Teen/Senior/Graduation Portraits in Central Park, Times Square, and Upper East Side

Fun-loving Reagan and her mom were visiting NYC from North Carolina to celebrate her 18th birthday/high school graduation, and wanted to capture this special time in her life with an extensive photoshoot. Our 3 hour session included locations such as Times Square, Central Park, and the Upper East Side that encompassed several outfit changes and tons of different gorgeous backdrops; from serious to silly, we had so much fun exploring the areas and getting to know each other. She received about 300 final images as part of her package, so it was extremely difficult choosing so few favorites for this post!

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 variety of lenses, all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
