The Studio
Located in the heart of Park Ridge
Tucked away on the second floor of the iconic and historic Pickwick Theater, the studio provides clients with a boutique feel in uptown Park Ridge. The building is just steps away from NW-Line Metra and complimentary street parking. Park Ridge has a small town feel with plenty of specialty shops, beauty salons, delicious restaurants and other small businesses to enjoy. Nearby Rosemont and downtown Chicago offer even more experiences if you want to make a day of it.
The studio itself has minimalistic MCM vibes with a touch of boho and vintage. The north-facing windows offer natural light, and the multiple backdrop options provide different colors and styles for every need. Clients have access to a wardrobe that includes clothing options in muted tones and soft fabrics. I strive to give you a professional, intimate and luxury photography experience conveniently located in Park Ridge. I am here to serve not only the town itself but also the surrounding suburbs and greater Chicagoland area.
Why should you invest in a professional?
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING...
I'm not here to just take photos of you, I'm here to create timeless portraits that tell your story.
You can't go back in time to recreate those moments that you wish you could when life got too busy.

The gallery you receive will be beautiful, hand-edited images with warm-tones and subtle vintage vibes. I am more than happy to fulfill any special editing requests!
My studio offers in-house printing through a professional print lab. Whether you choose a collection or ala carte options, I ensure the quality and care go into every print, album, and fine art product.

Senior year is such a pivotal time in a young adult's life; it's when they leave the nest of familiar settings and step into the world of growth and challenges.
