Everyday I'm thankful that I get be a local chicago videographer and have opportunities like this. Thank you to @tomgormer for having me on board to work with @simonebiles and the team who I will credit below for this shoot. This was such a fun shoot where I filmed her talking about her story as well as b-roll before and during the photo shoot to accompany the talking portion. Excited to work on more projects like this. This was such an empowering story that I hope uplifts others who hear it. Full Video is on my website in my bio!

➡️SWIPE | As a Videographer in Chicago, it’s super important to stay active on socials. To be honest, its hard to do. I took about a month off making social media posts and just relied on the work I already put in & google calls to keep things running while I logged off.I think it was really good for my mental well being, although I didn’t clock in much sleep during that process. This job is addicting, I cant stop working🤣. Anyhow- here’s the shoots I was up to while I logged off. Extremely thankful for everyone who’s had me on a shoot for them recently. It’s been real fun. Excited for the summer months of shows, music videos, interviews, small business shoots, corporate shoots and more!

Tony has passed away, and if you know the Bakers they have an incredible story. Unfortunately Tony was diagnosed with Terminal Cancer as of recent. There is a gofund me in my bio, if you can afford to donate to his end of life memorial expenses on behalf of him, @bomberspaceplane and family that would be much appreciated <3 | @brokenrobotsmusic for life!!

Being a local videographer in Chicago is seriously the best job. I wanted to say how thankful I am of each of you that support what I do even if you were just someone who reccomended me, it goes a long way. I have openings in February and March still on the table if anyone wanted to get some things on the books, now is the time. March slots usually go pretty fast, so if you want to do a shoot in March or even April let me know now!
Honestly super excited for spring and summer shoots this year.

As a videographer in Chicago, one of my favorite things to capture is live music. I had the pleasure of filming and editing @bandolier_band 's 2026 Tinydesk Entry and Im super happy with how this turned out. It was really cool seeing them transform a living room into a setting to do this performance, it was a really cozy and chill vibe and fun time working with this group! Here's a little preview of it, and the full video can be found on my website in my bio on my Live Music Tab.
