my story

I picked up a camera in 2009 and haven’t put it down since. I spent 10 years experimenting with street photography in Chicago. I met and worked with amazing artists and models all over the city and began doing more photoshoots and collaborations. I quickly decided that doing anything else just wasn’t an option for me. I enrolled myself into cosmetology school and began doing hair and makeup on photoshoots which led me to work in some great salons and even invited to Chicago Fashion Week where I worked with really incredible artists from all over the world. Looking back at those photos brings me back to those days and that is what I love the most about photography, we get to keep those memories forever.

In January of 2017 I enrolled in Tricoci University of Beauty Culture. I studied hair, skin and makeup, graduated and recieved my cosmetology license under the state of Illinois. I went on to apprentice at two amazing salons in Chicago where I worked under great mentors and even participated in Chicago Fashion Week for 2017 + 2018 doing hair and photography.
