    September 8, 2016

    I am loving this season’s family sessions! I’ve had the most wonderful time getting to hang with such sweet littles, and patient parents 😉 I like to do sessions a little differently than some expect, and I think it takes a little getting used to since so many people are used to stiff and…

    One of the absolute best parts of my job is getting to see my wedding clients go through the next stages of their lives, and being invited to capture it all! I love love love visiting with past clients and getting to meet and photograph their children, and was so thrilled when Amy called…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Emily & Tim | Babeville, Asbury Hall, St Anthonys, City Hall, History Museum, Mural

    August 16, 2016

    I can’t wait to share Emily & Tim’s day with you! It was full of love, laughter, color, sunshine, beautiful venues, great people… pretty much everything a wedding photographer could ask for! They had a gorgeous ceremony at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church before we headed off for bridal party photos at City…

☀️ 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?!
