Client Portfolio - Fairlife

Spending several days at Fairlife’s Chicago headquarters, my team and I photographed more than 75 team members, creating professional headshots while making the experience relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable.

That collaboration grew into an opportunity to photograph Fairlife’s holiday celebration in 2025, where my team captured beautiful, candid moments of employees celebrating and making memories with their families. From professional brand imagery to heartfelt family moments.

Celebrating 50 Years of the Swedish American Museum | A Legacy of Heritage, Community & Connection

There are some organizations that do more than preserve history — they keep a culture alive, connect generations, and create a sense of belonging that reaches far beyond their walls. The Swedish American Museum is one of those extraordinary places in the heart of Andersonville, Chicago.

As the Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary, I am filled with gratitude and pride to be part of this remarkable milestone and to document the people and celebrations that make this community so special.

A very special acknowledgment to Former Executive Director Kerstin Lane and current Executive Director Karin Abercrombie for their incredible dedication, leadership, and passion for the Museum and the Swedish American community.

Special thanks goes to
Larry & Laura Ekstrom, Gold Champion sponsors of the Golden Gala and their incredible work with the museum.

The work they do to preserve our heritage, bring people together, and ensure that Swedish traditions and stories continue to thrive is truly inspiring.

Having a personal connection to my Swedish heritage makes this relationship especially meaningful. Through my photography, I have had the privilege of documenting not just events, but the spirit of a community — its people, its traditions, its history, and the connections that continue to bring us together.

It was especially meaningful to photograph this extraordinary 50th anniversary celebration at the beautiful Richard H. Driehaus Museum, a setting as timeless and elegant as the legacy being celebrated.

To everyone who has contributed to the Swedish American Museum over these past 50 years: thank you for creating something so enduring.

Grattis på 50-årsdagen! Here's to the next 50 years! 🇸🇪

For the past five years, I have had the privilege of partnering with Chicago Methodist Senior Services (CMSS) to document its annual Gala, milestone celebrations, and 125th Anniversary. An organization making a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults throughout Chicago, CMSS is dedicated to creating communities where seniors can live with dignity, purpose, connection, and compassionate care.

This past summer, I was invited to photograph Hartwell Place as part of CMSS's website rebrand. The project was especially meaningful to me because of my own family's connection to CMSS through my mom's journey.

My goal was to capture the heart of Hartwell Place—showcasing what makes this senior living community so special through authentic portraits and storytelling that celebrate the warmth, individuality, and dignity of Hartwell Place.

I also photographed the surrounding Andersonville neighborhood, highlighting the sense of community and connection that makes this location so unique.

It has been incredibly rewarding to build this relationship with CMSS and help tell the story of an organization whose mission resonates with me both professionally and personally.

For the past eight years, I have been the trusted photographer for the Swedish American Museum, documenting its most meaningful milestones, signature events, and Swedish American holiday celebrations, while also providing professional headshots for executive leadership and staff.

As someone with Swedish American heritage, my connection to the museum is both professional and personal. I bring an authentic understanding of the cultural traditions, community, and shared history that make this institution so special.

It is a privilege to preserve these moments and tell the story of a community I feel deeply connected to through my photography.

For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of photographing the annual George M. Pullman Educational Foundation Symposium and Alumni Mixers, providing comprehensive event coverage that captures the energy, inspiration, and impact of this remarkable organization.

From workshops, panel discussions, and keynote speakers to professional headshots of Pullman Scholars and group portraits, I document both the important moments and the meaningful connections that bring this community together.

It is especially rewarding to help tell the story of an organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities and supporting the next generation of leaders through scholarships.

What an incredible honor it was to photograph the Illinois Prison Project’s 6th Annual Gala at the historic Chicago Cultural Center! An evening filled with inspiring people, powerful stories, and a shared commitment to justice, humanity, and meaningful change.

Congratulations to Willette Benford and Illinois State Senator Robert Peters, this year’s Visionary of the Yearhonorees, recognized for their leadership and dedication to advancing a more equitable criminal legal system. Senator Peters has been a leading voice for ending cash bail, reducing excessive sentencing, limiting solitary confinement, and investing in communities.

Congratulations also to Larry Beaumont, recipient of the Melissa Matusak Award, honoring his contributions to the movement for justice.

One particularly memorable moment was the presentation of the first-ever “Badass of the Movement” award to Bernardine Dohrn, a lifelong champion of human rights, civil rights, and criminal legal reform. Presented by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, the award celebrated Bernardine’s enduring influence as a mentor and inspiration to generations of Chicago movement leaders.

It was a privilege to document an evening honoring the people who challenge the status quo, fight for second chances, and remind us that compassion and justice can transform lives.
Thank you to the Illinois Prison Project for the important work you do and for allowing me to capture these meaningful moments.
