who's that girl?

I grew up as the girl in art classes at school, collecting “how to draw” books and loving art projects. Later on in high school I became interested in architecture, and went to school for interior design. I spent four months in Europe, lucky enough to call the great city of Rome as my home. Between my art history classes and experiencing the beauty of such extravagant cities, my inspiration for photos began to evolve into something more than just trends and poses.

GROWING UP

I’ve had 5 years to find my style. Film, music, and architecture are what inspire me most. I’m a rom-com lover who falls in love with every character, a ’99 baby who wishes she grew up dancing in the 80’s, and an an interior designer who is forever fascinated by classic architecture and ornate design. I incorporate aspects of these 3 things in my work, making my photos and stories I tell feel nostalgic & timeless, full of meaningful emotion. 

I am always noticing the way pieces of architecture create a composition, and the way playing with light and shadows can completely alter the mood. As I look through my lens I think to myself, “how would I want this to look on screen”? Do I want it to fully capture the scene? Or do I want to focus on the unnoticed details? Either way, the final gallery of each shoot I do captures it all - from the nitty gritty details to the big picture, all the photos together tell a story in a cinematic, timeless, and intentional way.

THE

INQUIRE

ciao ciao

I currently live in southwest ‘burbs of Chicago, making frequent drives and Metra rides to the city for my corporate job and photo sessions on the weekends. I love the hustle of the city - the beautiful chaos and inspiration it brings - but I also love going home to the quiet life tucked away in the suburbs. Here you’ll find me spending time with my sweet boyfriend Ian (we’ve been together for 7 years), making one too many Target runs, recording the podcast with Leah, and going out for more ice cream than my tummy can handle.
