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…

  • Buffalo Maternity Session | Melissa & Jay | Woodlawn Beach

    July 29, 2015

    On a gorgeous summer evening, Brianna, Charles & I wandered Ohio Street for their e-session! I loved how open they were to location ideas, and didn’t blink an eye when I asked them to sit on a loading dock or dance on the old train tracks. They were so fun to work with, I…

06.30 | Last day of June, soaking in country air at my favorite place 😍 

It’s wonderful to reflect on how this practice brought me back to the basics… I haven’t created non-client/non-iPhone photos in so long. It was a joy to slow down + *play* with color, composition + creating, without an end goal in mind.

As a true portrait photographer, it was a challenge at first to find inspiration in non-human subjects - YOUR energy is such a big part of my work! This practice has retrained my brain + I find myself pausing to enjoy little vignettes wherever I go now 🤩 

It’s a gift to see the world so beautifully + perhaps, you’ll try this too? ♥️
