I feel extremely fortunate to have been documenting this family’s milestones since before this little one arrived! And now, they are running around, crashing through blackberry bushes…

I love meeting families experiencing Cooperstown for the first or second time. I have the opportunity to be a mini tour guide on portrait sessions as we explore some of the beautiful spots downtown together.

I’m loving sessions out in the snow, so I’m so glad this family was willing to brave the outdoors! It helps when we hold the session in the backyard, so everyone can run inside and warm up from time to time! :)

I love how my Central New York families aren’t afraid to brave the cold for a session. As long as it isn’t raining, we are usually good to go.

We met near Cooperstown for this session full of fall vibes. Filled with butterfly chasing and some exploring, my time with this family of five flew by.

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.

In and around Cooperstown, you really have to try to encounter a bad view. Everywhere you turn, we have rolling hills, greenery, trails, beaches, and more. You really can't go wrong with choosing a location in this area for a portrait session. And some of the perks of this job are being introduced to new scenery, and meeting new families.

While Amelia was a little shy at times for her portrait session, there were a few things that brought out her smile: parents Amie and Matt, a favorite stuffed snowman, and some vanilla frosting.

I have to say I love photographing families of this size. I had so much fun watching the kids interact with each other and with their parents during this shoot.

If there was one thing I could guarantee about my upcoming family photography session with Kery, it would be to expect an adventure. We had planned a Sunday afternoon session at several locations on her family's property, and the last message I received from her before we were meant to meet was, "Bring your rainboots. :)"

Cade and his parents joined me on a beautiful fall day at Brookwood Gardens in Cooperstown. We spent some time wandering the paths down toward the lake, with a little game of tag thrown in for good measure -- one of Cade's favorites.

This session took place in two awesome Cooperstown locations. After having to reschedule once due to rain (thank you upstate New York), we met at this stone bridge with perfect weather for a family session commemorating this little on'es recent first birthday.

This morning I had the privilege of hanging out with Mercedes and her awesome family -- in the rain. Mercedes had family members coming into town for a limited amount of time, and 8 a.m. this morning was literally the only time everyone could be together for family photos. We watched the weather forecast all week, and while it waffled a little, the chance of rain never really dipped below 60 percent…

I’ve always found the history of this holiday interesting. A woman named Anna Jarvis worked for almost 10 years to have the holiday nationally recognized. Six years later she had become appalled by how commercialized it had become and had even lobbied to have it removed from the calendar...

Baby Kinsley was a gracious host, greeting me at the front door with one of her blocks and immediately inspecting my equipment. We were able to complete a few looks, and then Kinsley enjoyed a little birthday cupcake. She's as dexterous and curious with her hands as she is with her feet!

I have been photographing Cade and his family since he first joined the world last February. His parents, Kim and Brett, arranged photo sessions for each major milestone – newborn, three-month, six-month, nine-month and, finally, his first birthday!
