I was at my dad’s house where the front door was purposefully left wide open to let the light stream in. My gaze settled on the collection of National Geographic magazines. I flipped through the pages of beautiful, mesmerizing locations and made one simple statement — I want to travel the world and take photos. 

From there, I ripped out page after page of magazine, but specifically from high-fashion prints. I was mesmerized by the femininity and editorial vision. I’ve always loved beautiful things, but have consistently enjoyed the day-to-day act of observing people as they are. I can’t help but pay close attention to the connections between others. I use photography to show people a piece of themselves, layered with purpose. With a home in Chicago, a marriage of my own that began in Santa Barbara, and clients worldwide, I feel incredibly fulfilled — passing similar opportunities forward with a percentage of each booking being donated to the Epilepsy Foundation.


I was 8 years old when I first expressed one singular wish that led to today. 

The tears shed when the maid of honor stood up to give her speech — she’d known the bride for a lifetime, and after three decades, she couldn’t say much through the tears, but that said it all.

The time the bride customized her grandmother’s wedding dress, but she wasn’t the first — her mother did the same, making it a tradition that was tailored for three generations!

The one couple that swayed arm in arm with their best friends on the dance floor while the live saxophonist and club-style DJ gave them the party of a lifetime.

When the groom serenaded the bride and she then joined in with a dreamy harmony to surprise their loved ones.

And the memories that go with them

The life I want to live and remember is one of fulfilling relationships.

The world can be rich, but also harsh. With well-rounded relationships, you have the support to carry you through all stages of life. I love witnessing as others make it a point to listen, see and and fully understand each other — unafraid to get whisked away — playfully and deeply in love. Like dancing in ambient light, just holding each other until he brushes the hair out of your face and time almost stands still.

For me, that depth is demonstrated through monthly get-togethers with the girls hosted at mine, lunch breaks with a good run, podcasts with a captivating story and live music. Let’s not forget date nights with my husband and a dirty martini. We love a good night in too, cooking and dancing in the kitchen, realizing hours later that it’s midnight and we’re still deep in conversation.

Noticing the stir of momentum, and the encouragement to pause — there is an energy, purpose, and lesson in each season of the year.
