NYC weather in the Spring is … unpredictable.
Joel reached out back in February to schedule a Springtime NYC Family Photo Session in Central Park. His family would be visiting NYC for the very first time and they chose the second week of May. Being from Florida they wanted a warmer weekend for their visit and they hoped to get a glimpse of the cherry blossoms.
This trip was going to be special. It was his daughters’ first big trip out of Florida and the family photo session was his children’s Mother’s Day gift. Now that the girls were older, both Joel and his wife Samantha wanted professional, quality family photos to print and hang around their home. With a busy schedule, a keen focus on good lighting, and an effort to avoid crowds we chose a Sunday morning. Warm it was not (38*F), however everyone powered through it.
On my Central Park family photo sessions I like to select 2 main areas for us to take photographs. My go to location on the East side of Manhattan is the Model Sailing Boat Pond. This part of Central Park is quiet, as most tourists venture to the Bethesda Fountain and the southern part of the park. After the pond, we venture West to several fields where the kids can be kids.
