ALICE PRENAT
Founder & Portrait PhotographerAlice Prenat is a sought-after portrait photographer in New York City and the founder of Portrait Madame, a luxury portrait studio known for its elegant maternity photography, sophisticated women’s headshots, and timeless couple portraits. Originally from France, Alice brings a distinctly European sensibility to her work—combining refined lighting, editorial aesthetics, and an intuitive ability to guide clients into portraits that feel both natural and elevated. Her warm personality, calming presence, and unmistakable French accent help clients feel immediately at ease, even if they have never felt comfortable in front of a camera before. Many clients arrive at the studio believing they are “not photogenic.” Alice’s approach gently transforms that belief. Through expert direction, thoughtful conversation, and carefully crafted lighting, she creates portraits that reveal a version of clients they may never have seen before—confident, elegant, and deeply authentic. As a New York portrait photographer, Alice specializes in creating meaningful portrait experiences for women and couples. Her work includes luxury maternity photography, anniversary and couple portraits, and modern professional headshots for women and entrepreneurs in NYC. Each session is designed as a guided experience that helps clients relax, feel confident, and connect with the moment being photographed. Clients often say the Portrait Madame experience is about more than photography. The studio environment is intentionally calm and welcoming, creating a safe and grounding space where people can truly be themselves. Many clients leave the studio feeling transformed—not only with beautiful portraits, but with a renewed sense of confidence and self-perception. Alice photographs a limited number of clients each month in order to provide a highly personalized portrait experience. This allows her to give every client the time, attention, and artistic care required to create portraits that feel timeless and meaningful. Portrait Madame serves clients in New York City and internationally who are looking for a maternity photographer in NYC, an anniversary couple photographer, or a portrait studio specializing in elevated women’s headshots and editorial-style portraiture.
