my individual portrait visits are designed to go beyond the expected and capture the true personality of my subject, whether it be an infant, or a couple celebrating their golden wedding anniversary! the very same is true for my family portrait visits… I encourage you to choose the place you are most “at-home,” where you can relax and enjoy the experience where everyone can be just as they are!



whether that means relaxing in your home, playing with your kids in a neighborhood park, celebrating your daughter's birthday or your parent's anniversary… a family bbq, your son's football homecoming, a shopping trip with your teenager, or in your new baby's room, doesn’t matter! your own portrait visit will be as unique and wonderful as you are!



visits normally last about an hour, but can be less or more depending on the subject.

storybooks, albums and print sizes from 4x6 to 30x40 are available.



here's me: I am an award-winning photojournalist at the Chicago Sun-Times with 25 years of professional experience photographing people, with an open heart and lots of personality! I love what I do, and I especially enjoy meeting and photographing the beauty in kids of all ages. Capturing family moments at events is also incredibly special, because it allows me a chance to not only become part of that family's history, but also to record those moments for future generations!



I constantly strive to produce images that reflect the nuances of a moment with a lot of spirit and a heavy dose of personality!!
