A Beautiful Mother-Daughter Session in DUMBO: Capturing Timeless Moments with NYC Family Photographer Paula Ortiz


One of the things I love most about photographing families is the ability to capture the unique bond that exists between them. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful mother-daughter duo for a photo session in DUMBO, one of Brooklyn’s most picturesque spots. With iconic backdrops like the Manhattan skyline and Jane’s Carousel, this session was a perfect blend of urban beauty and heartfelt connection.


We began the session by Jane’s Carousel, with the soft light of the day highlighting the warmth and joy between mom and daughter. The classic carousel provided a whimsical backdrop, adding a touch of playfulness to the shoot. Seeing the little girl’s eyes light up with excitement while she played around the carousel made for some truly magical moments.


Next, we moved to a spot overlooking the skyline. The towering buildings of Manhattan provided a stunning contrast to the natural affection between mother and daughter. These candid shots against the iconic NYC backdrop created a mix of timeless city charm and intimate family moments that I always aim to capture.


Our final stop was a peaceful park bench surrounded by vibrant flowers. Here, the love and tenderness between mom and daughter really shone through as they shared quiet moments together. The flowers added a soft, colorful element to the portraits, giving the images a serene, almost dreamlike quality.


This session was all about the little moments—the laughter, the shared glances, and the unspoken bond between mother and daughter. It was such an honor to photograph their relationship and create lasting memories for them.
