  • Melissa & Matt | Buffalo Portrait Photography | Times Beach Maternity Session

    October 8, 2014

    Remember this duo? I’ve been lucky enough to capture them quite a few times, from their engagement session, to their wedding, to family photos for the holidays to other weddings & more! I was so excited to shoot their maternity session, and celebrate their growing family 🙂 Some of you may even recognize Melissa…

    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…

  • 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…

☀️ 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?!
