    Buffalo Wedding Photography | Erica & Jay | Celebrating 5 Years!

    March 17, 2017

    Five years ago today, we celebrated our own wedding! It was one of the most exciting days of our lives, and we’ll treasure our photos forever (thank you Dylan & Robyn!) Jay & I met at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 2009, and it has been a special holiday for us ever since. When Jay proposed, and…

  • Buffalo Beauty & Glamour Portraits | Motherhood Session | Luxe

    March 14, 2017

    Speaking from experience, motherhood is the wildest ride… From pregnancy, to birth, to the newness of having a newborn, to the juggling act of infant life, to navigating the fierce waters of toddlerhood and beyond to the even deeper waters of teenagers, all while trying to celebrate every little perfect and bittersweet milestone along the way. You’ll never…

    Last week was so wonderful. It was full of engagement sessions, and I was lucky enough to spend every single day playing in the snow with some amazing clients! If it was any indication of the year to come, my 2017 season is going to be the best yet 🙂 Below, you can see…

  • Winter Engagement Session | Samantha & Mike | Tempo & Delaware Park

    February 9, 2017

    On a freezing cold and wildy windy day, Samantha, Mike & I met for their e-session! We started Tempo on Delaware, the place they were engaged, and then headed to Delaware Park for some snowy, winter-wonderland shots. They were troopers! Especially Sam in her gorgeous red dress and heels, walking through a mini-blizzard for these shots… A…

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!🤪]
