Scenes from the 40th floor.

I photographed the beautiful private dining rooms at Everest, located on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange building. There was enough window light for me to do whatever I liked and it was amazing to be up so high. Photography always brings me to new places, and I love that about my job.

DJ A Cup at Paris Club

I snapped a few quick frames of a beautiful DJ at Paris Club. Gracious and talented, she made for a great subject. DJ A Cup is half of the Chicago electric group Moneypenny - check her out here.

Chicago Blizzard 2011

The snow came and went. We stood on Lake Shore Drive. We tromped around and had a lot of fun. Enjoy.

Paris Club food photography

As much as I LOVE shooting people and events, it is also exhilarating to being surrounded by beautiful food. There's so much to work with and fun to be in control of the aesthetic. Today I shot some promotional photos for Paris Club. The food here is beautiful, thoughtful and delicious. See for yourself:
