We photographed Jennifer and Ryan’s engagement session at Delaware Park on a misty spring morning. Delaware Park is beautiful in the spring and we moved their session up a bit to avoid late morning rain. Everything was vibrant and vivid. There were delicate emerging flowers everywhere. Late April was the perfect time for a spring Delaware Park session! We started at Hoyt Lake for some classic shots then walked to a hanging-in-there cherry blossom tree on the other side of the lake then over to the ivy arch bridge. The bridge was stunning with yellow flowers all around. Jennifer brought a few props, a clear umbrella, a black hat, and a jean jacket, and that added variety to the session. Was great spending the morning with them and getting to know them before their wedding next year!

Jenna and Alex’s fun and bright Wedding at The Loft at Thin Man Brewery
Jenna and Alex had their wedding at The Loft at Thin Man Brewery on Chandler Street and did portraits at the Ivy Bridge at Delaware Park. They were so sweet with each other all day and their true caring and affection for each other was so apparent all day. Their wedding style was bright but classic. Their wedding vibe was fun and full of love.
Ashleigh and Jamison’s Hoyt Lake Engagement Session
Ashleigh and Jamison got engaged at Hoyt Lake in Delaware Park so it was their top pick for a location for their engagement session. It was also a given that their dogs would be included in the session! They were very excited to be included and even had bandanas and leashes that matched their owner’s outfits. Too cute! Ashleigh and Jamison were smart too, they invited a friend to their session to take the dogs after their time in the spotlight was over. After the doggie portraits we went over by the willow trees for some cozy shots while the sun began to set.
Andy and Daisy Proposal Session
Spent part of my Mother’s Day this year capturing this proposal! So beautiful and amazing! When Andy reached out to contact me and told me his proposal plans I just couldn’t say no to photographing it. Lulani’s Tables set the scene with a stunning picnic set up on the edge of Hoyt Lake in Buffalo’s Delaware Park. There was a gorgeous table setting, pillows and blankets to get cozy with, lots of delicious food, champagne, and even a checkers game. I just had to get a good handful of details. Then Andy and Daisy arrived and Andy popped the question right away. There were so many smiles and kisses and so much laughter and joy after that. It was so clear how happy and in love they both were. We did some portraits and then I stayed for a few to capture as they dug in. Love this set, had to share a ton!
Dossett Family Holiday Mini Session
I have been photographing the Dossett family for many years and have seen their son Calvin grow over the years! This year we meet at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park for a holiday mini session. Even though I know Calvin and have photographed him since his hospital stay when he was born, it takes some time to get him to warm up to having his photograph taken. But we always have fun and we always get there! This year the family was bigger with a new puppy!
