My Story
My Story
I started my journey as a studio boudoir photographer, but everything changed in 2011. A dear friend asked me to photograph her family during a Thanksgiving dinner because her grandmother, who was critically ill, was sharing one last gathering with her loved ones. I grabbed my long lens, tucked myself into a corner of the room, and captured the emotions, connections, and memories of that evening. Those images became priceless treasures, and that experience sparked my passion for storytelling through photography. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with collecting memories and turning moments into timeless narratives, finding my calling in wedding photography.
Weddings are the heart of my work, and I absolutely love documenting them. Is it exhausting to make a million decisions and lead the day? Yes. Is it tough being on my feet for hours? Absolutely. Does it come with an overwhelming sense of responsibility? A thousand percent (and yes, there can never be enough "o"s to describe it!). But in the chaos, I thrive. It’s where my creativity comes alive, and meeting new people every week makes every challenge worth it. There’s nothing more rewarding than preserving the beauty, love, and authenticity of a wedding day, one frame at a time.
My why
I have a special respect for stand-up comedians. They have to be in the moment, tell a story, make people laugh (or think), lead the entire audience, and keep their energy up throughout the performance. There is no room for mistakes, Yet, they do what they love, using words, facial expressions, and body movements to perform a story. In essence, they draw people’s attention to something they’ve noticed and feel compelled to share.
I am not a funny girl; I wish I were. I've tried a few times, but nope! Despite my efforts, humor is not for me (although my son laughs at my silly jokes all the time, and that makes me a proud mom).
But I love stories. I love to tell people’s stories.
As a Photographer, I knew I could be a great storyteller. I see details and frame everything in my head with artistic composition. I understand colors, shades, light, and reflections. I capture emotions and reactions, and I appreciate the beauty of human connections. Nothing, not even a pandemic, can hinder the love people have for one another, and that is a story worth telling.
I may not have the talent for being on stage, so I got a camera. Through my lens, as a dedicated Chicago Wedding Photographer, I narrate stories that often bring tears of joy to those who see them.
