Through my eyes: Photo-shoot at DUMBO park

As many of you know, I have decided to take my love for photography to the next level and expand my portfolio with portraits of all kinds. From family, to maternity, newborn and engagements. My heart is extremely grateful for all those who have supported me and encouraged me over the past few months. Thank you for pushing me in the right direction. With that said, I had a photo-shoot on Sunday at the DUMBO park. Beautiful park and a great place to take pictures. Definitely adding this location to my bag of tricks :).

Well, when I got there I checked out the area and found an awesome graffiti wall that I will def use in the future (thanks for the tip -u know who you are ;).

I took some practice shots on the hubby (my in-house modelo) and can't wait to try it out on a few others. Steven tried so hard to make me happy by being in the fotos, even though I know he secretly wished he could be behind the camera. How could I resist taking pictures of such a beautiful man, inside and out?

Soon enough, the Mr and Mrs came with their adorable little 3 year old and it was an hour of fun with the camera. A very active little boy that does not like taking pictures, but we were able to get a few shots in. Marjorie and Roman are the sweetest couple and were very patient models. They were gracious enough in allowing me to take pictures of them. Thanks guys!!

We walked around and found a few places to take photos. The best part was being able to have the view of the bridge, city, and water as a natural background. Who needs a studio in the summer when you have a view like this!

However, we did have a sandal that went for a little swim and did not want to be rescued. But Marjorie was bold enough to roll up her skirt and snatch it back. Marjorie was grossed out by the water, and who wouldn't be in New York City. You just never know what you might find. But she was a brave soul and stuck it out, but not without a good laugh. Marjorie is a trooper and has a wonderful spirit to make anything fun! A moment to capture :)

Here are just a few pictures that we took and survived the editing process.

Thank you guys for being such amazing models and next time I will bring a little something extra to bribe Amaelian :).

There is something about this picture that I absolutely love. I can't put my finger on it. I was trying to take a picture of Marjorie but saw Amaelian playing in the background and knew I had to take this picture. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I love it.

Vintage colored prints are probably my favorite! The color, the bridge in the background, and grassy feet all make this shot a cute one. Not to mention that 3ft cutie!
