My Story

I didn't start here. But I was always headed here.

Insert story here.

WHAT I BELIEVE

The philosophy behind every session.

You deserve to be seen

Every person who sits in front of my camera deserves to walk away feeling like the most confident version of themselves.

Strategy before the shutter

I spend time understanding your business before we ever pick up a camera. Every image has a purpose.

Legacy over likes

I’m not shooting for a trend. I’m building a visual archive of this chapter of your story — images that work for years.

The Credentials behind the camera

A little more about me

Beyond the camera

Based in

Chicago, very technically.  I’m on the border of Evanston and Chicago but I love claiming that I’m still in the city

Fueled by

Matcha lattes and conversations.  I love people, and hearing their stories.  Dont be alarmed if I ask all the questions when we meet

Obsessed with

Thrifting and sustainable fashion.  My husband jokes that “Thanks. it’s thrifted,” should be my patented catchphrase

My clients say

She is so calm and collected.  I felt prepped for the shoot and so relaxed during it.

Ready to work together?

Let's build something that lasts

Every client starts with a conversation. Tell me about your business and what you’re building — I’ll take it from there.
