Most of my experience in photography comes from the countless portraits that I have taken. I love capturing an individual's personality in the perfect shot.

Advertising
I am also particularly interested in assisting companies and organizations with advertising their products and messages. I have collaborated with Target, EXKi, and John G. Shedd Aquarium.

Artistic
My passion for photography draws me to a wide array of subjects including children, families, and special events! Please take a look at my personal favorites in my gallery below.
