Inspired Chicago | Indigo & Violet Studio

There's been a short hiatus for the Inspired Chicago Feature Series over the last few months - I've taken time to think about how the feature highlights Chicago's entrepreneurial women, ways I can improve and widen the access to women who want to be interviewed, and how the feature will look going on from here. I'm happy to say not a whole lot has changed except for feeling a bit more clarity about Inspired Chicago - and what's better than clarity for creative entrepreneurs? What a way to bring back the feature than with this amazing interview with Leigh of Indigo & Violet Studio…

Featured | Interview with Preoccupied Bride

I'm so honored to be featured on my (new) good friend Maya's blog for Preoccupied Bride! It's always fun to talk to other creatives about my story of chasing my dream to become a photographer because it hasn't been a straight forward or simple path. My goals have changed along the way and I've had to adapt as I go, so it was awesome to share some advice for aspiring photographers and creative entrepreneurs for pursuing their passions...

Inspired Chicago | Hanna Lee Style

I met Hanna for the first time at Maison Parisienne (no, I don't know how to pronounce that) for coffee and immediately knew I liked her - she's one of those thoughtful people where you can see the cogs turning continuously in her head when she speaks to you, listening to your words and making connections that are wildly helpful and unique. She's seriously so smart and genuine...

Inspired Chicago | Devon Grace Interiors

I was scrolling through Instagram (like you do) when I noticed this INCREDIBLE, totally my style bathroom, so I went to the feed of Devon Grace Interiors and totally fell in love with her design style. I was so interested in her story that we met up for coffee at 3 Arts Club Cafe because I had to get to know this amazingly talented boss lady and hear about her path. Funnily enough, during our conversation it came up that she's actually very close with Kira David Design - one of the women I interviewed for the feature over the summer...

Inspired Chicago | Xo Design Co.

I've been working on this project quietly for the last few weeks and I'm SO dang excited to finally be able to share it! It's no secret that my goal as a photographer and as an entrepenur is to empower, inspire, and educate women through photography - it's the driving force behind all of my decisions when it comes to my work. Well a few months ago I came up with a wild idea as a way to connect with local women and...

Featured | Interview with Golden Boy Press

I was lucky enough to be interviewed over on Golden Boy Press about my work, my feelings on color and how they perform in photography, what I think about making people uncomfortable (hint: that's the goal), and if it's difficult to be vulnerable in front of the camera. I also go into detail about how I began photography, and my newest series on the ideas...
