  • Doreen & Jim | Buffalo Wedding Photography | Templeton Landing and Tifft Nature Preserve

    October 4, 2014

    I met with Doreen & Jimmy earlier this year, and knew right away, I had to be their photographer! They full of laughs, sarcasm and a whole lotta love (my kind of people haha). They had a gorgeous wedding which was equally glamorous and laid-back. Jimmy’s two sons were the best men, and stood…

Well, it was finally time for Chelsea & Derek’s BIG day & we absolutely loved being a part of it! From the laughter-filled…

  • Announcing… Baby Richard! | Buffalo Family Photography | Beaver Island, Grand Island

    September 25, 2014

    I love so many things about my job, but I think the absolute best part is getting to see my couples grow into families and being invited to capture all those moments along the way. I still remember meeting with Nicole & Lee to talk about their wedding years ago, and how much fun…

  • Christie | Buffalo Portrait Photography, Tifft Nature Preserve & Gallagher Pier

    September 24, 2014

    I was so excited to receive an email from Christie, asking for fun, earthy, fashion portraits! We hit two of my favorite locations in Buffalo, Tifft Nature Preserve and Gallagher’s Beach, and lucked out with the most perfect weather (after rescheduling about ten times due to rain!) I can’t even tell you how much…

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 😜 #imaginerit #rochesterinstituteoftechnology #rochester #rochesterny

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!🤪]
