    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 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…

06.30 | Last day of June, soaking in country air at my favorite place 😍 

It’s wonderful to reflect on how this practice brought me back to the basics… I haven’t created non-client/non-iPhone photos in so long. It was a joy to slow down + *play* with color, composition + creating, without an end goal in mind.

As a true portrait photographer, it was a challenge at first to find inspiration in non-human subjects - YOUR energy is such a big part of my work! This practice has retrained my brain + I find myself pausing to enjoy little vignettes wherever I go now 🤩 

It’s a gift to see the world so beautifully + perhaps, you’ll try this too? ♥️
