  • 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…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Charlene & Kevin | O’Briens Sleepy Hollow, Salon Elizabeth

    July 20, 2017

    We ended our June weddings with Charlene & Kevin at O’Brien’s Sleepy Hollow, and could not have asked for a more beautiful couple, place, or day to celebrate! Steve and the boys hung at the Outer Harbor for some photos while I started with the ladies at Salon Elizabeth. The salon is gorgeously designed, and…

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!🤪]
