We shot over 110 female runners in LA & Chicago; featuring women with a variety of running experience, size & background. All were participating in the Chicago Marathon and these bus stop posters went up around the route, to the surprise of the ladies who ran past them that day. This was an incredibly inspiring shoot; working with so many strong women & hearing their stories was something I'll never forget.

This was a combination job shooting in studio & on location; half of the shoot was talent driven featuring a variety of beautiful strong women & the other half was product focused. Despite our location day starting with a downpour, the weather cleared up and we were able to end our day with some beautiful shots of the ladies outside (to the delight of the bystanders). We also had some amazing handmade props & elements created for our product shoot.

This is a sampling of two shoots done for Goose Island (Spring & Fall). Shot in iconic locations around Chicago, we had a blast running around our beautiful city with more beer than you can imagine!

This was a project created for Black History Month; celebrating the stories of three young entrepreneurs. It was hard to believe how much these young adults had accomplished! Each had a unique story from overcoming bullying to seeing a lack of people of color in literature to following a dream to design. We shot stills & videos with amazing sets designed by Luft Studio featuring pops of color & graphic shapes.

This is one of several videos created for Blue Cross Blue Shield with the idea to bring a playful, fun approach to add visual interest to the spots. Our talent even managed to master a Rubix Cube (with a little help from the internet!)

I LOVE how this came out! The Barkers really played up the kids' energies & got incredible performances out of them. It would be hard to pick a favorite, they all had unique style and really got into the percussion part of the spot.

We shot everything overhead, designed to be split-screen so it told a fun, snappy story with the circle being the consistent component. The egg crack was harder than it looks!

We shot stills & video for this new invisible aligners; we even managed to get the Barkers' puppy into a shot! We featured a real-life couple & some very convincing actors portraying doctors. I'll never forget this shoot bc it happened during the Polar Vortex (real temp of -27 degrees w/windchills of -50). The show must go on!

We had 4 sets running, 3 teams of Prop Stylists & 3 teams of Food Stylists to create these sweeping, beautiful tablescapes. Each setup had a theme featuring upwards of 15 handmade recipes & creative design to tell a cohesive story on the table. We also brought in an animator who created a stop-motion story for social media. My favorite setup would have to be the 'Bubbly Bar' setup, for obvious reasons!

We shot these print ads for Lunchables; the kids were shot on green & the elements were added in CGI afterwards. These kids had such incredible ranges of facial expression & it was hard to stop them from actually eating the crackers!

We combined beautiful high-speed footage for a high energy, action-packed spot featuring the new Sheetz Cold Brew w/talent. Casting for the hipster coffee snob & the everyday, girl-next-door was a lot of fun; we really styled them to also draw the contrast between the two. Fun fact, the director pulled my vest off of me (with my permission of course!) & it made it into the final edit!

This was a fun tongue-in-cheek concept where the ultimate Wingstop fan could order a limited edition hoodie (3 designs featured), then post an image of themselves wearing it on social to receive a giftcard. The hoodies sold out in less than an hour so I’d say campaign successful!

This was for the new packaging for Purina's Puppy Chow dog food line. We had three sets of puppies on set! There were litters of Golden Retrievers, Boxers & Shepherd mixes and they were all so cute & hilarious. It was 95 degrees this day so we had very limited time outside with the puppies & had a great trainer who ensured they were hydrated & not overworked. The kids were really patient & gentle w/the babies & it was very difficult not to want to bring home all the pups!
