  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Kaitlin & Nick | Chestnut Ridge Park

    November 8, 2015

    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…

    October 28, 2015

    Rachel & Adam’s wedding day was greeted with perfect autumn weather (a gift from above after several weeks of dark, rainy shooting days). The sun was shining and the leaves were just starting to fall, and everything was just dreamy! We kicked off their day with the girls as they were pampered at Fawn & Fox…

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!🤪]
