While I have enjoyed spending the last few years honing my skills as a “playful posed” photographer, I am so excited to bring lifestyle photography to families in the Chicago area. I have worked as a photographer at the St. Louis Magazine, The Prague Post and The Sunday Tribune in Dublin, Ireland. I have been a director of photography at the Naples Daily News in Florida, assistant director of photography at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and most recently a photo editor at The Chicago Tribune.

And now, I want to take all that experience and bring you the most amazing, authentic photos of your family at this moment in time. I want to show you how you feel about each other in photos. I want you to look at your storytelling album years from now and remember what your days felt like. I want to capture and crystallize your memories as they are happening.

I had the pleasure of photographing this family right before their oldest left for his first year of college. When I look at these images, I can still hear the kids joking and laughing with each other. I was struck by how sweet all the boys were with their little sister. I loved capturing them hanging out on a gorgeous summer evening in a beautiful forest preserve, enjoying an impromptu game of touch (and occasionally tackle 😉 ) football.
