Since taking my first darkroom course in the sixth grade, photography has been a passion of mine. I took that passion and threw it into obtaining my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, focusing on photographic arts.

Immediately following my graduation in 1988, I became the associate photographer for a well-known editorial photographer. At 22, I was photographing and styling home interiors and gardens for national interior design publications. My work has been published in magazines such as: House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, HOME magazine, Country Gardens, Country Living, Woman’s Day and many others. My travel photographs have also appeared two consecutive years in the National Geographic Traveler calendar.

Although I was an editorial photographer for nearly seven years, I got out of photography for about the same length of time and went into advertising. As of August 2001, I’m back into photography and have chosen wedding photojournalism as my main focus. I still have a passion for travel photography, general portraiture (especially kids) and my editorial work, but have found that I particularly love telling the story of the biggest event in someone’s life: the Wedding Day.
