About Paulsen Photography

    

Ray has been capturing memories through the art of photography for almost 30 years. From a successful Portrait and Wedding Photography Studio in New York City, Ray relocated to the Capital Region of New York State in 1989. His photography style boasts a unique mix of traditional and classic   portraiture combined with a photojournalistic flair.

Ray is one of approximately 50 Certified Professional Photographers in New York State. He is also a member of the Professional Photographers of America, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, Professional Photographers' Society of New York and the Capital Champlain Professional Photographers. His photographs have received numerous State and local awards and he has been published   in statewide and regional magazines. Ray has received numerous New York State Courts of Honor for his competition prints.

Chris brings special qualities to the team by capturing the memories of moments which will never be repeated, in a most unobtrusive way. Her ability to pleasantly interact with family members and brides and grooms, and then capture the fun and emotion sets her apart from the ordinary photographer.  

Prior to co-owning and operating a studio, Chris served for more than ten years as the Executive Director of the Professional Photographers' Society of New York State (PPSNYS). Most recently she was presented with the National Award, which is the highest award given by the PPSNYS.  Chris was selected by her peers to receive the award for outstanding service to PPSNYS and the profession of photography.

Together, Ray and Chris pride themselves on the personal attention that they provide to their clients.
