Currently, I reside on the border of Bucktown and Logan Square in Chicago, alongside my partner Jeff, my son Liam, and our little red dog Poppy. We love our time together, whether it’s cozying up for a movie night, embarking on a quest to discover the best pizza places in Chicago (our favorites being The Stop Along and the classic D’Agostino’s), or engaging in epic Uno and Monopoly games. Our little city yard, filled with overflowing planters of flowers, becomes our sanctuary during the Summer. We also love taking walks through our neighborhood and stopping at The Freeze or grabbing slushies and chicken nuggets from Parsons.

I have always been captivated by the power of photos. They have the ability to take us back to a specific moment, evoking the same emotions we felt at that time.
