I'm a Chicago-based photographer specializing in personal branding and fashion editorial. My work is for women at every stage — launching a business, hitting a personal milestone, or starting a modeling career. Whatever the moment, my job is to make sure you look like yourself at your most powerful.

I started my career as a senior photographer at GOBI Cashmere, one of the most recognized organic cashmere brands. Six years of fashion taught me how to shape light, tell a story in a single frame, and run a shoot from start to finish. That foundation is in everything I do.

My style sits between fashion editorial and personal branding. Effortless, but intentional. Every detail matters, even when it looks like nothing was planned.

People usually tell me they felt way more comfortable than they expected. That's kind of the whole point :)

it really matters to me because

photography has the power to transform how you see yourself.

It matters because I've seen that shift happen so many times. I've watched women step in front of my camera unsure, and leave seeing their own strength.

My goal is to create that for you—a portrait that reminds you just how powerful and radiant you are.

Welcome to my

creative playground

For a consistent, pro experience, I love shooting at my studio in the vibrant Pilsen neighborhood. We've got all the gear, from professional lights to a full collection of backdrops and seasonal decor to bring our vision to life.
