An Upstate NY Family Farmhouse Holiday Session | The Armstrong Family | Granville NY

This is a story about how I fell in love with a cow.

When Morgan reached out to schedule her family holiday session, I was SO excited to visit their home and capture them while they were all together over Thanksgiving. And I’m a cat person, but when she asked if they could include their sweet cow named Thyme, I had to resist speeding over that instant to meet her.

The Armstrong family welcomed me into their home with a warmth I’ve only experienced with my own family. They offered me warm drinks (and a beer), and I almost took them up on it. I could have sat and visited with them all day; they were so authentically kind.

When Morgan walked up with Thyme on a leash, I practically swooned. YOU GUYS. THIS COW is now my one true love. (Sorry to my kids and husband.)

We took photos around their farm in a few different locations, and Thyme followed us the entire session. She was truly the star of the show: our cattle centerfold.

I am so thankful to have met the Armstrong family and get to know them this year. They are such a lovely family with incredibly warm hearts. And dare I say our session was… wait for it… deeply moooooo-ving.

Come on, I had to.
