Hello, I am a natural light photographer specializing in senior and teen photography. This is a recent switch in my focus. Up to this year I didn't have a specialty. I have found over the last 10 years I have a passion for working with teens and seniors. Now that doesn't mean I won't do other types of photography like families, couples, kids, etc. it just means my main focus is reaching out to seniors and teens. 

I am based out of Joliet, IL. At this time, I do not have a studio. By request I can do indoor sessions at Bird Haven Greenhouse in Joliet.

I offer year-round outdoor photography and believe it or not winter is one of my favorite outdoor seasons. Each season has something unique about it. We can talk and figure out which season and location is best for you. 

I do have a full-time job as a preschool teacher during the school year, so I only offer weekend appointments during the school year. In summer I am available weekdays and weekends and even offer a discount for weekday sessions.
