Whimsy in the Woods: A Mother-Daughter Session in Alexander , NY

There’s something so timeless and tender about a mother-daughter session — and this one, tucked away on private family land in Alexander,NY felt like stepping into a storybook.

Set on her parents' cabin property, we wandered through tall trees and sunlit clearings, with deer grazing in the distance and butterflies fluttering around us. The woods gave us the perfect blend of adventure and serenity, creating the dreamiest backdrop for this special session.

One of my favorite parts of the day was the small stream running through the land. We kicked off our shoes, walked barefoot through the water, and even paused to catch frogs — something that brought pure joy and so much laughter. Every moment felt authentic and filled with the kind of magic that only comes from being fully present.

It wasn’t just about photos — it was about memories. The connection between mother and daughter was so genuine, full of love, play, and warmth. Documenting these simple, beautiful interactions in a place that holds so much meaning for their family made this session one I’ll never forget.
