Portrait Sessions Can Be Just Because | Cooperstown, NY

There doesn’t have to be a reason. We can schedule a portrait session just because.

Or maybe it’s for a birthday, or a pivotal time in your life or career. Or perhaps a big change is coming your way. For me, it was a looming surgery. I wanted portraits taken, with family and by myself, before what might be a life-shifting event.

We have smartphones and accessories with amazing capabilities. So sometimes it seems documenting these moments on your own is just easier.

But there is something about being in front of the camera that brings a vulnerability and offers time for some soul searching. And, when we pick your favorite Spotify playlist, we can have a little dance party and have some fun.

Booking a solo portrait session can be for a reason, but it can also be just for fun, and just for you.

Nicole and I had some fun at the new Oaks Creek Farm and Market near Cooperstown, New York. It is a family-owned and operated farm that provides a variety of produce, but they also generously allowed us to frolic among the sunflowers. Nicole was a natural in front of the camera, and I loved our time together.
