  • Buffalo Family Photography | Alicia & Sandy | Mother’s Day in the Japanese Gardens

    May 13, 2015

    I was so thrilled when Alicia & I connected on Friday to plan a last-minute session with her mom, Sandy. This talented mother-daughter duo own William’s Florist, one of the absolute best in Buffalo, and we couldn’t think of a better place to capture portraits of these two florists than amongst the cherry blossoms! The…

    May 9, 2015

    A dark, stormy and cloudy day didn’t stop us from getting outside & playing for Erik & Marissa’s e-session last week! We hit three of Buffalo’s most lovely spots, including the Cobblestone District, Gallagher Pier & Tifft Nature Preserve, which gave us a great array of backdrops for these shots. We were freezing, and…

☀️ 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?!
