Central Park Family Photographer

A Bright October Family Session at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park

Capturing Timeless Family Memories

What makes a family session worthwhile and special is the way it preserves both the big and little moments—the posed group photo, the kids being goofy kids, and the little moments that are unscripted. Often, it’s not the posed “Look here and smile” photos that are the best photos. It’s the weird, awkward micro-moments that make each family unique. My family photos are a window back in time, reminding you of this unique moment in your children’s lives, whether that’s in 1 month from the session or 1 generation later and beyond.

Why Central Park Is Perfect for Family Photography

Central Park offers something for every family session. At Bethesda Fountain, you’ll find a balance of classic NYC landmarks and natural beauty, making it an ideal backdrop for timeless photos. The Model Boat Sailing Pond offer an elegant Upper East Side look with few crowds. Here is what I value and carefully consider when working with clients to find the right spot for their NYC Central Park Family Photo Session.

  • Plenty of Space for the kids to run around and for us to position ourselves without people around us / behind us in our photos.

  • Iconic Views: This is a NYC Family Photo Session. Let’s make that known in your photos, whether it’s subtle or clearly evident.

  • Seasonality: If it’s the fall, let’s show off the foliage. If it’s the Spring let’s find the Cherry Blossoms.

Tim and Amanda's Central Park Family Photo Session

Family photoshoots in New York City are one of my favorite sessions to photograph. My approach to a NYC Family Session is to include candid photos of real moments to help everyone get comfortable in front of the camera, and then offering up some of the classic poses. Throughout the session, I always offer up suggestions and tips; move your hand here, take a step back, tell him/her a funny joke.

What does a professional NYC Family Photographer offer that my iPhone does not?

As a New York City photographer, I’ve worked all over New York, from Long Island’s beaches to upstate NY’s vineyards and lakes, and from the Upper East Side to Prospect Park. I have a ton of fun recommendations for great family photo sessions based upon foliage, cherry blossoms, crowd size, view or no view, lighting, etc.,. However, one of my locations for outdoor photography is Central Park. I’ve worked as a Central Park family photographer in every season and every weather condition imaginable. Each location within the park, each time of the day, time of the week, and time of the year offers its very own unique look and feel.
