style with enduring elegance.

Because we photograph only a select number of seniors annually, every portrait session receives the care, attention, and creative energy it deserves. Families choose Maring Visuals because they want more than a photograph. Rather, they want an experience, an investment in memories, and images that will be treasured for decades.

Charles and Jennifer Maring have photographed countless seniors across Manhattan, capturing fashion-forward portraits in Central Park, rooftops, and galleries. Many families who start with a senior session trust us for other milestones, from NYC wedding photography to family portraits in Manhattan, creating a consistent and elevated photography experience.

Capturing Manhattan in Style

Knowing a city intimately changes how you photograph it. Manhattan’s streets, buildings, and landmarks become an extension of your senior’s story when approached with creativity, vision, and experience. Some of our favorite locations include:

The High Line and Green Spaces
Nature-filled walks above the city provide soft light, movement, and modern urban contrast for portraiture along with iconic city views.

West Chelsea Galleries
Sleek, artistic interiors allow for elevated, fashion-forward portraits surrounded by contemporary creativity.

Rooftops and Iconic Views
From Top of the Rock to select private terraces, Manhattan rooftops add drama, perspective, and an editorial edge to your images.

Graffitied Walls and Urban Texture
Bold, expressive backdrops throughout the city give portraits energy, vibrancy, and attitude.

Luxury Hotel Lobbies
Grand architecture, elegant interiors, and polished spaces create images that are refined, sophisticated, and iconic.

Central Park Charm
Historic bridges, tree-lined paths, and seasonal color provide timeless, cinematic portraits for a classic New York City senior session.

Wherever we shoot, our goal is the same: create imagery that is unmistakably yours, rooted in personality, confidence, and Manhattan’s dynamic character.

Fashion-Forward and Timeless

We specialize in portraits that balance editorial style with timeless elegance. Seniors look confident, natural, and polished without ever feeling staged or overly produced. Wardrobe, locations, and light are curated to ensure each session is striking, cohesive, and modern crafting portraits worthy of framing, publishing, or displaying for years to come.

Photographed by Charles & Jennifer Maring

Your senior session is photographed personally by Charles and Jennifer Maring, internationally award-winning photographers who know Manhattan like the back of their hand. With decades of experience capturing individuals, families, and high-profile clients, they bring a refined, creative eye to every session.

You will be guided gently, photographed thoughtfully, and left with images that combine personality, artistry, and style.

When to Book Your NYC Senior Portrait Session

Because we accept only a limited number of sessions each year and serve many families by referral, scheduling early is essential. Most families book in the spring or summer before senior year or early in the fall to secure the best locations and light.

The Beginning of a Lasting Family Relationship

For many of our families, a senior portrait session is only the beginning of a long relationship with Maring Visuals. Parents who first come to us to photograph their son or daughter in Manhattan often return for family portraits in the years that follow, and later invite us back to document weddings with the same trust and continuity of style. Being chosen as a family’s New York City wedding photographer is an honor that frequently grows from this first experience together. If you are considering senior portraits and value artistry, discretion, and a boutique approach, we would love to start that relationship with you.
