Traveling Teen/Senior Portraits at the Brooklyn Bridge - DUMBO

Jaxon and his family were visiting NYC from Oklahoma to celebrate his 18th birthday/high school graduation, and wanted to have his senior photos taken while they were on this special trip. We selected Brooklyn Bridge Park as the backdrop for our 1 hour session, and it was uncharacteristically empty on this overcast Wednesday morning, which made it super easy to get lots of shots in the best spots without having to manage around the usual crowd!

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