    Buffalo Engagement Photography | Rachel & Scott | Outer Harbor & Theater District

    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…

    One month ago today, we celebrated with Monica & Eric! They chose Holiday Valley for their wedding, and we headed to Ellicottville to celebrate with them, and their sweet baby girl! M&E are two of the most laid-back, relaxed, and fun-loving folks we’ve had the pleasure of working with, so we knew their day would be…

    August 14, 2018

    Donuts, champagne, giggles & tickles… Is there any better way to start your day!? I spent a beautiful morning with three generations of this sweet family, playing around Delaware Park. For her birthday, Kathy (aka Nana) requested a photo shoot with her babies and grandbabies, and I loved being the one to capture that…

☀️ 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?!
