  • Buffalo Family Photographer | Gavin, Melissa, Matt & Cooper | Japanese Gardens at The Buffalo History Museum

    November 19, 2015

    So excited to share shots with one of my favorite little families 🙂 Four years ago almost to the day, Melissa, Matt & I stood in the same spot as we captured their engagement session. Now, here we are all are again celebrating the first birthday of their little man, Gavin! I just love…

  • 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…

☀️ 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?!
