Arielle Joffe Photography, Dobbs Ferry NY

If you’re looking for a family photographer, do yourself a favor and book Arielle. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a joy to be around. Arielle had my children laughing and eagerly wanting to join in to take pictures, no easy feat with a 4 and 2 year old during a newborn shoot. She made us all feel comfortable from the get-go and our pictures turned out even better than I could have hoped for. These precious moments in time now captured beautifully for us to enjoy forever. Thank you, Arielle!

Arielle is a thoughtful and super capable photographer, who captures the spirit of the person/event easily and with a great energy! Highly recommend!

Arielle was such a joy to work with for our family portrait session. Not only did she wrangle my two young, energetic boys with her charm (a feat in itself!) but she managed to capture their joyful expressions in so many different photos, we were hard pressed to choose favorites. The goal had been simply to document this time in our family’s lives but we even got a holiday card out of it! Highly highly recommend!

This was our third year having Arielle take our family photos. She does an exceptional job and is great with the kids. We have three little ones and she makes it fun and easy!

We are so thankful that we found Arielle! She has given us one of the greatest gifts we could ask for- amazing photos of our son growing up! Arielle is friendly, kind and professional. She has already established a great rapport with out 20 month old, which in turn has captured many photos with his personality shining through! He was born at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, and Arielle has been respectful and thoughtful to ensure a safe environment for each of our sessions. Time flies every time we see her, and we are always overwhelmed with the number of beautiful photos she sends us within just a few short weeks of our session! With the arrival of our daughter coming this winter, we can't wait to have Arielle photograph our growing family! You absolutely will not be disappointed!

We've had two wonderful sessions with Arielle. She's so sweet with the kids and just so good at everything she does. The photos were absolutely gorgeous. She's so amazing at getting the candid shots and her lifestyle photos are incredible. We had her come do a photoshoot of our family making dumplings and it is my favorite photoshoot ever. It was just so different and fun and she really captured our family dynamic in her pictures.highly highly recommended!

I love Arielle and her work! She's so easy to work with and has an amazing eye. I've loved every shoot I have had with her. Highly recommend!

Arielle is amazing in every way. She captures the perfect pictures they basically can tell a story. She has done many of our events as well as family sessions and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with her. She is able to get my children focused when it’s one of those crazy times and they love her too. She has basically become part of our family. She truly is an amazing photographer and person.

Arielle was fantastic to work with! We're in love with our maternity and newborn photos. They're truly better than I could have imagined. She created a warm environment and expertly guided us through both sessions. We recommend her 100%, and we look forward to asking her to capture more moments for our family in the years to come.

I was a little unsure about having family photos done, especially with our 1.5 year old. Arielle’s warmth and professionalism immediately put everyone at ease. She was amazing with the kids and managed to elicit smiles from a grouchy toddler. She took COVID restrictions very seriously and made us feel safe throughout our session.
I knew we had made the right choice when we left our shoot; however nothing prepared me for how incredible our photos would turn out. Arielle has an amazing eye for light, color, and composition. She captured so many small, special moments with our family that I will be forever grateful to her. I simply can’t stop looking at these photos! If you’ve been hesitant to get a family photo shoot done, I can’t recommend Arielle enough. Call her!

I’ve had headshots taken before (about a year ago), and while I loved the photos, the photographer missed the mark in regards to the vibe I was looking for, and that prior experience pales in comparison to working with Arielle.

Arielle is an extraordinarily talented photographer. It’s remarkable to look at the photos, and truly see myself as I see me. She has a gift of capturing exactly what you’re looking for, and snapping the perfect moment in time.

Arielle is warm, kind, funny and professional. I felt so completely comfortable and at ease in her presence; never once did I feel awkward or shy, which is common for me.

Kudos to you, A! Your expertise, warm and friendly demeanor, and all around jovial tone created a safe and enjoyable space. A huge thank you for capturing me, perfectly.

Working with Arielle for our family photo session was amazing! She is so great with kids and made the experience so much fun. Her photos are wonderful. This was our first time getting professional family photos done and I cannot wait to do it again next year!

Our family photo shoot was a little chaotic with our 2 little girls and a husband who was not super into getting his picture taken. Arielle was able capture the most beautiful shots both candid and posed and got EVERYONE to cooperate. She made it look so easy! We had an awesome experience and look forward to booking with her for our holiday cards.

Arielle did an amazing job with our newborn. She has a comfortable, natural style when offering direction and was super flexible to work around baby's needs! We got our photos back quickly, without any loss of quality. We look forward to working with her again!

Arielle is AMAZING! We were nervous to try a newborn shoot in the hospital ("Fresh 48") because we weren't sure how we'd feel with a visitor so soon after our son was born, but she put us completely at ease, blending into the background and capturing such special and intimate moments of our new family of four. We loved her work so much we had her back to our apartment a few weeks later. Arielle is a true professional: she shows up on time, ready to work, with great ideas about where and what to shoot, but she's also very flexible and quickly adapted to the atmosphere in our home (namely: our toddler insisting on wearing a Spider-Man costume and our dog going nuts). She is funny, kind, and charming, and instantly made all four of us (plus the dog!) feel comfortable while she took photos. The results were gorgeous, un-staged, authentic photos of my family that I'll treasure forever. We will definitely have her back soon!

Arielle did a great job capturing pix of my kids- pix I know they would never produce for me. She was excellent with my 4 year old daughter who was hot and sweaty.and usually doesn't stop moving. Arielle kept it going- and was great keeping the kids interested and posing- all the while snapping away. The spot she picked was beautiful. Her direction was very laid back, and she went with the flow of the kids wandering around the park. She also was great on sharing the pix very quickly. Total Pro. Thanks Ari:)

Arielle is really easy to work with and has an easy time getting the best out of my stubborn kid. I will definitely use her in the future
