Choose Your Photographer in Chicago

I'm a fun-loving, impression-nailing, smart as a whip, fun-having, caring person looking to tell stories & create memories for as many people as possible. I have a very real and journalistic style of photography, always on the look-out for those most authentic glances, the details that bring you right back to that place, and the light that you can't find anywhere else. I've shot over 50 weddings and was selected as a Bride's Choice award recipient in 2013.

My passion is to capture the moment at the click of a button. I like to do creative and candid portraits, always exploring the beauty of natural light. I know what beautiful looks like, and I can see yours. I know how to bring it forward, and how to capture it with my camera. I will give you guidance on natural posing and the confidence to feel yourself in front of my lens. I have been fortunate that my life and work has taken me to some of the most beautiful destinations across Asia, America and Europe. I love to watch and explore. As a Getty Images exclusive contributor, my photographs have been published extensively worldwide in a large variety of media. 

I'm a laid-back, experienced and versatile photographer who loves capturing images that tell a story. In my 10 years as a professional photographer I've worked all over the world and have been published in most major news and magazine outlets before I started in my current role as the University Photographer for Loyola University Chicago. With every photo shoot, my goal is to have fun with my subjects and, most importantly, make you feel comfortable. I look forward to working with you and capturing the unique beauty of Chicago!

I have spent years using my camera as a means of documenting my travels throughout the world and have since specialized in travel and lifestyle photography. I constantly strive to convey spontaneity and creatively depict narrative in my work.

I am obsessed with exploring our globe with my camera in hand. I love the color purple, crazy hats, funk music, and all things outdoors! My photography style is candid, in the moment, and has a strong emphasis on showcasing the landscape and location we are in. I stick to natural colors with a hint of vibrancy and color.

I'm Amanda and I am beyond excited you have found me, my work, and are considering me to capture your adventure! I am an avid hiker, jeep beeper, craft beer nerd, and most days you can find me planning a trip around a live concert. My photography style is all about capturing who YOU are, by keeping it relaxed, casual, and authentic. Being outdoors inspires my photography style, and I hope that it inspires you as well. You can find my work featured on "Wandering Weddings", "Wedventure Magazine", and "Photobug Community".

Hey there! I’m Christian and I am a cat, plant, and photography lover from Chicago, IL. Photography has been my passion for as long as I’ve had a passion, so naturally when I had the chance to study it in school - I did. I have both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in photography, which means I’ve studied conceptual and technical photo history extensively. I believe this has given me a keen eye for unique, beautiful, and expressive portraiture, which I would love to provide to you in our shoot together. Choose me as your photographer for a collaborative and exciting experience!

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic photographer that has an eye for aesthetics, details, and editing. Through my photography I try to encapsulate the moment and the person authentically. My style of photography ranges from bright and airy to dark and dramatic, depending on the feeling I chose to capture. I have shot for red carpet events, local businesses and was featured in the Just Water Mother's Day campaign. I have also started a blog where I showcase much of my work as I collaborate with different brands.
