Photography is more than a job or a passion, it is a mission to capture the present in forever and I am truly grateful I've been gifted with such skills and vision. With more than 7 years of experience, my focus is quality and unicity. That gave me the opportunity of working with many bloggers, artist and celebrities as the personal photographer of Michael Jackson: Sam Emerson or the journalist of the New York Times: Nick Madigan, the model and public person/ influencer with over 4m followers: Haley Kalil, etc. I worked with many designers; attended several fashion shows in Chicago and NY Fashion Week. In 2023 I have opened the most unique photo studio in Chicago named "Art on You Studio". With high education in Sciences of Communication, I can say that photography is a therapy meant to help you a lot to build confidence and start loving who you are. Some of my competitors might be cheaper, but what I am offering is not just a service, it is an experience you will never forget.

As the designated photographer friend, I’ve always had an eye for the best lighting and angles to capture amazing photos. It wasn’t until the Fall of 2024 that I decided to pursue photography professionally and start my own business. I love working with my clients to capture their true emotions and highlight their confidence. I would love to help capture your special moments!
