  • 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…

    September 2, 2014

    Despite a huge thunderstorm, we had such a beautiful day with Lauren & Jason! We snuck outside every chance we got, and even caught a tiny bit of sunset (which was totally worth interrupting their dinner for!) From a great bridal party, to a gorgeous church, a super cool vintage car which carried Lauren’s…

    I was so excited when Justine and Tom emailed me to tell me they were engaged & that they wanted me to shoot their wedding 🙂 They are such a fun, creative couple and I knew their wedding would be a blast! Justine is an artist and Tom is a musician, and their day…

  • Baby Micah! | Buffalo Family Photographer

    August 20, 2014

    As much as I love shooting weddings, headshots, engagement sessions, etc I really LOVE when I get to spend time hanging out with cute little babes like this guy! Micah came in for his portraits with his lovely mama & we had so much fun capturing his cute smiles. He was so happy, so…

☀️ 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?!
