Teen Portraits at the Hotel Indigo, Lower East Side (Manhattan, NYC)

A good deal of my portrait sessions come from people who are visiting NYC from other places, and I just love being able to give people this special experience while they are here, along with beautiful photos that they will value forever. Stephanie’s parents surprised her on the last day of their trip with an expert makeup application and a professional photoshoot. We used their hotel’s picturesque common areas to take these shots for our quick 30 minute session, and had a blast doing it!

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