Lead Photographer
My favorite thing about photography is having the ability to show people beauty in things they might otherwise overlook or find unappealing at first glance.
The other thing I love so much, is having the ability to offer different visual perspectives from the everyday view of life.
I really want everyone that I work with to feel as though we are family, so that the images we take together really capture everyone's true personality.
More than that, I really try to make everyone's experience with me unique, fun, and memorable.
That being said, I operate in a "wall-less studio" setting, meaning that all shoots are on location. I have found that this allows my clients to better express themselves with the flexibility of choosing their own unique setting.
I love taking all kinds of photographs, and try my best not to adhere to any one genre of photography. I am always striving to improve my own technique, and evolve my photographic style. To do this, I am constantly researching, watching, and meeting with other photographers.
I have been working with the Chicago Music Guide since 2007 as a concert photographer. This opportunity has opened many doors for me, and has helped me learn so much about the music industry.
Aside from being a still photography, I am also a helicopter video camera operator for network news here in Chicago. I worked for ABC 7 for about a year, and am currently working simultaneously with NBC 5 and Fox Chicago. It's such a unique and wonderful experience!
I studied at Northern Illinois University with a focus in film (media studies) and broadcast journalism, and a minor in fashion. Photography actually wasn't a realized passion until shortly after graduating from college.
When I'm not taking photos, I like to keep busy with a variety of things, including studying classical piano. I've been playing for more than 16 years now, and have been studying techniques from my amazing teacher, Alexander Djordjevic, for a little over three years now. He is an immensely talented pianist and extraordinary teacher. Please take some time to listen to him performing - www.alexanderdjordjevic.com
