On a nice Saturday afternoon in July, I had the opportunity to photograph my good friend Doug and his family while his daughter Natalie and grandson Conner were visiting from Miami. We were both really looking forward to this shoot, but I was particularly was excited, due to the fact that I spent many of my teenage and young adult years here, attending Notre Dame high school and later Utica College and SUNY Institute of Technology. Utica has amazing architecture, delicious food, and importantly, many great historic locations to take photographs. The Utica Train Station is a location that would make any photographer swoon with delight.
