Hi, I’m Maya — photographer, artist, and the heart behind 222 Studio.

I created 222 Studio to bring together my lifelong love of cinema, art and portraiture.
Here, you’ll find a soulful, old-school approach to capturing memories — one that feels timeless, meaningful, and a little magical.

With a background in professional photography, film and set design, I’ve spent years crafting visual experiences that are nostalgic, color-rich, and deeply personal.
Now, I’m excited to bring that same spirit to you and your family at my boutique portrait studio in Long Island City, NYC.

What We Offer

At 222 Studio, we specialize in artistic family portraits, maternity sessions, headshots, and creative portraits for artists, dancers, musicians, and dreamers of all kinds.

You can choose from two distinct experiences — or combine them for a fully customized session:

Studio Portraits

Step into a world of handmade backdrops, curated props, and vintage-inspired set design. These sessions are crafted to evoke the warmth and charm of classic portraiture, reimagined through a cinematic lens.

Outdoor Sessions

For those who love natural light and organic moments, we offer sessions at handpicked locations around NYC. Expect a warm, relaxed, and natural aesthetic that highlights your connection to each other and the world around you.

Finishing Touches

All of our sessions include the option for in-house framing and fine art printing, exclusively crafted in partnership with @woodmanframes — a custom frame studio run by my husband. This collaboration ensures your portraits are preserved with artisan-level care and attention to detail.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful
Whether you’re planning a session now or just exploring ideas, we’d love to connect.
