Our story

More than lights and a camera

Blue Sky's Studio was founded in 2002 by photographer Kristin Karkoska. Today our New York sessions are led by partner and photographer Anna Vacca, and our all-women team photographs executives, law firms, financial teams, property managers, and entire companies across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the New York metro area.

Great headshots take more than setting up lights and taking pictures. We partner with in-house marketing, HR, and property teams on brand strategy, take on the logistics of production, and coach every person so they feel at ease. Explore our corporate headshots in NYC, executive portraits, and branding photography.
