I’ve recently added Utica College as a client – and I’m happy to share that my first collaboration with the school was to capture an important moment in its history, the installation of Laura Casemento as the first woman to be named president in the school’s 70 year history.

My team and I traveled to Utica for a few days this summer to create a series of portraits of Laura that range from her official presidential portrait to moments that capture her embracing the academic and athletic spirit of the school. Being that students had yet to arrive for the start of the year, we basically had the run of the campus and access to pretty much anywhere we wanted to shoot.
