  • Lifestyle Branding Photography | Laira+Lou Jewelry | Miami, Florida Wynwood Walls Design District

    October 29, 2016

    Meet my friend and fellow girlboss, Alaire! She’s the creator and owner of Laira+Lou Jewelry (which you need to head over & check out ASAP, because, well, her pieces are insanely awesome). She also has a thriving modeling career, and is an all-around lovely person, with an electric smile. You’ll see what I mean 🙂…

  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Lauren & Tom & Minnie | Delaware Park, Japanese Gardens

    October 25, 2016

    When I first met Lauren during our consult, I couldn’t help but to notice how joyful she was when she spoke about her wedding. She just lit up, telling me about Tom, and their pup Minnie, and the beautiful plans for their day. I loved her happy energy, and was so excited when they chose…

  • Bufalo Wedding Photography | Brianna & Charles | Hotel Lafayette, Holy Angels, Columbus & Lasalle Park

    October 24, 2016

    We had the most lovely day with Brianna & Charles, and I can’t wait to share some favorites! I started inside the Hotel Lafayette for bridal prep, while Colin hung with the boys (and Gino, pretty much the cutest pup ever) at their Elmwood Village home. We headed over to Holy Angels for a…

  • Buffalo Family Portraits | Liz, Ryan, Lucas & Allie | Gallagher Beach

    October 20, 2016

    Very excited to be sharing shots from one of my favorite little families 🙂 I’ve photographed Liz & Ryan’s journey together since their engagement session in 2009, and have had the honor of seeing them again, every year, for new celebrations from their wedding, to maternity photos, to newborn pictures, and the fun family sessions…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Carissa & Ryan | Delaware Park & Albright Knox

    October 20, 2016

    I am so excited to share a gorgeous e-session with Carissa & Ryan! We enjoyed a fall day wandering Delaware Park (and avoiding hoards of crazy runners during a cross-country competition). But you’d never guess that by how peaceful C&R are in these shots; they are naturals! Can’t wait to see what beauty the…

☀️ 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?!
