Me at my first wedding {I'm the one on the left} ; )
I’m a photographer based in my hometown of Chicago, Il and am very lucky to have met some remarkable couples that have allowed me to document their weddings. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to document a family’s celebration creating the heirloom images that will be shown of their momentous day for generations to come. I can’t even describe how amazing it is to even be a small part of that!
In college I studied photojournalism and afterwards moved around a bit living in Ohio and Texas for a few years working as a photojournalist for daily newspapers. I came back to Chicago and started out as a freelance photographer in late 2007. When returning I helped a friend shoot a couple of weddings and here I am.
{I Like}
listening to NPR or Pandora when editing photos, red wine & coffee, to watch documentary films & programs, to read nonfiction books, love my three fur babies Chloé, Chance, & Stella (all Boston Terriers), walking the lakefront, collecting tattoos, hiking, road trips, know a little Spanish & French, to use my passport……
My wedding photos have been published in The Knot, Brides Chicago, and People magazines along with a few wedding blogs.
While living in Texas I had the opportunity to freelance for publications such as The New York Times, USA Today, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, and the Associated Press. Since returning to Chicago I have freelanced for the Chicago Tribune and the Sun Times News Group & have won plenty of photography awards too.
I can’t wait to hear from and learn more about you!
