I am a food and beverage photographer based out of Chicago working with commercial and editorial clients, in the restaurant, magazine, and consumer industries. I began my photography career as a photojournalist and always look for those authentic storytelling moments, blending people, products, and environments, with the technical fluency to do so either in studio or on location. In my studio work, I look to create vibrant narrative images for products with dramatic lighting; on location, I also dive behind the scenes to document a brand's authentic story. When working on a project I love collaborating with creative teams to fully understand their vision and help it come to life through either still or motion content. 

I am constantly looking for new inspiration and enjoy cooking at home to improve my culinary skills, trying new recipes (to eat and photograph!), along with learning the history and culture of each dish. In my free time, I enjoy learning new things, currently, I am brushing up on my French, love to travel, or just have a short adventure to Lake Michigan to read and walk my dogs.
