Hi, it’s me
Thank you for coming to visit me on my website. Whether it be for your family or for your business, I like working collaboratively with all my clients to create great images. I look forward to working with you.
My Style
Sometimes the best moments to capture happen between the setups and in those moments the true memories are made. I consider myself more of a lifestyle photographer. I have found the character of a person can be seen in both a beautiful smile and a silly face. Ultimately, I look to find the beauty, love, and humanity that exists in every passing moment, not necessarily “perfection”. In family photography, I look to record “who we are right now” which makes a photographic memory that can be enjoyed for generations.
My Story
I feel like I have been taking photographs my whole life, long before I owned a camera. As the youngest of four children, I had plenty of opportunity for observation. My father passed away when I was 8 which gave me a perspective and appreciation for how precious relationships are. I have also always been very visual and feel privileged to be able to put that talent to good use.
Family photography is only a single passion of mine, I also do photographs for clients with other needs. These include:
- Weddings and events
- Head Shots
- PR and Marketing photography for brand identity
- Interior Design Photography
- Product Photography
My Assistants
I live in downtown Chicago with my sweet husband Madison who assists me from time to time. We met swing dancing at the old Green Dolphin Street Club in Chicago, where it was love at first swing out. We have a cuddly Havanese/Poodle mix named Irma that we adopted in 2013. I love serving my clients all over the city, suburbs, and even a few out of state. Have camera, will travel.
