  • Buffalo Wedding Photography | Alyssa & Jon | Botanical Gardens & Kloc’s Grove

    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…

    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…

    June 26, 2015

    I think one of the most flattering moments of my job is when fellow photographers hire me. I get giddy when I get to work with fellow creatives, and am always so honored to be the one they chose. Jackie & Brian told me they were up for anything for this shoot, and I may have…

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!🤪]
