My Story

My passion for photography began watching my grandfather document the world around him in his makeshift darkroom. That early curiosity evolved into a deep appreciation for visual storytelling.

Specializing in wildlife and portrait photography, I bring a patient, observational approach learned from countless hours in the field. Whether capturing a bird in flight or revealing genuine character in portraits, I believe in understanding my subjects - human and animal alike.

Working throughout Illinois and the Midwest, I create images that showcase natural beauty and human connection.

In a world where technology and artificial intelligence often pull us further from what’s real, I want my work to be a reminder of the beauty and truth that still exist all around us. Through my lens, I’m dedicated to capturing wild, unfiltered moments. The kind that can’t be manufactured, sharing them as both art and advocacy. Each photograph is not just an image, but a way of protecting the natural world by helping us see, feel, and remember what’s at stake.
