About Me
I was born and raised in Rockford, IL (Machesney-Park, to be precise), and I am incredibly proud to be a native of this city. Rockford has always held a special place in my heart. After spending a few years in Woodstock, IL from 2018 to 2022, I returned to Rockford in 2023 and have no plans to leave.
Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I was always the one capturing moments at family gatherings, photographing my Nana's garden, and documenting wildlife. My father, also a photographer, ignited my interest in this art form, and he continues to be my greatest inspiration.

I began my professional photography journey in 2022 and have been dedicated to it ever since. While I specialize in portrait photography, I also frequently capture images of wildlife and nature whenever possible. I am deeply passionate about creating portraits that evoke a special feeling, whether in a tattoo shop, at an event, or during a wedding.
My studio is situated within the wonderful The McPherson and I am truly delighted to share a space with other remarkable local artists and individuals.
In addition to my work as a photographer, I am also an artist. I create handmade resin jewelry using locally sourced flowers, as well as jewelry from antique dishes, fluid art, and collage art. These items are available through my online shop and at local art events in the Rockford and Chicago regions.
I am also an enthusiastic patron of antique stores and a thrifter, and I am passionate about discovering plus-size vintage items for both myself and others.
I cannot wait to work with you!
