  • 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…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Lauren & Paul | The Red House, Cassadaga

    August 17, 2017

    When I first met Lauren & Paul, I was so excited to hear about their wedding day plans (and their venue choice!) I have been dying to get back to The Red House in Cassadaga ever since I first shot there a few years ago. It’s such a dreamy property for a wedding, with a…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Laura & Sam | Buffalo Launch Club, Grand Island

    August 15, 2017

    Gold sparkling shoes, a t-rex cake, woodland creatures, and oh so much more. Laura & Sam’s wedding was full of whimsy and FUN, and we loved being there to capture it all. The girls started with prep at Salon Elizabeth, while the boys hung at The Shores. This bridal party was a blast; the boys rocked their…

  • Buffalo Family Portraits | Conta Family | Gallagher Pier, Outer Harbor

    August 12, 2017

    I met this sweet family at the beach one night for some fun portraits. They wanted to surprise their mom for her birthday, and gifted her a photo shoot of all her children and grandchildren. How cute is that?! We did some bigger group shots, and then some mini-sessions for each family within, and…

  • Buffalo Maternity Portraits | Alyssa & AJ | Unity Island & Richardson Complex

    July 31, 2017

    The best of my job is getting to document your big moments & celebrations. It’s even better when I get to see my client’s journeys, from the start. I was lucky enough to photograph AJ & Alyssa’s engagement session and beautiful wedding day, and now, their maternity session as they anxiously await the arrival…

☀️ 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?!
