The Mandal Family – Family Session in Thornden Park

Syracuse, New York

I met up with Shristy and her family a few weeks ago for their family session in Thornden Park. Even though the roses had past their peak, I had a blast exploring the park with them!

One of my favorite places to photograph in Thornden Park is the waterfall garden up the stairs from the rose garden. This spot is often less crowded, provides more room for kids to run, and is equally as beautiful! Shristy’s son, Ayaan, had a blast running up to his parents and giving hugs – and it gave us the best smiles for photos!!

One of the reasons that Shristy and her husband, Amrendra, wanted to have family photos taken was to celebrate their soon-to-be little girl! Shristy explained that she wasn’t able to get maternity photos when she was pregnant with Ayaan because he came early. I was so glad to take some maternity photos for them this time around!

Here are my favorite moments from this family session in Thornden Park!
