    Buffalo Wedding Photography | Alex & Josh | The Twentieth Century Club

    November 13, 2018

    One month ago today, we celebrated Alex & Josh inside one of Buffalo’s most gorgeous venues, The Twentieth Century Club! A&J had a sweet and simple ceremony upstairs, full of laughter and happy tears, followed by a wild party in the historic ballroom. This building has endless nooks for portraits, and we could have shot there…

    November 8, 2018

    Sarah & Dale wanted to capture of fall’s beauty, AND this magical time in their lives, right before their little lady arrives! I love maternity sessions, as it’s so important to document the last few moments when it’s just the two of you ❤ Cheers to S&D, and this exciting journey they’re about to embark on;…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Emily & Eli | Springville, NY

    November 6, 2018

    When I first met Emily & Eli over Skype, they told me a bit of their love story, and their plans for a simple and joy-filled wedding at a family friend’s farmhouse, and I knew I really, really HAD to be their wedding photographer! Their day was everything they dreamt it would be, and…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Jami & Matt | Elmwood Village, Theater District

    November 1, 2018

    Meet Jami & Matt (AND their sweet pups, Leo & Jax!) As big Buffalovers, we wanted to fill to their e-session with classic city spots. We started in their Elmwood Village neighborhood, and took a walk to their regular date night spot, The Place. Afterwards, we headed downtown to visit some of their favorite…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Heather & Roger | Medina, NY

    October 30, 2018

    Set in the backyard of their home, with red roses galore and complete with a horse-drawn carriage, Heather & Roger’s wedding was something out of a fairytale! They had a lovely ceremony behind their barn, and danced the night away under the stars. It looked like it might storm at any moment, but instead…

☀️ JUNE ☀️

Hi, hi! Join me as I commit to a full month of : 
✨ Keeping a camera on me (no client work allowed for this!)
✨ Developing a joyful workflow of reviewing images
✨ Posting that day’s favs, every night, without overthinking the ideal timing/aesthetic of the grid/feeling forced into trends/remembering holidays/the caption/getting overwhelmed & moving on 🤣

This is a practice I haven’t done in years & it’s time 😘 Tag along?

Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrima
Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage? 🌿 It’s one of my favorite annual events 🤩 Naturalists, hikers, herbalists, birders & all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts gather at the park for a whole weekend’s worth of unique programming! 

Typically, I plot out adventurous activities, but this year I opted for a more restorative schedule ✌️ I spent my Saturday doing fireside yoga, forest-bathing with a group of lovely ladies, learning about homeopathy, relaxing with some watercolors, enjoying a mushroom hike & trying basic orienteering! 🥾🌲 

There are dozens upon dozens of other activities to choose from at this family-friendly & affordable event. Will I see you there next year?!

Fellow Creatives : How do you stay inspired? 🤔 

I have daily practices in place, but I think quarterly art-filled-mini-roadtrips are the real secret 🤩🤩🤩 My 36 hour whirlwind May getaway to PGH did the trick! 😍 After time at some of my favorite galleries, real good eats, a candlelit art-making session, a night of jazz poetry & lots of long, aimless walks with my camera, I have so many soon-to-be projects swirling around 🎉

Year Ten of this city for me & still haven’t seen it all; anything I should add to my list for next time?!
