Family Portraits (with Focus on Mom!), Gantry Plaza State Park (Long Island City, Queens NYC)

This was such a fun and cute family photoshoot on the waterfront near the big, iconic Pepsi sign in Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City. The client was looking for some special portraits of her mother while she was visiting the USA from out of the country; we were also able to get some cute, grouped family poses, and fun candid snapshots of daughter interacting with her son.

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

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom-built presets.
