    Tour The Studio | Buffalo Wedding Photography inside The Hotel @ The Lafayette

    April 24, 2015

    In November 2014, City Lights Studio moved into the Hotel @ The Lafayette! It’s been nothing short of amazing! This has always been one of my all-time favorite buildings in all of Buffalo, and I am truly honored to now be able to call it home for my business <3 I really have loved joining a…

    Wanderlust | Final Adventures in Iceland | Silfra River, Golden Circle, Reykjavik

    April 24, 2015

    This is my last post for our short trip to Iceland, a country which I will forever hold in my heart. We definitely could have used an entire extra week to explore, but it was our first big trip away from our one year old (thanks Mom!), so five days was just the right amount of…

    April 22, 2015

    I took a little pause in the travel posts to share those incredible two weddings! But wanted to jump right back in, with Day 3 of our Icelandic adventures. We woke up in the little town of Hof, and headed even further east to see this incredible glacier lagoon. It was one of the top…

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!🤪]
