    With the start of our 2019 wedding season just around the corner, I’ve been getting more & more excited about this year! I have so many wonderful couples to photograph this summer and fall. Julie & Keith are getting married in September, and when they came and met me in my office, I was…

  • 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…

    At the end of 2018, I shot many family photography sessions & am excited to share more of those with you! Let’s start with one of my legacy families.

  • Buffalo Event Photography | Alexandra’s Bridal Shower | Country Club of Buffalo

    January 30, 2019

    As a gift to her niece, Alexandra’s aunt hired me to photograph her very special bridal shower at Country Club of Buffalo. It was a Pinterest-perfect, pink party for the bride-to-be on a beautiful summer day! I loved capturing the story of Alexandra’s shower, with her closest friends and family members. Keep us in mind for all…

  • Buffalo Engagement Photography | Laura & Wes | Buffalo Botanical Gardens

    January 29, 2019

    I’ve known Laura for years, so when it was her turn to search for a wedding photographer, I was thrilled when she & Wes chose me! These two are the sweetest pair, and I knew their e-session would be adorable. They won a photo rental inside The Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens at the last…

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!🤪]
