About Classic Kids
We aren't just another photography company.

We're a special little family, born more than twenty-five years ago from the vision of a new mom in pursuit of her own happiness and passion. Julie Floyd, then a successful tax attorney, dreamt of a job where she could play with children and practice her art all while capturing treasured moments in people's lives. So she followed her dreams and never looked back.

One of the best things about Classic Kids is that every person on our team has this inherent happiness and passion.

Many a late night latte has been shared discussing the perfect peek a boo (you must hit that first syllable hard!) and debating the subtleties of the monkey antics most likely to elicit belly laughs.

Nafisa (or Fifi or Fee) is a lifestyle and portrait photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. She spent her childhood years growing up in Singapore, before moving to the southern Oregon coast with her family, and is now delighted to call New York home for the past 10 years. She started her photography business after her mother got very sick. As her mother neared the end of her life, she realized her family did not have many childhood photos of her mother and siblings.
