A Family Session at Brookwood Gardens

It is no secret that I love this Cooperstown location — I’ve mentioned it before. But this session took place on the first day of fall, and when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find an array of flowers still in bloom.

It was the perfect place to stroll with this curious and independent 4-year-old, who will become a big sister later this fall. I told her mom I’d follow her around with my camera anytime! She had no problem looking right into the camera and holding my gaze through the lens.

Her parents carry a sense of calm with them, which made for a fun and relaxing session that ended up with some rock skipping down by the water.
