    June 21, 2016

    One month ago today, Spring was in full-effect, the blossoms were popping, and we were celebrating with Jill & Dan! I am so excited to share some favorites from our time with them. They chose two of Buffalo’s beautiful city venues, St Anthony of Padua and Statler City, with stops at the Butler Mansion and Niagara Square for…

  • Destination Wedding Photography | Marissa & Erik | Longboat Key Club, Sarasota Florida

    June 14, 2016

    One month ago today, we celebrated with Marissa & Erik down in Longboat Key, Florida! I was so happy when this Buffalo couple asked me to join them down in the sunshine state for their big day, and even happier when one of my fabulous photographer friends, Stephen Gabris of ING Photography, offered to…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Molly & Bill | Downtown Buffalo, City Hall, Outer Harbor

    June 10, 2016

    Meet Molly & Bill & one of my favorite e-sessions ever! They were brave enough to say YES to sunrise portraits and I couldn’t be happier with the results! We meet just after 5AM to catch the sun coming over the city skyline, from a rooftop downtown. It was such a perfect setting for romantic…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Eilish & AJ | Shea’s, Main Street, Theater District

    June 9, 2016

    We had a blast playing at Shea’s and along the Theater District for Eilish & AJ’s engagement session this month! Eilish is in the theater community, so this location was a special spot for their session. We spent time inside the historic theater, and out front with the custom marquee (how cool is that!?) before…

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!🤪]
