NYC SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER/SAMANTHA’S URBAN SESSION

NYC offers so many fantastic, unique and diverse locations for a NYC Senior Photographer. High school seniors are all different. They all have unique personalities, interests and hobbies. This is why it is great to have a unique and customized senior photo session as opposed to the traditional cap and gown and black cape and rose portraits taken at school. Yes, you do still need to take the cap and gown photo for the yearbook but you can still have your own unique, stylized professional photos to commemorate this special time in your/your child’s life. With a stylized photo shoot, seniors get to experience and feel like they are fashion models while having fun and an experience that they will remember forever. The outcome is gorgeous photos that they and you will have for a lifetime.

There are so many ways that a senior photo session can be stylized in NYC. Seniors can get dressed up in pretty dresses and go to a park such as Central Park for their photos, or, if they are just too “cool” for the park and prefer to be more casual they can opt for a more urban or grungy look. The streets of NYC offer plenty of locations for that in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Some areas even offer both environments just minutes away.

Below are some of my favorite photos from Samantha’s senior session. For her session we went to a few street locations in her neighborhood of Queens that had commercial buildings and graffiti. Since Samantha likes to skateboard, we used her skateboard as a prop for some of her photos. This is another great idea you can incorporate into your custom senior session. If you play a sport, an instrument, dance or sing you can bring a prop from your hobby and incorporate that into some of your photos.

Taylor’s Sweet 16 Long Island Event Photography

Taylor’s Sweet 16 Long Island Event Photography. I recently posted Taylor’s Sweet 16 pre-event glamour photos. Because Taylor’s party start time was when it was already dark, I explained to her family that we would have to meet three hours early on the day of the event in order to get the photos taken in the park that they wanted. After explaining all the benefits of having a pre-event Sweet 16 photo session, Taylor’s Mom agreed. We still planned to take some formal portraits of Taylor and her family on the day of the event. Taylor arrived an hour early with her family and court in order to get these portraits taken in and outside Jericho Terrace. It was a lovely night and Taylor had no problems going outside to get some cool night shots which I absolutely love taking. She absolutely loved taking these night shots. And Jericho Terrace certainly provided a beautiful backdrop for them. Afterwards, we went back inside and we took some photos with her court and her family. A select few of those are listed below. It was then time for the party to start and boy did this family know how to throw a good party. All the kids had a blast and it was super fun capturing this event and being part of Taylor’s memorable day.
