  • 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…

  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Lauren & Paul | Ellicott Creek Park, North Tonawanda

    October 18, 2016

    Lauren & Paul chose the North Tonawanda Botanical Gardens for their engagement session, and we lucked out with the most gorgeous October evening. I think I squealed about the sunlight about fifteen different times! They brought their pup Beans along and we captured some ‘family’ portraits. The setting was so lovely, and they showed me…

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!🤪]
