Some things happen unexpectedly, and that makes them all the more meaningful. A selection of my photographs found their way onto the pages of Vogue Italia’s website, not because I set out to shoot for fashion, but because the images spoke for themselves.

It’s a reminder that good photography travels. Whether I’m shooting a wedding in Chicago or a quiet portrait session at golden hour, I bring the same care and intention to every frame.

There’s something about film that digital simply can’t replicate…the warmth, the grain, the way light falls across a frame. Film slows everything down in the best way, and the images it produces have a depth and texture that feel genuinely timeless.

I offer film photography as an add-on or as a standalone experience for portraits, weddings, and engagements. If you’re drawn to that look and feel, I’d love to talk through what’s possible for your session.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic and remain a practicing member of the faith. That background shapes the way I approach this work. Photographing the Mass isn’t just a professional assignment for me. It’s a setting I know well, and I understand how to move within it respectfully, quietly, and without disrupting what’s sacred.

I previously worked in the Archdiocese of St. Louis’ Office of Communication, photographing events for both their newspaper and social media. I have also been commissioned to document priestly ordinations and first Mass celebrations. 

Whether you need a polished LinkedIn photo, a professional bio image, or something with more editorial flair, I’ll make sure the final result feels like you at your best.

I work with individuals, entrepreneurs, and teams. Sessions are relaxed, efficient, and tailored to your brand, so you walk away with images you’ll actually want to use.

Graduation is one of those milestones that deserves to be documented well. Whether you’re finishing high school, wrapping up college, or celebrating a graduate in your family, these are the photos you’ll come back to for decades.

My approach is relaxed and fun — I want you to feel like yourself in front of the camera, not posed and stiff. We’ll find locations and looks that reflect who you actually are, and I’ll make sure the whole experience feels easy from start to finish.

An engagement session is one of my favorite things to photograph. It’s a chance for us to get comfortable working together before your wedding day — and for you to just be yourselves, without the pressure of a timeline or a crowd watching.

I’ll guide you through it, but the goal is always the same: images that feel like you, in a moment that’s entirely yours.

The ordinary moments are the ones worth saving. A toddler mid-run, the way a parent holds a newborn, the easy laughter of a family that’s just being themselves. Those are the images I love to make.

I keep sessions light and unhurried, so everyone can settle in and just enjoy the time together. You don’t need to coordinate outfits perfectly or have well-behaved kids. You just need to show up.

I’ve been photographing weddings since I was 20. While my tools have evolved over the years, my eye and approach have remained consistent. My style is classic and refined, with an emphasis on timeless imagery.

With every wedding, I challenge myself to create something fresh, thoughtful, and unexpected…moments and perspectives you don’t typically see. Weddings are familiar to everyone, so I believe the experience and the imagery should feel distinctive and personal.

I also photograph weddings on film. If that’s something you’re interested in, I’d be happy to talk through options with you.
