30th Birthday Party at The Standard, High Line (Meatpacking District, Manhattan)

The lovely Daleana celebrated her 30th birthday in the stylish Meatpacking District hotel The Standard (on the High Line) with close friends and family. Before most of the guests arrived, we captured a short photo session with her boyfriend and best friend (who was the one who booked me!) with balloons, champagne, and cake :) Even though our shoot was only 30 minutes long, we still got lots of fun images!

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750 using a 24-85mm zoom lens, all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
