  • 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…

    It’s been a gorgeous fall thus far, and I am so glad my clients want to make the most out of it! I spent the bulk of a week playing in Chestnut Ridge for several different sessions and am happy to share another one from that time. Meet the ever-adorable Kaitlin & Nick 🙂…

    Remember this sweet pair from their wedding day? Well I loved getting to see them again & celebrate another big life event : Baby G! We spent the afternoon wandering Chestnut Ridge for their maternity session, and the leaves set the perfect scene. It was a gorgeous day, and I loved getting to see…

    Even though it was dark and rainy, we had the most lovely time with Erika & Chris on their wedding day! We met them at the new Marriot downtown for prep, before heading over to one of Buffalo’s most stunning cathedrals for their ceremony. St Louis RC Church was warm and inviting, and a perfect setting for…

    November 2, 2015

    One month ago today, I celebrated Suzanne & Allen’s wedding day with them <3 You’ll notice this wedding was unlike most of what we do; there was no getting-ready, no first look, no bridal party. It was small, simple, and oh-so-sweet. Because we had a shorter time together than usual, we planned our hours carefully to maximize their wedding…

☀️ 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?!
