    Buffalo Wedding Photography | Michael & Vicky | Buffalo History Museum, Japanese Gardens, Silos, Erie Basin Marina, Bacchus

    November 12, 2017

    I was so excited when Vicky & Michael told me about their plans for a small, simple Thursday wedding. They opted to focus on their closest family and friends, and exchange a bridal party for more time together during an extended photo session! Vicky got ready at Salon Elizabeth, where she was totally pampered with…

    Meet another one of my gorgeous 2018 couples, Jessica & Mike! We met at Tifft Nature Preserve early one morning. I was telling them how gorgeous the light would be at that time of day, and how lovely the leaves looked that week, and of course the *minute* we all arrived, it started to…

  • Winter Mini-Session Special | Portraits for Puerto Rico

    November 1, 2017

    SHARE THE LOVE  Puerto Rico is a place that will forever be near and dear to my heart. From my first visit in 2007, to my most recent earlier this year, and many more in-between, I’ve fallen hard for this island. The land, the history, the food, the culture, and mostly, the people. It…

☀️ 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?!
