    Buffalo Winter Engagement Session | Krista & Justin | Remedy House, Delaware Park

    January 12, 2018

    Right after New Years, I kicked off my 2018 shooting schedule with Justin & Krista! We met at Remedy House, the newest addition to the Five Points neighborhood on the West Side. This amazing little coffee shop is such a dream, and was the perfect spot to warm up before we headed out into…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Tanya & Wally | Hotel @ The Lafayette & Dnipro Center

    December 20, 2017

    We ended our 2017 wedding season in the most magical way! We had a double-header weekend with two incredible couples, and two truly unique weddings. We loved that Tanya & Wally’s wedding highlighted aspects of their blended Ukrainian, Polish, and Hawaiian heritages. Their day was also made extra special thanks to the presence of…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Ashley & Joseph | The Foundry Suites, Albright Knox, Hotel Henry

    December 17, 2017

    Last month, we celebrated with this gorgeous pair! We had the most wonderful day with Ashley & Joe, in spite of the below-freezing temps! Don’t let the autumnal sunlight in their photos fool you; it was absolutely bitter outside. But, they were total troopers, and kept each other smiling throughout their day. For their…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Brian & Derrick | The Mansion on Delaware Avenue, Delaware Park, Albright Knox

    December 10, 2017

    Brian & Derrick are two of the kindest folks I’ve had the pleasure of documenting, and I am absolutely thrilled to be sending their beautiful images out into the world right now. They are such genuine sweethearts, who are deeply in love, and downright giddy for each other. Could a wedding photographer ask for…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Anna & Jimmy | Hotel @ The Lafayette, Our Lady of Sacred Heart, Greenhouse Room, Ellicott Square Building

    December 4, 2017

    We ended our October weddings with Anna & Jimmy! They were such a joy to work with from the start, and I knew their wedding day would be one to remember. I started with prep at Hotel @ The Lafayette, while Steve started with the boys. We kept hoping the rain would hold off,…

☀️ 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?!
