I’m a Chicago-based food and beverage photographer who launched my career in photojournalism — the focus of my BA in Photography — with a genuine passion for visual storytelling that has guided my work ever since. Whether I’m exploring a new restaurant, experimenting in the kitchen, or sourcing local ingredients, food and narrative are woven into everything I do.

My work has always been driven by a love of adventure, travel, and the constant pursuit of learning and creating. Early journalism assignments took me everywhere from canoeing the Rio Grande to flying in a vintage WWII aircraft and documenting controlled building demolitions. That same spirit of exploration now drives my food and beverage work — crafting compelling, story-driven imagery for brands.

Today I channel my adventurous and creative passion into food and beverage photography, partnering with commercial, editorial, and hospitality clients on studio product work, creative content, and on-location shoots — with deep roots in the Chicago Midwest market.
