For Calvin’s two year portraits we took it outside as he clearly wanted a lot of room to run around and play. We chose Buffalo’s Delaware Park for his child portrait session because it had a playground and a few other fun locations. It was a fun session chasing him around as he explored and enjoyed the day!

Riley and Tanner Sibling Portraits
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!
Calvin Six Month Portraits
For Calvin’s six month portrait photoshoot we ventured out to the Japanese Garden at Delaware Park. We got some balloons as a prop because 6 months is a big milestone!

Rose Mortem Designer Spotlight for Auxiliary Magazine
A tree grove, two wonderful models, a great hair and makeup team, a great assistant, the perfect jewelry from Adelina Mictlan, and beautiful gowns from Rose Mortem all came together for the Auxiliary Magazine February/March 2013 Issue Designer Spotlight on Rose Mortem. I wore a couple hats on set that day working as fashion stylist and creative director in addition to shooting. The trick is lots of planning ahead of the shoot so it all goes smoothly day of. I always love it when I get to style shoots, especially when there are pieces as stunning as these involved! You can see more of this fashion feature at auxiliarymagazine.com.
