I'm based in Lafayette, Indiana — about three hours south. I don't live in Chicago, I visit it deliberately, with a specific brief and a camera. That distance isn't a disadvantage. It means I don't have a default route or a favourite easy location. Every Chicago session starts from scratch.

What doesn't change: we talk before we start. We figure out what the portrait is for and who it's of. We find the location that fits that. Then we work.

Portrait — dancer with arms wide and one leg raised, dark stage
Good for

Chicago individuals, families, and small businesses

Chicago has more photographers per square mile than anywhere else I work. If you've found your way here, you're probably looking for something specific — a particular approach, a particular kind of portrait, something you haven't found closer to home.

I work with individuals building a personal or professional brand, families who want portraits that feel true rather than tidy, and small businesses that need imagery with some character to it.

The same work I do everywhere, in a city that gives it more room.

Portrait — woman with nose ring, direct gaze, natural light
Portrait — two people in studio, one seated, one standing
Abstract study — form and tone
