The Guevaras were celebrating the christening of their baby daughter at the beautiful St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on the Upper East Side. Before the ceremony began, we shot some family portraits at the nearby Carl Shurz Park. Attended by close friends and family, we captured the ritual itself along with some posed family photos inside of the church afterwards; beautiful memories for sure!

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 D850 using a 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, and all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
