    May 30, 2016

    I am thrilled to share the story of our first wedding of the summer season!! We could not have asked for a sweeter couple to celebrate with. Claire & Chris were so laid-back, fun-loving, and just genuinely happy to be there together. We started with a perfect first look, and then wandered the gorgeous property…

    Ready for sweetness overload? Meet Whitney, Sean, Viv & Ceci! I had such a beautiful session with this little crew, and cannot wait to share. We met at Forest Lawn for their family session under the blossoming trees; I started early with the ladies to do a few Mother’s Day portraits, and then Sean joined…

    I loved getting to spend time with this sweet family again for Chris & Jill’s engagement session last week. You might remember Chase from his first birthday session this past fall; he’s grown so much since then already! I always love doing sessions that are a blend of romantic shots and fun family portraits, and this…

    It’s a little quiet around here because of this sweet pea 😉 Meet our newest little lady, Verona Marie! She made her big debut on 03.02.16, and we are thrilled that she is here. It’s been such a joy to slow down & relax with my babies during my maternity leave! Thank you to all…

    As a die-hard Buffaloian, I just adore fearless couples that plan winter weddings, and I think you will too after seeing how much fun Caprisha & Tommy had last month 🙂 They had a sunny, wonderful day for their celebrations, but I’m not sure it would have mattered at all if it was a blizzard instead. These two…

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 4 : My freshman photo class, just because I was so very 2003 & it cracks me up. That hair!🤪]
