Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ is one of my favorite spots to hang out with my family. We usually go there on the weekends and I am always thinking why I have not done a dog photo shoot in this location yet? It is so close to home, it has a perfect view of New York City skyline, plus it has some other cool spots around the area; like the inactive train station and  tracks, and the 911 Memorial. I thought all these cool elements would help me to create some interesting looking dog photos, and I guess I was right!! Take a look…

I asked my handsome friend and past client Bully, a mix breed dog, to pose as model so we could test this new location for pet photography sessions. Bully was such a good model! Look at him, looking like Mr. Charmin 🙂

If you have been to Liberty Park in Jersey City, NJ you probably have seen the beautiful and thoughtful 911 Memorial. The image below was taken inside the Memorial. There are always so many people there, and it is very hard to get a clean shot without other people in the background. However, I just love how the sun reflects on the walls of the Memorial spreading some beautiful light around my model Bully.

Even though you see some snow on the ground it was a very sunny 60 degrees. Yes, heat wave in the middle of the Winter season! I love days like that!!!! Actually, in my perfect little world, Winter should be eliminated completely. I know some of you may like the cold weather, but not me. I am Brazilian and I enjoy the heat!  Anyway, let’s go back to what matters.. the location.  I love this part of the old train station, and I really wished it would be open for the public. There are major possibilities inside for some awesome photographic work!

Okay, I am so excited to announce Liberty State Park in Jersey City as one of the new pet photography location spots for Alessandra Sawick Photography’s clients. I believe that the best times to photograph there are either in the early morning or at sunset. The reasons are two: Better lighting (of course!) and there are less people visiting there at these times.

I am looking forward to schedule a pet photography session for your four-legged child at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. Please email me reserve your spot at info@alessandrasawick.com We will have so much fun!!!

Thanks for reading it and until next time,

All you need is Love, and a Dog!
