Messy, fun, real. 🌮 Action caught right before the first bite of a delicious street taco.

Pulled this image from a recent on-location shoot with This was the kind of shoot that reminds me why I love lifestyle hospitality work. By the end, everything was a blur, but that's what happens on a fun shoot with a great team.

Perks of my job? This test shoot's subject was also dinner 🥪
I spent a Saturday sourcing, styling, and photographing this delicious turkey BLT sandwich. Wrapped. Sat down. Ate.

Some shots start with the bottle and build outward. With the Cambio Reposado, I wanted the image to feel like a piece you'd hang on a wall — so we literally framed it. The textured blue, the weathered cream frame, the raw wood pedestal, then those soft agave fronds all came together to give this beautiful bottle of reposado the still-life treatment it deserves. Grateful for projects that let me play. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! 📸 🥃

Wow, what a year to reflect on. I am so grateful for the chance to work with some amazing food & beverage photography clients & on the personal side reached some big milestones. I didn't get to all the personal projects I wanted shoot to this year, in a turn of events we had to move, a surprise, but we're still calling Chicago home. Stay tuned in 2026!

Sharing some favorite image highlights from this year with some behind the scenes on set, concerts, and our new puppy Charlie!

I know it's technically turkey recipe season but I have to share some hospitality photography work I did in collaboration with the team at CityGate Grille just outside Chicago for their website and socials. Very proud of how this tomahawk steak 🥩 turned out with the dramatic lighting and salting action by the chef!

Check out this delicious cocktail, The Mad Hatter, at Shanghai Speakeasy if you can find them! (I walked by the door a couple of times trying to find it for the shoot!) A fun moody space located in downtown Milwaukee.

Last winter, we stayed two nights in Louisville after visiting family in Atlanta. After returning, I was inspired to bake a Kentucky Bourbon pecan pie. With the this weekend I thought this would be a perfect time to share.

Oh, & yes, the pie was absolutely delicious when warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Food styling, photography, photo editing, all by yours truly.
