Hello there. Let's chat about your moments!
Home life is my favorite. My husband Shaun and I got married in the California desert in 2011. Immediately after arriving home in Chicago from our Palm Springs honeymoon, we decided to move to here and start a family. We have three kids and we both love off road adventures exploring our local mountains.
I wasn't always a wedding photographer, but I have always been creative. I have a bachelor's degree in Human Resource management, which is actually the experience that made me think being my own boss was best. It didn't happen right away, and when I started my photography business I was a fine dining server full time and did both for many years.
It wasn't until the 2020 pandemic that I decided to put restaurants behind me and go all in on photography. It was a big risk and a much needed change in my life that meant I could be more present for my family in the evenings. I could not be more glad for the gift of freedom that this business has given me.
In my downtime you might find me writing haikus, going hiking, doing a puzzle, drinking coffee. More likely you will find me spending time with my kids who are ages 12, 9 and 2. I also really love birds and Radiohead. Family, love and connection are at the center of everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!
