16th Birthday Photoshoot - Teen Travel Portraits on the Brooklyn Bridge

On a special family/girls trip for her 16th birthday to NYC from Texas, this lovely young lady’s mom arranged for her to have a celebratory Instagram-style photoshoot on the Brooklyn Bridge. This session was a rewarding challenge, as she had a special needs condition that required thoughtful attention and a bit of delicacy. She did such an amazing job considering the hot weather and the crowds! The photos came out wonderfully, and her mother was so pleased at how the shoot was handled.

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 both Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom and Nikkor 50mm f1.8 prime lenses, all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
