About me:
Born and raised in Chicago, I’ve always carried a deep appreciation for hard work, grit, and the beauty in everyday moments. For over two decades, I built a career in the restaurant industry, learning the value of dedication, hustle, and human connection. But at 40, I made the bold decision to start over—trading kitchens and late nights for cameras and natural light.
Photography isn’t just a career shift for me—it’s a calling. What began as a creative escape quickly turned into a full-blown passion. Today, I approach every shoot with the same work ethic that shaped my past, but with the added joy of doing something I truly love. Whether I’m capturing the rich colors of fresh produce or the quiet strength in someone’s portrait, I aim to tell honest, compelling stories through my lens.
This isn’t just a job—it’s the life I chose, and I bring that passion to every frame.
