    October 26, 2018

    We wrapped up our summer wedding season with this sweet pair, and I am thrilled to be sharing highlights with you! Jenna & Nate planned a beautiful day, from start to finish. They were wed at their family church in Tonawanda, and the tears were flowing throughout the entire ceremony. Afterwards, we ventured to…

    October 23, 2018

    One of the best parts of this job is getting to capture someone’s story, as they move through exciting parts of their lives. From e-sessions, to weddings, to maternity photos & family shots, I love getting to see my clients again & again. So, when Jami & Dave (of this gorgeous winter wonderland wedding) emailed…

    Ever since I first met Casey & Maureen well over a year ago, I have been SO excited about shooting their wedding! At their initial consult, they told me they wanted their day to be full of love & dancing & food trucks. They wanted it to be colorful and fun. They wanted to do…

    October 3, 2018

    Meet Rachel & Scott (& let’s not forget Bruce, whose sweet face sort of stole the show 😉 ). For their e-session, they wanted a mix of soft & earthy and bold & urban, while capturing all-things-Buffalo! We started at the Outer Harbor, and ended in the Theater District, with a quick stop in…

Walking through a giant camera obscura, learning about light science, sketching in the old art room, watching an improv show in the same auditorium I sat through dozens of art history lectures in & SO much more…

Headed back to the my alma mater yesterday to explore the Imagine #RIT: Creativity and Innovation Festival with my kiddos & had a blast! 🧡🐅🖤

Their highlights were all of the robotic demos, glass blowing, pre-vet program classroom & video game design areas!

This event happens once a year, at the end of April & should definitely be on your radar for next year. It’s HUGE, completely free & open to the public 🎉 

Come see what life is like at Brick City 😜

2️⃣0️⃣ years ago, almost every day, I would sneak out of the darkroom & over to Java Wally’s on the #RIT campus for a coffee break. I would sit at a little café table & daydream about life after college… 📸 Running my own business, having a beautiful studio & making a living from my photography, & most importantly, sharing all of that with people that I loved.

Today, during the Imagination Festival, I sat at that same little table, in that same café, across from my MOST beloved humans ❤️ We shared hot cocoa & some of those dreams.

Pretty incredible to press pause on a busy life & see just how fast the time has moved; to be placed back in an exact seat where you once absolutely *yearned* for everything you currently have.

Two decades have flashed by (I mean, my babies are now closer to college than I am 😳), but the gratitude of this wild journey has never missed me. As always, thanks to everyone who’s been a part of it 😘 What a ride! Can’t wait to see what the next twenty years bring 🎉🎉🎉

[Slide 1 : Random college prints & a copy of the school art & lit magazine that I was editor-in-chief for - we were so avant-garde that we insisted it be the first unbound issue 🤣😜]

[Slide 2 : The 41st edition, still going strong, picked up today]

[Slide 3 : My two best creations, my lifetime masterpieces!!]

[Slide 4 : My freshman photo class, just because I was so very 2003 & it cracks me up. That hair!🤪]
