  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Lauren & Shalana | Marcy Casino, Rose Garden, Delaware Park

    September 29, 2015

    Meet Lauren & Shalana! One month ago today, we celebrated with them as they said “I Do” in front of their loved ones at the Marcy Casino Rose Garden. It was a BLAST! As soon as I met L&S, I knew their wedding would be unique. They had such a cool vision for their…

  • Buffalo Family Photography | Emma Turns One | Japanese Gardens & Buffalo History Museum

    September 28, 2015

    I loved my time with this little family. We met on a cloudy afternoon to create portraits at the History Museum to commemorate little Emma turning one. She was full of energy and enjoyed showing off her crazy walking skills. Translation : It was pretty much an hour of chasing her around the park 🙂 And…

  • Buffalo Family Photography | The Hanrettys | Delaware Park, Rose Garden

    September 25, 2015

    I had such a lovely time hanging with one of my favorite little families earlier this month 🙂 Ever since Liz & Ryan’s engagement session almost six years ago, I’ve been lucky enough to be invited back into their lives to capture family moments as they grow. Here they are with their beautiful babes and…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Claire & Steven | The Mansion on Delaware Avenue, Theater District, Delaware Park

    September 22, 2015

    We had a perfect Saturday with Claire & Steve at their wedding at The Mansion on Delaware Avenue one month ago today. They had a sweet, simple day, including beautiful details (let’s talk about those shoes!), a low-key bridal party with one member each, and a lovely first look, which we planned right on the steps of the Mansion.…

  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Jennifer & Gabriel | Becker Farms Vineyard, Gasport NY

    September 15, 2015

    We had the most beautiful time with Jennifer & Gabe at Becker Farms last month! Jen was stunning in her one-of-a-kind custom-made dress by Made by Anatomy & I couldn’t wait to photograph her wearing it! J&G had a gorgeous ceremony right in the vineyard followed by a wild, wild reception. Even though they had a few *minor* snags…

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!🤪]
