I want to take pictures that make you remember how the moment felt. I have always enjoyed taking pictures with polaroids, then film and now my digital camera. After working at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers I decided to follow my love of taking pictures. I live in a Chicago Bungalow with my husband and three kids. Some clients I have had the pleasure to work with have been the Chicago Tribune, Crate and Barrel, McGarry Bowen Agency, American Express, Olive Garden to mention a few.
