    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…

    October 9, 2015

    I hopped across the city with Carly & Dave for their e-session, chasing the sunlight as it moved. We started at the Richardson Complex for a quick series before heading over the Cobblestone District, with a very short stop at the Ohio Street bridge before ending with a gorgeous sunset over Lake Erie at…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photographer | Sarah & Ryan | Knox Farms, East Aurora

    October 7, 2015

    Sarah & Ryan recently moved to East Aurora from NYC (talk about a BIG change!) and wanted to show off their quaint new town in their engagement session 🙂 So we chose to spend our time wandering Knox Farms with their precious pup, Lady. The sunshine was perfect & this session was a dream!…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Jessica & Jean | Downtown, Shea’s, Samuel’s Grand Manor

    October 6, 2015

    You might remember Jessica & Jean from their gorgeous summer e-session earlier this year! As I was editing those photos, I knew their wedding would be epic. They are the sweetest pair, and there was no shortage of adorable moments on their big day. They each got ready at the Embassy Suites, and we…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Donnie & Kristen | Hotel Lafayette, Christ the King Chapel, Allentown, City Hall

    October 5, 2015

    Kristen has been a bridesmaid in a few of our favorite City Lights’ weddings, and so when I received her email asking to book, I was thrilled! I knew she & Donnie would have a unique and wildly fun day, and I was so excited to be a part of it. They each got…

☀️ 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?!
