A Sunny Family Session on Roosevelt Island: Celebrating an 8th Birthday


There’s something magical about a summer day in NYC, especially when it's spent celebrating a special milestone. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful family session on Roosevelt Island. This session was particularly special as it centered around an 8-year-old girl celebrating her birthday with portraits, surrounded by her loving family.


The vibrant colors of the family's outfits—orange and yellow—perfectly matched the sunny, joyful atmosphere of the day. The birthday girl looked radiant and full of energy, her personality shining through in every photo. Her toddler brother added an extra layer of cuteness and spontaneity, making the session even more delightful.


Roosevelt Island provided a stunning backdrop with its scenic views and lush greenery. We took advantage of the beautiful light and picturesque locations to create a series of portraits that truly reflect the love and happiness of this family.


From candid moments of the siblings playing together to heartwarming shots of the entire family, this session was a wonderful celebration of love and life. It was a joy to capture the special bond between the birthday girl and her parents, and the pure, innocent joy of childhood.


If you’re looking to capture your own family’s special moments in a beautiful NYC location, I’d love to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
