  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Katie & Dan | Buffalo History Museum & Japanese Gardens

    November 18, 2015

    I had such a wonderful time photographing Katie, Dan & all of their pups for their engagement session! We started at their home, and shot this cute little group on their front porch (it doesn’t get much more personalized than that 😉 ) I loved that they wanted to include their home & their…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Kimberly & Anu | Hindu Cultural Center

    November 11, 2015

    I was so excited with Kimberly & Anu asked me to be their wedding photographer; and doubly-excited when they asked if I would also photograph their Hindu ceremony a few days before their wedding. I’ve never shot a ceremony like this before, and I loved getting to witness everything about it! As a visual…

    Buffalo Family Photography | Scott, Lindsay & Conan | Botanical Gardens & Forest Lawn

    November 11, 2015

    Ready for some serious cuteness? Check out Conan & his crew! Conan is just 3 days older than my guy, and his mama & I connected when the boys were newborns. It’s been so cool to get to see them both grow into little, vibrant people 🙂 I was thrilled when they asked me…

  • Buffalo Newborn Photography | Mike, Megan & Monroe | Botanical Gardens

    November 10, 2015

    Meet little Miss. Monroe! She’s brand new & already stealing hearts 🙂 I loved getting to meet her, and her mama & papa for their family newborn session. It was a chilly day, so we met at the Botanical Gardens and hung inside the greenhouses for their session, with just a few outside in the…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Kathleen & Mitch | Chestnut Ridge Park

    November 10, 2015

    Check out my time with Kathleen & Mitch at Chestnut Ridge! We had so much exploring the park, which was downright magical with fall colors. They even brought their pup for a few (furry friends always welcome on our shoots, by the way!) I loved their outfit choices & posing; they rocked it. Enjoy…

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!🤪]
