I have always loved capturing memories. I learned that from my Uncle Mike. Since he passed away, I have picked up his hobby of capturing people's beauty and the emotions they share in a single moment. I hope I can share that love with you as well! ​ I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and now I call a cozy neighborhood in Chicago home. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me reading a good book, grabbing drinks with friends, snuggling with my cat, or riding my Peloton!
