I’m a Chicago-based photographer, and my work is all about capturing women at every stage. Maybe you’re launching a business, celebrating a personal milestone, or starting your modeling journey. My job is to be there for that and creating photos that feel like you at your most powerful.

With over 6 years of experience in fashion, I actually started my career as senior photographer at one of the most organic cashmere brands — GOBI Cashmere. That’s where I learned the ropes…like how to shape light, tell a story in a single image, and direct a shoot from start to finish. It was an incredible foundation.

My photography style right now is fashion editorial with personal branding, keeping photos effortless while still paying attention to every little detail. I have a soft, approachable personality, so most people feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.

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.
