ABOUT

I’m drawn to the kind of people who wear their hearts on their sleeves, who find beauty in the small moments, who aren’t afraid to kick off their shoes and live a little. You don’t have to fit a mold here — in fact, I hope you don’t. The best stories are the ones where you show up exactly as you are. If you're someone who values presence over perfection, you're my kind of people.

I balance gentle guidance with plenty of space to simply be. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop, gathering under Midwest skies, or reclaiming your magic in a boudoir session, I’m there to document the honest, soulful, in-between moments that make time stand still.

Connection is everything. When you feel safe to show up exactly as you are, the most genuine moments unfold and that’s what I’m here to capture. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend than a vendor, you’re in the right place. Now, let’s make some damn magic together.

Raised in the mitten, in love with Chicago, and nestled right between the two, I create experiences that are more than just a photoshoot - they’re grounding, empowering and honest as hell. Bare feet in the grass, spinning vinyl on a Sunday morning, a Midwest sunset - those little moments remind me how sacred time really is and that’s the heart behind everything I document.

Photography has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a camera glued to my hand but it wasn’t until 2021 that I said fuck it and took this passion full-time. My work isn’t about perfection - it’s about embracing whatever the day and the experience bring. The real shit. The good, the messy, the magic.
