Valentine's Day Mini Shoot: Zhanna and Sebastian (Throgg's Neck, Queens)

This year was the first year I started offering a holiday-themed shoots, and was so excited when people started booking their Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions! Zhanna and her boyfriend had just bought a house together and wanted to hold this special couples shoot in their new place. We shot both indoors, and in the outdoors in the surrounding area. Being February, it was cold and snowy, but it was also sunset, so it made for some really atmospheric shots!

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 using custom-built presets.
