About Me


"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination's out of focus" Mark Twain
I grew up (in a small town in Illinois) listening to A.M radio and longing for the big city (Chicago). I remember when WLS radio would play a new song, I felt it was written and sung just for me. I related to and let those moments effect me profoundly. Realizing that in any moment thoughts could result in creativity, emotions and imagination can run free, and that vision can be captured.
"The concentration of the actor is what lures the
concentration of the audience." Maria Aitken
My 10 years of acting and training has given me the insight and vision of what defines a character. Techniques learned from Elaine May, Stanislavsky, Michael Shurtleff, Maria Aitken, Keith Johnstone, Del Close and Viola Spolin have become 2nd nature in "reacting" to the moment, character and script. In the moment of reaction, the organic character is born, the opportunity to capture it is now. This is the moment we work for in a photo shoot. This is why I love photography.
"What makes us laugh is the playing of one emotion immediately and unexpectedly against another." Michael Shurtleff
Photographs are an invitation, dance and stimulation of the heart and brain. As a Photographer it’s important to understand, create, and plan what is needed with each type of shoot i.e. portraits, glamour, weddings, product, family, editorial, music etc.
"You cannot see anything that you do not first contemplate as a reality." Ramtha
My photo sessions are relaxed, professional and individualized. We will speak and meet before our session to determine a direction that’s right for you. I approach each shot like a casting director. “The actor prepares", however we are in the business of reacting. During the shoot we will explore and capture the organic emotions that will separate you from the rest. Marketability is an undertone of my process.
You are the only expert for your own life.

Music:

I remember when I lived in ChiTown during college.... one weekend I saw both Dean Martin and Public Image Limited... long story short... i was raised by the radio so i love some of the most pathetic 70's love songs, a lot of depressing 80's music, and songs from the 40's... don't karaoke with me!!!! if i'm called for a three dog night song you're toast!

Three artists I can't stop listening to are Jesse Malin, Eulene Sherman, and Tommy Stinson. If you hear any of these musicians blaring out from a car it's probably me driving it and singing along... so I apologize up front for almost getting you in a wreck!
