    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,…

    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…

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? ♥️
