    October 13, 2017

    Let the gorgeous fall e-sessions continue! I’m excited to share my favorites from my time with Taylor & Corey during our shoot at Tifft Nature Preserve and Gallagher Beach.

    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…

    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…

☀️ 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?!
