  • Buffalo Family Photography | Hunter, Jane, Leigh & Jimmy | At-Home Session

    March 4, 2019

    When the weather turns colder, a lot of my clients ask me where we should go for photos. While there are a few standard go-to’s, I love when my clients opt to make their family photography session really personal instead. I was really excited when Leigh & Jimmy asked if I could capture them inside…

It’s wonderful to reflect on how this practice brought me back to the basics… I haven’t created non-client/non-iPhone photos in so long. It was a joy to slow down + *play* with color, composition + creating, without an end goal in mind.

As a true portrait photographer, it was a challenge at first to find inspiration in non-human subjects - YOUR energy is such a big part of my work! This practice has retrained my brain + I find myself pausing to enjoy little vignettes wherever I go now 🤩 

It’s a gift to see the world so beautifully + perhaps, you’ll try this too? ♥️
