There are so many beautiful rural places to get great family photos in New York, but I think my answer will surprise you. Madison County. More specifically, the backwoods of Oneida. I had a lot of fun photographing the Batey's family portraits at Wolf Creek Acres, set amid rolling green pastures, intoxicating vistas, nestled on the banks of the Cowasselon Creek; and only a bike ride from their home. What a joy it was to get to photograph a family full of energy and a good sense of humor.
