The Photographer
Hello! I’m so glad you’re considering me for your portrait photography session. As a professional photographer for over 15 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many people and their pets in Chicagoland and beyond, creating authentic and emotive portraits.
Before I became a pet photographer, I ran a full-time, professional studio in the Chicago Arts District, focusing mainly on maternity, newborn, headshots, and family portraiture. After several years, I took the show on the road and made my studio location-only.
It's no secret that I have a deep love of nature, and my photographs show it! When not photographing pets and their people, I can be found kayaking, taking in my son's baseball games, or spending time with one of my own furry family members, which includes a senior chihuahua and two cats. (Sadly, my horse passed away in the winter of 2023.)
My goal is to have fun, but also to deliver a gorgeous set of images to you. Every single time. That’s why I’ve spent countless hours honing the craft of photography, learning how to read and use lighting, and continuing to seek inspiration and new skills.
If you’re interested in learning more or booking your own session with me, please reach out.
I hope to meet you soon.
