  • 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,…

    July 25, 2015

    Almost a month ago today, we celebrated with Alyssa & Jon! It was a dark, cloudy and very wet day, but that didn’t stop any of the fun 🙂 We started with getting ready photos, and a gorgeous first look outside Alyssa’s parent’s home. These two were up for anything, so we hiked back…

  • Buffalo Engagement Session | Jill & Dan | Hotel Lafayette and Butler Mansion

    July 20, 2015

    Meet the ever-adorable Jill & Dan! I had a blast with them during their e-session. We explored two of Buffalo’s most beautiful spots, The Hotel @ The Lafayette (I’m partial 😉 ) and the Butler Mansion, and found some stunning backdrops. They were so fun to work with & I am even more excited…

    We were so thrilled to be invited to capture Mandy & Greg’s wedding last month in MEXICO!

☀️ 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?!
