    Buffalo Family Photography | Three Generations of The Reuther Family | Delaware Park

    May 30, 2018

    Many times a year, we receive requests for multi-family portraits. Some clients are looking for more traditional, perfectly-posed, matching-outfit style family shots, and some (our favorite kind ?) are seeking FUN, playful photos with everyone they love. These shoots are very special to me, as I so enjoy getting to see huge families, spending…

    Personal Photography | Wanderlust : Bucket List Adventures in Costa Rica

    May 7, 2018

    I made a lofty goal last year!! I was ready to *finally* develop a workflow to edit, share, and backup my personal photographs in a more efficient manner, similar to how I process client work. Often, I shoot like crazy and then just let the files pile up (please tell me I’m not the…

06.30 | Last day of June, soaking in country air at my favorite place 😍 

It’s wonderful to reflect on how this practice brought me back to the basics… I haven’t created non-client/non-iPhone photos in so long. It was a joy to slow down + *play* with color, composition + creating, without an end goal in mind.

As a true portrait photographer, it was a challenge at first to find inspiration in non-human subjects - YOUR energy is such a big part of my work! This practice has retrained my brain + I find myself pausing to enjoy little vignettes wherever I go now 🤩 

It’s a gift to see the world so beautifully + perhaps, you’ll try this too? ♥️
