  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Alicia & Scott | City Hall, Niagara Square, Canalside

    October 1, 2015

    Alicia, Scott & I met right as the sun was dropping down for a beautiful engagement session around City Hall & Canalside, two iconic Buffalo backdrops! I loved wandering the city with them, and hanging together as we shot. It’s nice to spend time with my wedding couples before their big day! Check out…

  • 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.…

☀️ 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?!
