"She is truly an artist."

One thing to know about me ....

I am completely, unreservedly passionate about the world around us and the experiences we get to share. Did you know that our chances of existing at all are 1 in 10^2,685,000? That’s 10 with about 2.7 million zeros after it — a staggering and incomprehensible chance. And yet, here we are. That deserves absolute revelry with every ounce of our being. It’s a call to seize and create once in a lifetime moments that make life extraordinary.

My photography blends my bright and energetic spirit with a passion for creating dark, dreamlike images — a fusion of joy and depth, of light and shadow, designed to capture life and imagination. I believe art has the incredible power to awaken something within us — something that transforms, inspires, and moves us in ways words can’t. For me, photography is more than just a profession; it’s a way to connect with others, to share the untold emotions and dreams that reside within us all. My goal is to create photographs that not only freeze time but encourage you to see and understand that there is magic within you.

Magic that makes you 1 in 10^2,685,000.

REVIEWS

the art that fuels my own

I spent 8 years capturing live music - including festivals and touring - eventually closing my books in 2024.

I spent time alongside musicians as they recorded albums in the studio, created music videos, and was active in the vibrant Chicago music scene. My work continues to be heavily and mainly influenced by the music I listen to and surround myself with. To me, the right few seconds of a song paired with beautiful imagery can transport you directly into your imagination. To me, music is one of the world's most powerful vehicles of motivation.

EDM, Rock and Pop are my main genres :)
