About Me

Hi, I’m Claire — a Chicago-based photographer who loves color, natural light, and the little things most people walk right past. Whether it’s a quiet moment between parents or a burst of laughter mid-jump, I’m always looking for what feels real, joyful, and just a little bit unexpected.

My photography is shaped by how I move through the world — with intention, joy, and a lot of care. Real doesn’t mean perfect, and some of the best photos happen in the in-between moments.

I bring a calm, thoughtful energy to every session — creating space for people to relax, be themselves, and even laugh a bunch (who doesn’t love a good pun or two?). With a background in social justice, storytelling, and cross-cultural communication, I’m always tuned in to the little dynamics that make each person, family, or moment unique.

Whether you're camera-shy or runway-ready, I’ll guide you gently and meet you where you are. My goal is to capture images that feel honest, warm, and full of life — the kind you’ll want to look back on for years.
