Last week I hopped on over to Pilsen to scope the mural walls and assist The Obsidian Frog 𓆏 with a product shoot! I am so thrilled with how these had turned out and am even more thrilled that these creative projects are showcased in the light they deserve ✨🐸

Word on the street is he’ll be out live art’ing and vending for Desert Dwellers this Saturday! Give him a follow, and make sure to go peep his wonderful works if you’re in Palatine this weekend!

I’ve been waiting for the right moment to announce this, to let these images breathe on a physical medium outside of my studio. There’s a certain vulnerability in showing people the versions of these spaces that typically only live in my head, but I’m finally doing it, and it feels incredible.

I’ve officially hung my first gallery set at Simone's. These pieces explore that thin line where the Chicago skyline meets something a bit more... organic 🌿

If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and wander through the Art Lab to see them in person. All framed prints are available for purchase right off the wall if you’d like to bring one of these worlds into your own space ✨

📍 The Art Lab at Simone’s (960 W 18th St). Grab a drink and head to the back!

Who would ever think that a delivery driver interrupting a photoshoot would deliver such a magical candid shot?! I thrive for happy accidents in my work, and notice that they sometimes make for the greatest of outcomes!

Shoutout to Lunar Ticks for always being amazing subjects in front of my lens, for keeping shoots fulfilling and full of energy!

✨ 2026 BOOKINGS: if you are someone needing content and are thinking of reaching out please do so ASAP! My Spring 2026 calendar is filling up! My inbox is open for questions, collabs, and inquiries ✨

Small Business Saturday hits a little deeper when you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 the small business 📸 I’m tremendously grateful for the families that trust in me to help tell their story - and even more grateful for those who support my little corner of creativity 🧡

If you’ve been wanting holiday photos, updated family portraits, or other subjects far and between, send me a DM ✨

Hey friends!…

I’ve recently ran into some car trouble that is taking hold of of my savings. With this said…

I am offering 50% (yes HALF) off of all of my Videography and Photography services for the month of November! If you’ve been wanting to schedule a portrait shoot, something with the family for Thanksgiving, a music video, or anything in between, NOW would be the time to do so!

Feel free to send me a PM or email me directly at [email protected]!
