Riley and Tanner’s Sibling Portrait Session

Posted on Leave a Comment

Riley and Tanner sibling portraits in Buffalo's Delaware Park

Brothers Riley and Tanner spend a lot of time together so it made perfect sense that they needed some sibling portraits! Plus mom wanted some photos of her boys for the annual holiday card. We shot these in Buffalo’s iconic Delaware Park and moved between a few spots in the park to get a good range of photos. The boys were very excited so there was a bit of encouraging and wrangling to get them to stay put for more than a second. Yet after a handful of photos in the beginning and some one on one attention they got the hang of it and we got some fun and wonderful shots!

Suspend fashion editorial from Auxiliary Magazine featuring aerial dance photography

This summer I shot the athletic wear fashion editorial Suspend for Auxiliary Magazine’s Summer 2016 Issue. We had been wanting to do an athletic wear editorial for a while and when it occurred to our fashion editor Shannon Kramp that one of the model’s we’ve featured many times in Auxiliary, Samm Haney, was an aerial dancer, it all fell into place. We contacted Buffalo Aerial Dance and through them had a location and two more models, Anastasia Maria and founder Erica Cope.

Jennifer and RJ’s Fairytale Castle Wedding

Posted on Leave a Comment

Jennifer and RJ’s Buffalo wedding felt like a fairytale. All day long it was huge smiles and excitement. Beyond the happiness that felt like magic, the wedding was styled like a fairytale complete with a castle. The bride’s dress was a fit for a princess with sheer cap sleeves and a corseted back. The bride wore a tiara and beautiful pearl and crystal jewelry. The couple had their first dance to “Beauty and the Beast” from the Disney animated classic. The reception took place at Tonawanda Castle and we did their photos there as well, using many of the castle’s rooms and hallways. My favorite photos from the day were of the couple outside the castle at dusk.

Jennifer and RJ planned their whole fairytale castle wedding from Los Angeles with a couple of trips to Buffalo for in person meetings. An impressive feat! Jennifer’s hometown is Buffalo so it seemed the perfect location so they could be surrounded by family and friends.

Frank’s Gallagher Pier Portraits

As adults we don’t really get a lot of reasons to have a professional portrait taken. As children, we are photographed a lot, at least once a year at school plus family portraits and kid portraits and a lot by gushing parents and family. But as adults, it’s not so frequent. I love when people come to me for portraits just for the fun of it! Frank decided he wanted some more recent photos of himself, something more causal than his business head shot, something relaxed and easy going. We went to Gallagher Pier along Buffalo’s waterfront. It was the perfect location with a bit of nature mixed in with the industrial and modern lines of the pier, pavilions, and nearby grain elevators.
