Cool Family Pictures: Best Photo Op Spots to Capture a NYC Childhood
Submitted by Sarah Sloboda on
New York City is an amazingly photogenic backdrop—no wonder you can scarcely turn a corner in this town without running into a movie shoot. As a film school grad myself, I'm continually inspired by the city's versatility. From scenic parks to urban texture to character-filled cafés and storefronts, NYC is a fantastic photo studio, perfect for showcasing your family.
When crafting an authentic family portrait, I try to pick places where the family members spend time in their day-to-day lives, such as their home, a nearby restaurant or playground, or a special place where kids can be themselves. That said, there are also lovely locations that I frequently suggest where I can get creative shots that tell a unique story about my subjects. Each spot has its own unique benefits, and I've highlighted six of them here, and used my photographs to illustrate how lovely they are.
