    This wedding…. I’m not even sure where to begin! We had the most wonderful time celebrating Katie & Pete, one month ago today, and can barely even type here because we’re just SO excited to share these images!! Everything, all of it, from start to finish, was full of such sweet, emotional, loud, crazy,…

  • Buffalo Maternity Session | Melissa & Jay | Woodlawn Beach

    August 4, 2015

    I loved my time with Melissa, Jay & soon-to-be Baby Gwen for their maternity session! We met at Woodlawn beach just before sunset; the wind was wild and the light was perfect. Melissa is due soon, and it was Jay’s 30th birthday, so there was much to celebrate! I love picturing them showing these romantic…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Brianna & Charles | Ohio Street & Silos

    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…

  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Jessica & Jean | Downtown & Gallagher Pier

    July 27, 2015

    I loved my time with Jessica & Jean during their e-session! We started the session with a full hour of hair & makeup for Jessica by my favorite stylist in Buffalo, Elizabeth Dugan. It was Jean’s birthday, and he brought ME a cupcake 😉 J&J were so open to ideas and locations, and trusted me fully as we wandered the city,…

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 😜 #imaginerit #rochesterinstituteoftechnology #rochester #rochesterny

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!🤪]
