  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Kaitlin & Jesse | Larkin District, Tifft Nature Preserve

    October 27, 2015

    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…

    Buffalo Wedding Photography | Caitlin & Bryan | Hotel Lafayette, Greenhouse Room, City Hall, Niagara Square, Forest Lawn

    October 13, 2015

    Caitlin & Bryan had a wedding like none other. They told me right away that they wanted their day to be different & I, of course, loved hearing this! One of the first big differences was that they skipped a traditional bridal party, and instead brought 22 members of their families along for the trolley ride. There…

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 4 : My freshman photo class, just because I was so very 2003 & it cracks me up. That hair!🤪]
