Born and raised in Naperville, IL.
BFA from University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign in Photography.
I began my photo career in High School when I joined the school's yearbook class. My love for sports photography grew with each moment I stepped onto Neuqua Valley High School's football field. Getting into UIUC in the school of Art + Design was a huge step towards the career path I wanted to take. In under two years I accepted two photo jobs on campus: Daily Illini Senior Photographer and Big Ten Network Photographer.
While sports photography will always be a passion of mine, after COVID I took a step back from sports but continued to take photos and explore other subjects. During this time I found Bella Baby, Bella Baby Photography is a fresh 48 newborn photography company in the hospitals. My work here has brought back my love and passion for photography.
