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!

Nuemann Extended Family Session
It was a pleasure to see an old friend from high school and photograph her lovely family! We did an extended family session at Glen Park under their octagon pavilion. The picked time and date were the only time and date the whole family could get together for photos, with members coming together from out of town. So despite the heavy rain, the session had to go on! Although not the original plan, it proved to be a nice location. Kids can be hard to photograph in a contained space with all their family looking on so we ventured out to the nearby nature playground to capture some shots we couldn’t get under the pavilion. We made it fun!
Beckett Newborn Lifestyle Session
Last year I got to photograph Angela and Jim’s wedding and this year I got to photograph them with their newborn Beckett! We did a combination of newborn portraits and lifestyle shots in their home. So many sweet moments!
Anne Maternity Session
Anne’s maternity session was laid back and casual. We picked a location to reflect that, Knox Farm State Park. It was a chilly early day of spring but we made it work and embraced the wind. I love this location so much! It offers a lot of variety and a great backdrop.
Nichols Annual Auction by The Refined Host
When I was contacted by Daulton of The Refined Host to photograph one of the small gatherings that would make up 2021’s Nichols Annual Auction, I knew it was going to be a stunning event! I am in love with balloon arches and was even more excited when I learned that Buffalo Balloon Co. would be putting one together for the party. The decor was a perfect mix of fun and school spirit colors with elegant and sophisticated touches. I have been finding photographing events and parties really enjoyable as I love party planning and decorations!
