ABOUT ME

I was born in Springfield Illinois but raised in Batavia during the 1990s. After finishing my college GenEd classes at the College of DuPage I attended Illinois State University, graduating in 2011 with a B.A. in History and Political Sciences. A few years after graduating I moved to Orlando Florida where I resided for several years working for the Walt Disney Company and several hotels. 

​​

In 2019 I moved out of Florida and soon thereafter moved back to Illinois in 2021. After some encouragement from my friends I chose to return to the College of DuPage in 2024 to pursue a degree in photography and graduated in the spring of 2026 with an emphasis in family and cosplay portraiture.

​​​

What began as a general interest in my early years, photography has evolved into a true passion in my life. I love creating images with people, seeing them smile and happy with the result of their pictures.​ Whether taking photos at a convention or on location at Bristol Renaissance Faire my goal is to tell your story by capturing your best moments using my camera.

​I get excited about each individual photoshoot because I care about every single client I work with and I want to ensure we have the most successful photoshoot possible. One quality all of my clients quickly realize is that I'm very high energy and enthusiastic about taking photos. I will always endeavor to create the best images and work with your vision so the ideas you have will become reality. ​​
