  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Delaney & Brittany | Larkin District, City Hall, Erie Basin Marina

    October 11, 2017

    September was the month of engagement sessions, and I can’t wait to share them all! It was a truly a magical month of shooting; I was able to spend time with some wonderful 2018 couples, including Delaney & Brittany! They brought their big hunk of a pup, Fredrick, and we explored some of my…

    We ended our Labor Day weekend with Lauren & Tom, and their big, beautiful American wedding! Just wait until you see her shoes. And his socks. And the surprise she had for him at the reception (did someone hear Doug Allen?!) This whole day was full of so many gorgeous moments, and I’d be…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Carissa & Ryan | The Hotel @ The Lafayette

    October 2, 2017

    One month ago today, we celebrated with Carissa & Ryan at the Hotel @ The Lafayette! They were married right inside one of the gorgeous courtyards of the hotel, in front of the sweetest orchid backdrop, and under a dazzling string of lights and a sprinkle of rain. Afterwards, we took a stroll with the bridal party…

    This month is FULL of beautiful e-sessions, and I cannot wait to share them all! I kicked off a great session last week with Keely & Josh, at the forever-gorgeous Knox Farms.

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!🤪]
