We always love working with @dinediaspora and had a great time photographing the @blackwomeninfood media preview at the stunning BSH kitchen showroom.
And now we are counting down to the Black Women in Food Summit in just a few weeks!
Documenting an evening of art and philanthropy at Phillips New York. This private reception, held in collaboration with Saint Fleur, benefited The American Society of Black Neurosurgeons ahead of their New Now auction. It was a privilege to capture the connection and conversation within this community.
the "headshot" vs. the founder portrait.
one is just a picture of a face; the other is the story of a business.
I want to capture the version of you that shows up for your clients every day. the one who built the thing.
you in your actual world: your space. your product. your service. showing "this is what I do."
you’ve got big goals for 2026. your visuals should keep up.
DM me when you’re ready.

A custom portrait studio created to celebrate a milestone birthday.
The theme was African Giant, so we brought in layered textures, bold prints, and natural elements to design an elevated backdrop right in the backyard.
Such a fun way to capture each guest’s presence and personality.

We had the honor of capturing this powerhouse as she launches her very own law firm. She's bold, brilliant, and already blazing trails.
Entrepreneurs, your brand starts with you. Let your portraits speak before you do. Ready to stand out?
We had a time at yesterday’s Gold and Groove at @elmina.dc powered by @dinediaspora . It was a vibe! Picture this: beautiful people, a stunning space, food that hit, drinks that kept flowing, and music that had the whole room moving. A Sunday well spent!

There’s an art to photographing events. Catching the split-second glances, the laughter just before it spills out, the quiet power in the room.
At Studio Ari, we don’t just document your event. We tell its story. Clean. Editorial. Human. Fast.
Whether it's a gala, summit, a product launch, or something more intimate—this is where presence meets polish.
Inquire via link in bio.
You Are the Brand.
Your headshot isn’t just a photo. It’s your handshake before the meeting. Your pitch before you speak. It should reflect your presence, your purpose, your professionalism.
At Studio Ari, we craft portraits that feel elevated and editorial—with clean lighting, natural retouching, thoughtful direction, and a fast turnaround.
We’re now offering monthly portrait sessions—on location or in-studio—for individuals and teams in NYC and DC.
Want in on our next mini session?
Drop “mini sessions” in the comments or DM us to be first on the list. We’ll handle the rest.
