  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Alyssa & AJ | Foundry Suites, Allentown

    June 27, 2016

    One month ago today, we were hanging with these two beautiful people! Alyssa & AJ were such a dream to work with, right from day one. When Gabby from After 5 Events introduced us, we clicked right away & I was thrilled when they booked with City Lights 🙂 I think Gabby & I were just…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Jill & Dan | Statler City, Butler Mansion, City Hall, Niagara Square, St Anthony’s

    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…

☀️ 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?!
