ABOUT
I’m a commercial and editorial photographer focusing on portrait, lifestyle, corporate, and documentary work. I returned to my Midwest roots (Milwaukee) after ten years working as a photographer in Santa Fe, New Mexico and New York City. I work locally in Chicago and much of the Midwest, and am available for travel.
I tell stories and collect moments that are part of a larger whole.
Exploration and constant curiosity have always driven me to become an artist and a photographer.
My favorite projects are rooted in powerful and organic storytelling – whether I’m one-on-one with a farmer in their orchard, or working as a team in the studio, it’s the collaborative energy that makes connections happen.
Interests include:
Finding magic in the ordinary, hiking in the mountains and the desert, and giving lots of belly rubs to Hattie, my blue heeler rescue dog from Tennessee.
Other interests include cheese (and all dairy products in general), plant hoarding, and postcard collecting.
