Portraits

These sessions are all about celebrating who you are, where you’re at, or what you’re creating. You don’t need a big reason to get portraits done (though milestones are always a beautiful excuse).

Modern portraits in natural light

I’ve photographed portraits for:

  • birthdays and personal milestones

  • new creative chapters

  • personal healing journeys

  • personal branding

  • press kits and portfolios

  • or simply… because they wanted to

As a Chicago portrait photographer, my goal is to create clean, timeless portraits that feel grounded, soft, and real. whether you’re in front of the camera often or not at all.

headshots

Non-traditional headshots for professionals and creatives

In my Chicago studio, I photograph people from all career paths who want a headshot that feels a little more... them. If you're over stiff, overly posed corporate headshots, you’re not alone — and you’re exactly who I shoot for.

Whether you're an actor needing fresh digitals, a creative updating your portfolio, or someone wanting a more personal look for LinkedIn or your website, these headshots are meant to show your personality and your professionalism.

Clean and intentional.
