    Buffalo Engagement Session | Keely & Josh | Knox Farms

    September 28, 2017

    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. I loved getting to meet their pup Abel (that tongue though!) As we strolled around the property, I was gushing about the…

    September 19, 2017

    Kathryn & Otello… Where do I even begin!? These two just radiate such a FUN, lovable energy. From the moment that I walked into the girls’ adorable Airbnb Allentown cottage & saw them relaxing in hammocks, with mimosas in hand, I knew it was going to be a beautiful day. I loved all of…

    September 18, 2017

    Every wedding season, this jobs gets better & better. I keep meeting new clients who just feel like *my people*! We click right away during our consultation, and when they leave, I think to myself “Ohhh PLEASE book me!!” There’s always a literal happy dance when I get the “We’d love for you to…

  • Buffalo Family Photography | Darren, Landon & Lauren

    September 14, 2017

    I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this sweet little crew a few times now, and have loved seeing them grow (you can view their last session here.) I couldn’t wait to meet their newest little lady, Lauren, and see her with her big bros. Like pretty much every family session ever, the kids were…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Alexa & Chris | Avanti Mansion

    September 13, 2017

    Purple gowns, crystal crowns, tear-filled vows, wild dancing, s’mores bars, and the coolest cakes we’ve ever seen… These are just a FEW of the fabulous things we were invited to capture during Chris & Alexa’s day! And a beautiful day it was! The weather called for rain, but we were gifted with sunny skies…

☀️ 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?!
