    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!

  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Amanda & Matt | Canalside, Harbor Center

    December 28, 2015

    I got to spend a afternoon exploring Canalside with Amanda & Matt for their engagement session! It was a little dark, windy & cold, but they didn’t mind! They were up for anything & were so fun to work with 🙂 I’m really looking forward to the wedding day after spending some time with…

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!🤪]
