    Buffalo Wedding Photography | Caprisha & Tommy | Hotel Lafayette, St Anthony’s, Lafayette Square

    March 29, 2016

    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…

    Buffalo Newborn Photography | Baby Maggie

    March 28, 2016

    One of the ultimate perks of this job is getting to meet two people at our initial consult, and watch them as they go through life’s adventures together, from their engagement session, to the wedding day, to the maternity session, to the newborn time, etc. I love getting to see my clients grow their families, and…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Jodi & Chris | Asbury Hall, Silo City, Ellicott Square Building

    February 23, 2016

    We kicked off 2016 with a truly epic wedding, and I am just dying to share! When Jodi & Chris asked me to be their wedding photographer, I was ecstatic. Jodi owns Anchored by Design, and is an incredible graphic designer who is amazingly creative and detail-orientated, so I knew her wedding would be nothing short…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Alex & Scott | Ohio Street Bridge, Grain Silos, Times Beach Nature Preserve

    January 18, 2016

    Somewhere between New Year’s and the snow blasts we’ve been getting, Alex, Scott, Bonsai & I met for their engagement session! It was a beautiful sunny and warm (enough) January afternoon 🙂 We started at the Ohio Street bridge and silo area before heading over to Times Nature Preserve for a gorgeous mix of Buffalo backdrops.…

☀️ 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?!
