American photographer in Switzerland - Chicagoan at heart

American photographer in Switzerland - Chicagoan at heart

Welcome to my website!  

So, a little more about me...

Growing up, I would find myself staring at photographs from publications such as Life Magazine, National Geographic, and travel magazines. At the time, I didn't connect my interest in photos to photography. Little did I know, I was studying, analyzing, memorizing, and building a visual library for my future career.

My passion for photography only grew with the invention of the digital camera. The immediate feedback of seeing the images on screen, and the gratification of discovering that I can create similar images to the ones that I loved as a child, brought me to my current path. Friends and family now always request that I bring my camera to all events, travel, and casual or formal gatherings, making me the principal photographer for all occasions.

Moving to Switzerland and leaving the corporate life, where I worked as a consultant and for a little known company with golden arches that sells hamburgers ;), was the perfect (or even needed) opportunity to finally listen to my friends’ and family’s encouragement, follow my heart, and pursue my passion. I invested in my education, practiced, experimented, connected with fellow photographers, and practiced some more - I went for it!


So here I am. My dream job... taking beautiful photos, connecting with people, making friends, having fun, being creative, sharing my work, and having total fulfilment when I see it all come to fruition from just one photo. And finally, seeing the same happiness it brings to my clients.
