  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Kathryn & Otello | Delaware Park Rose Garden, City Hall, Karpeles Manuscript Museum

    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…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Samantha & Michael | Hotel Lafayette, Albright Knox

    August 29, 2017

    One month ago, we were busy celebrating with these two! Sam & Mike had the most beautiful day for their wedding. We started with prep at The Hotel @ The Lafayette , where they chose to do a First Touch. They met in the hallway of the hotel, and took a minute to just hold…

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!🤪]
