Still not over this day. 🤍🌿
Kyler & Sal’s wedding was one of those days that was just genuinely FUN from beginning to end. So much love, so many laughs, an incredible group of people, and two people who made my job ridiculously easy.
And getting to photograph it all at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens?! 😍 Absolutely beautiful.
There are SO many photos from this day that I already love, but I had to share a few sneak peeks while I work through the rest. That last nighttime shot though… 🥹🤌🏽
Kyler & Sal, thank you for trusting me with your wedding day. I’m so happy I got to be a part of it. Congratulations, guys!! 🤍🥂
Huge shoutout to the team that helped make their day happen:
🌿 Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens
✨ Kaduk — Wedding & Event Coordinator
✨ Asher — Wedding & Event Manager

Okay, I’m officially doing it. 👀📸

STRANGER SESSIONS are happening!

I’ve gotten way more interest in this idea than I expected, so I put together an application to help me make the matches.

You’ll fill out a little about yourself, your personality, what you’re looking for, your preferences, and your comfort level. I’ll do the matching, and the best part? You will NOT see or talk to your match beforehand. You’ll meet for the first time at your session. 😅

For now, Stranger Sessions will be $75 per person once matched. This is an introductory price and is well below my normal session pricing, so as this grows, the price will likely increase.

No pressure for it to turn into anything. Maybe there’s chemistry, maybe you make a new friend, or maybe you just walk away with some really freaking good photos and a story to tell. 😂

If you’re brave enough… fill out the application. 👀

THIS is where Fall Minis are happening this year. 😍🍂📸
I wanted to give you guys a little peek at Sonnenberg Gardens because there are SO many gorgeous spots here. We’re talking fall colors, gardens, stone stairways, ponds, beautiful architecture… basically a photographer’s playground. 😂

And the best part? We’ll be able to move around and give you a really good variety of photos instead of every gallery looking exactly the same.

I am so EXCITED to shoot these here 😍

🍁 Fall Minis at Sonnenberg Gardens
📍 Canandaigua, NY
📸 $200
💵 $50 deposit to reserve your spot
✨ Couples, families, kiddos — all welcome!

These are going to be SO GOOD once the fall colors really start showing off. 😍
Spots are limited, so grab yours before they’re gone!

A day late over here since I shared them on my personal page yesterday, but obviously they deserve a spot on my photography page too. 🤍📸

Happy National Daughters Day to my two favorite girls. 🤍

Being your dad is hands down one of the best parts of my life. Liv & AJ, you two are SO different 😂 but you both make life better, louder, funnier, and definitely a lot more interesting.

I love getting to watch you grow into your own little people, even if I’d really like time to slow down a little bit. 🥹

And one thing I’ll always be grateful for is having thousands of photos like these to look back on. You might get sick of Dad always having a camera in your face, but someday you’ll thank me. 😂📸

Love you girls more than you’ll ever know. 🤍
Happy National Daughters Day, Liv & AJ.

There’s something about wedding days. 🤍

The big moments are beautiful, the first look, the kiss, the first dance.

But it’s the little moments that always get me.

The nervous hands before walking down the aisle.
Mom trying not to cry.
Dad’s face when he sees his baby all dressed up.
The quick glances across the room.
The laughs that happen when nobody realizes I’m taking a photo.
The absolute chaos on the dance floor. 😂

Those are the moments I’m always watching for.

Because years from now, I don’t just want you to remember what your wedding looked like.

I want you to remember what it felt like. 🤍📸

🍂 FALL MINIS AT SONNENBERG GARDENS! 🍂

The location is officially locked in and I am SO excited for these. 😍

📸 15-minute session
🍁 10+ professionally edited images
💰 $200
🤎 $50 retainer to reserve your spot

Between the gardens, gorgeous grounds, architecture, and all of those fall colors, we are going to have SO many beautiful options. 🍂

Okay… I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and I think it’s finally time 👀📸

Would anyone be interested in a STRANGER PHOTO SESSION?!

Here’s the idea:

Two complete strangers.
You don’t meet until you show up for the session.
I’ll give you prompts, activities, and plenty of direction so we can skip as much of the awkwardness as possible 😂

Think laughing, flirting, getting way too close to someone you literally JUST met… and hopefully some 🔥 photos out of it.

No pressure for it to turn into anything. No dating-show expectations. Just two people willing to step outside their comfort zone, have some fun, and create some really cool photos.

If there’s enough interest, I’m actually going to make this happen!

Would you do it?! 👀

Comment 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ or tag your brave single friends 😂

Photo for attention 😆🤩

Aitor made his entrance a month early and has already proven just how strong he is. 💙
After such a big journey, he showed up to his newborn session wide awake and ready for it all — turns out he didn’t want to miss a thing.
We got a little sleep… then right back to the action 😅
His moms were all about capturing every moment, even the real ones — because this is his story, just as it is.
Strong little guy. Two amazing moms. 🤍
