    September 25, 2012

    After a full week of being stuck sick in my bed, I’m THRILLED to finally be back in the studio! I’m catching up with some great sessions & weddings, all of which will be posted this week 🙂 For now, enjoy some gorgeous photos of the super cute Amber & Patrick!

    September 6, 2012

    Meet Dylan & Robyn! They are an adorable couple who own Onion Studios, another great photography business here in Buffalo! They were the ones I trusted with my own wedding (and they did a fantastic job!) I was thrilled when Dylan asked me to photograph them. In a true romantic gesture, Dylan surprised Robyn…

  • 08.24 | Melissa & Kevin Wedding

    September 6, 2012

    Every season, I get one or two very small bookings for intimate weddings. They are always some of my favorite events to photograph, not just because it’s less people to wrangle, but because it’s nice to see a wedding that is truly all about the bride & groom & the two of them sharing…

Also, when I was 16, my bestie & I became obsessed with Petty (we worked in the detail shop at @deltasonicwash & it’s all the older dudes would play 🤘🎸) We’d aimlessly drive around - gas was basically free back then 🤪 - windows down, volume UP, singing our little hearts out 😍 I can feel those moments when I hear his songs now!

Do you have a song or musician that just brings ya right back?

☀️ JUNE ☀️

Hi, hi! Join me as I commit to a full month of : 
✨ Keeping a camera on me (no client work for this part)
✨ 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?!
