About

When I moved to Chicago in spring 2008, I fell in love with the beauty. First with the architecture and the lake, then the neighborhoods and the details.

To show everyone back home (Atlanta, GA) what my new city looked like, I picked up my point-n-shoot and snapped away. Realizing soon enough that my old camera couldn't capture the details, I upgraded and got serious. Many afternoons and weekends were spent wandering the streets and neighborhoods, even Graceland Cemetery. Countless hours obsessing over the photographs and how to edit them. The result is this first book.

I originally started this as a gift for a friend who is moving away from Chicago. I wanted her to send her off with more than a Target gift card!

And I wanted to share, so I hope you enjoy.

Up next: to be determined!
