Creating film based family imagery for those rooted in New York, whether your days are spent in the city, wandering outdoors, or resting in a quiet home upstate.
Iris and Ford is a film based family photography studio in New York City. The work is shaped by quiet moments, gentle movement, and the rhythms that define childhood. Time slows down inside these sessions. There is room for softness, room for curiosity, room for the way your family truly moves together. Film holds these moments with a tenderness that feels timeless.
We photograph families throughout the city with a calm, editorial approach that invites everyone to settle in. The result is a collection of images that feel warm, poetic, and honest.
A family session is meant to feel grounded and natural. Children lead with curiosity. Parents ease into the moment. We create space for connection without pressure or expectation. The pace is gentle, and the result is a collection of photographs that feel effortless and true.
You choose the environment that feels most like your family.
