Emma was celebrating her 18th birthday and her senior year of high school with 2 of her friends while they were visiting NYC from New Jersey. Our session took place in the picturesque outdoor waterfront areas between Wagner Park and Brookfield place on a cold, winter day just after a big snow. We focused mainly on the birthday girl, but also took lots of fun shots of her having fun with her squad.

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.
