  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Rachel & Adam | Avanti Mansion

    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…

    I loved getting to explore Buffalo with Kaitlin & Jesse for their fall e-session! We wandered all over Larkin District, Tifft Nature Preserve and a few other hidden spots, as we chased the sunset. Of course, their furry baby Brody had to make an appearance, and he almost stole the show haha. I am…

☀️ 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?!
