A trained musician, photographer, and artist. Jean is an award winning, published photographer based out of the Chicago area. A Part 107 commercially certified drone pilot, she specializes in aerial photography, portraits, landscape, cityscape and astrophotography.
To each session, she brings a keen attention to detail and a high level of creativity and collaboration in order to capture the spirit of the person or event.
When you schedule a photoshoot with Jean, you can expect a collection of photographic art meant to become treasured possessions. Posting your photos on social media is wonderful, but it is almost instantly forgotten. How often do you go back through your feed to look at your photos? Displaying them on your walls or in albums, however, allows you to enjoy them everyday. These are the photos that will be passed down, not the photos from your feed. The importance of printed photos is why she specifically shoots with collections and wall art in mind, knowing that you will cherish and enjoy them for years to come.
Apart from portraits, Jean’s other loves are drone, cityscape, landscape and astrophotography. Chicago is one of the best cities to photograph, during the day, and especially at night. Six months out of the year she enjoys traveling in order to chase the Milky Way. During these times, you can find her out in the middle of the night, perhaps on a mountain trail or ocean cliff, capturing the stars and creating the final artwork in such a way that draws you in. Her desire is to help people connect with the beauty of this world.
She loves teaching others how to photograph the stars too, or how to capture light trails and starbursts in Chicago, or just be able to learn your camera better so that you can capture those important everyday events that happen in your life.
Jean is a wife, and mother of three young adults. She enjoys being outdoors, hiking, adventuring, going to concerts, and spending time with family and friends.
