PROFESSIONAL
As a photographer in the Chicago area, I have had the incredible opportunity to work in a wide variety of photography genres. Since graduating with my Bachelors in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in December 2022, my focus has been working in Fashion, Beauty, and E-Commerce with brands such as AKIRA, Bolt Addiction, and The Rock Agency. Having creative freedom truly allows me to shine, and I work best when I'm involved in every part of the creative process. When working with brands or models, I love to collaborate and be involved in every aspect, from set design to the final edits. I would describe my work as clean and colorful, with intense attention to detail. It's hard to put my work in one box, because something I love about this career is being able to adapt my style to the brand or person I'm working with! While working in the Fashion industry has been my focus, I've made it my mission to not confine myself to just one thing. I also have experience in Commercial Product Photography, Dance Photography, Senior Portraits, and Food Photography! As long as there's a camera in my hands and a photoshoot on the books, I'm happy!
PERSONAL
Now that the formal stuff is out of the way, here's a little about me! You can usually find me working or hanging out in a coffee shop, and I'm obsessed with trying new small businesses and unique drinks. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and still live in the area, but I'm not against a long drive for good coffee (or for any reason, really!) Spotify says my top genres are Pop Soul and Indie Folk, but I'm always blasting something different during my long drives. I do pilates or yoga almost every day, and I love to travel as much as I can. While I'm definitely a beach girl at heart, I grew up figure skating and have recently rediscovered my love for it, specifically skating on wild ice in the winter! My favorite vacation destinations are vastly different: Grand Cayman in the summer when it's 90 degrees and humid, and Banff, Canada in the winter when it barely gets above zero. I guess I'm well-rounded in many different ways! Since I truly am passionate about photography, a lot of my personal life revolves around creativity, and I'm so lucky to have a career that doesn't really feel like a job!
