"Beauty for some provides escape, who gain happiness in eyeing

the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying."

Aldous Huxley

I studied fine art photography instead of journalism in school when I came to realize that I wasn't interested in showcasing the world and all of her flaws. I wanted to show everyone how I saw the world. The beauty in the obvious as well as the hidden.

I still collaborate with Brendan Purse of Brighton Studio in Aurora, IL and Gary Chang in Hinsdale, IL. Although we all have different styles and perceptions, it's amazing how we all think the same when it comes to the final image. Our success has been largely in part due to our collaborations. Whether shooting products or teaming up to capture a wedding, we've been very lucky and blessed with our success.
