Chicago Naperville, Senior, Family, Teen, Childrens, Baby, Newborn Photographer bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    It has always been my intention to be an artist. I've always loved art and creating, and many times over the years I've sat down with pencil and pad in hand to sketch something that inspired me, but just couldn't get it "just right". I knew I had images in my mind, a world to explore and lives to highlight, but it wasn't until I picked up a camera when my first child was born that I found my voice. Photography, and in particular, photography of people, gives my thoughts and visions an outlet. It expresses my interest in the world in my own way, and hopefully inspires others to see life as I do for a moment. Photography strips away the world around us, all other senses are left behind and all that is left is the soul, ready and willing to shine. That alone makes it the most powerful medium I know. I hope my journey with the camera conveys the story I intend, that life is precious and these moments are gone in the blink of an eye.
    The photographs I’ve taken of my children are what I hold dearest to my heart. My intension in being your photographer is to create beautiful images for your family to cherish forever.

Aurora Chicago Senior Photographer…Waubonsie Valley High School Senior

This handsome guy is the son of a good friend of mine.  We’ve known each other for years.  We used to do book club together until I dropped out because their is just no time to read anymore.   Tucker is the youngest of four.   In my head her kids are still little.  I guess these pictures prove otherwise:(.  Heidi and her husband are about to become empty nesters with their youngest going off to college in the fall.  I’m torn between envy and sadness for them.  I’m sure their doing the same.  Good luck to you Tucker!  Life holds amazing things for you.  For this I’m sure.

It’s getting closer to graduation and I think I’m still in denial.  It’s getting harder to deny that this is the year that my oldest graduates high school when all of the kids that he’s gone to school with since grade school are coming in for senior portraits.  We’ve known this handsome guy  for years.  He’s our neighbor and friend and wish him luck on all of his future endeavors.  May only the best come to you my friend!

Naperville Chicago Headshot Potographer…Miss “M” Rocks her Mini Session

Miss “M” came in for head shots and ended up having a mini session.  We had a great time playing on the backdrop and getting our groove on.  OK…she got her groove on (she’s a much better dancer than me).  What a fun shoot!

Naperville Chicago Children’s Photographer…St. Raphael’s

I just want to squeeze this little guy!  He is the sweetest and most respectful little man and oooh! I just love him!  I’ve been taking pictures of him and his family since he was just a teeny little baby.  Just another reason I’m feeling old:).
