Chicago

Photographer

Chicago based, portrait obsessed

I’m an international award-winning photographer with 15 years of experience behind the lens. My style has been compared to the dramatic and moody looks that appear in high fashion magazines: luxury with an edge.

I fell in love with the art form when I began to realize how life-changing the portrait experience can be for clients. To witness someone really feel beautiful, sometimes for the first time in their lives, is a powerful draw. I would love to discuss your specific vision or help you create one before you come in for your portrait session.

Fun facts: I'm a dad to two teenagers. In 2022, my wife and I co-founded The Tween Esteem Project, a 501c3 nonprofit that boosts the self-esteem and confidence of 11-17 year olds through portrait photography.
