History
After graduating from Illinois Wesleyan University with a BFA in art, Chris realized that he needed to find a way to make photography a career. After meeting Steven E. Gross, an established artistic wedding shooter, he decided to give photographing weddings a chance. In Chris's opinion, there is no better poetic way to capture a wedding than using black & white film and producing fiber-based prints that last generations. Chris loves working with people. He cares about them as if he's part of the family, so a natural growth from his wedding photography was family portraits. In 2006, Chris opened his storefront studio in the awesome neighborhood of Forest Park, where he now also shoots pregnancy, infants, families, and even pets. Capturing the unique character of the subject is his primary goal, and he hopes that people will count on him to be the storyteller of their lives for many years to come.
