Who I Am

Bio

I've been messing around with cameras since I was 12 and am in love with the art of photography. You can trust me. 

In addition to the commercial work you see on this site, I am exploring photography as therapy for individual development and also in conjunction with my work as a death midwife. You can learn more about the work and see my fine art photography at www.artlifedeath.com

I graduated from UIC's School of Art & Design in 2010. I grew up on a farm in Kansas and moved to Chicago in 2005. I love music, cooking, board games, rollercoasters, and exploring new places.

I currently live in Humboldt Park with a little old dog who huffs a lot.

Expertise

My expertise spans multiple disciplines and industries. I have worked in film and digital, with DSLR, 35mm, medium, & large format cameras. I have worked domestically and internationally. In addition to photo and video work, I somehow find time to teach private lessons.

I have worked with a variety of companies including Hulu, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, The Baha'i World Center,  GoDaddy Social, Witt Kieffer, Jameson Realty, WBEZ, Shapermint, SDI Presence, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Pepe's Mexican Restaurants, North Grand High School, LaSalle II Elementary, Innovare Social Innovation Partners, ShootSmarter University, Nepal Youth Orphan Foundation, NECO Home, CSC Consulting, Alarm Press, plus over 400 local businesses! 

I would love to work with you too.
