Some things about me:

I have my Master’s degree from the University of Illinois in journalism. I was a photojournalist for 10 years with the Sun-Times Media Group in the Chicago burbs. 

With my background as a photojournalist I am well trained in the art of moment-capturing.

I am a writer, 

a sunshine enthusiast 

a bibliophile, 

and a big supporter of laughing without reservations.

I am a fan of exercise, 

nature, 

avocados, 

digging in the dirt, 

clever words,

animals,

deep breathing 

and deep stretching, 

high fives.

And I laugh.

A lot.

I love to tell stories. 

Visually through my photographs

Verbally through my words

or by gesturing a lot. (not really. I’d make a horrible mime.)

I specialize in preserving moments.

That moment you walk down the aisle and you see your soon-to-be spouse,  

when you give THE most ridiculously loving look to your dog,

when your kiddo makes that face that is so THEM, 

when you have all your closest friends gathered for a celebration,

I see the value in these moments and I sincerely.

Honestly.

Want you to have that moment forever. 

In an album, on your homescreen, or your phone, or printed out.

Stories.
