Hello there!

I'm Vanessa​

My passion is for people. I truly and absolutely love what I do. I want to hear your stories, laugh uncontrollably, cry during first looks and speeches, I want to dance while you party during the reception. I want to travel to special locations that mean everything to you, near or far. Allow me to be a part of your life.

I’ve been shooting since I was seventeen, but my creativity and love of art has been with me since long before I can remember. Along with photography, I enjoy painting, singing, and acting in theatre. The travel bug bit me in 2008 and I refuse to let go! It's the best thing I can do to refresh and re-inspire myself. While I have nineteen countries under my belt, I have been enjoying the vast and beautiful landscapes of our country as well!

​I live in Evanston with my partner and our two rescue dogs, Meatball & Alma. Chicago(land) will always be "home" to me.
