NIAGARA FALLS, NY
Our son went to school in Rochester for his undergrad studies, Film and Animation Major. One of my dearest friends from the time I was a birth photographer, lives in Rochester with her family. I hadn’t seen her in years, so when our son was getting ready to graduate, I contacted her to see if she’d be up for the car ride to Niagara Falls. We talked and talked the whole way, and had a most wonderful day!
