Bryan & Caitlin | Buffalo NY Fall Family Engagement Session | Delaware Park

I absolutely loved getting to spend an evening with this little crew for Bryan & Caitlin's engagement session :) They of course wanted their sweet little babes in the photos, and we had a gorgeous Fall day for our shoot. We started at their house, played in the leaves, met the pups, and then headed over to their favorite spot in Delaware Park to do some exploring! Abigail & Dylan are the cutest, and this lovely family totally rocked their session! I especially enjoyed setting aside some time at the end of the shoot to capture some moments with just B&C, celebrating their engagement & their love story as a couple :) I can't wait to hang with you all again on the big day!

Big Brothers Big Sisters | Kayleigh & Crystal | Buffalo Portrait Photographer

Did you know that City Lights Studio is the photographer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of WNY? I have so enjoyed working with BBBS over the years, photographing great matches for their newsletters and billboard campaigns. It's so rewarding to be able to offer my services for such a great organization and wonderful to be able to do some pro-bono work. I really enjoyed my last shoot with Kayleigh & Crystal at Front Park earlier this season. They love to go to the park & hang out when they spend time together :) Aren't they just adorable!?

Kara & Dom | Buffalo Portrait Photographer | Delaware Park Engagement Session

Meet the ever adorable Kara & Dom :) I had so much fun hanging with them at Delaware Park for their e-session and loved learning more about the incredible wedding they have planned! I'm so excited to be a part of it all! Check out the highlights from our shoot below!

Christie | Buffalo Portrait Photography, Tifft Nature Preserve & Gallagher Pier

I was so excited to receive an email from Christie, asking for fun, earthy, fashion portraits! We hit two of my favorite locations in Buffalo, Tifft Nature Preserve and Gallagher's Beach, and lucked out with the most perfect weather (after rescheduling about ten times due to rain!) I can't even tell you how much I love a client who says "I'm up for anything!" We hiked, we climbed trees, we splashed around in the lake; I left with my jeans soaked up to my thighs and a huge smile on my face. She is simply stunning, amiright!?

As we were walking around, she said "I don't really have a reason for doing this shoot... I just wanted pictures that capture who I am right now, so I can enjoy them forever. Does that make sense?"

Umm... YES! Thank you, Christie, for saying this! It's so important to remember to celebrate yourself, during big moments, and especially "just because". I am so excited to have been asked to capture these gorgeous photos with you; I hope you enjoy them forever!
