I believe in:

creating photographs that make you feel something unexpected,

getting to know my clients in a real way because they're the heart of every photo I take,

making mistakes,

investing in relationships and time in this community -- Chicagoland, despite how sucky our winters are -- because it just feels right

Hi, I'm Eric

 

I am a 25-year-old Midwest guy who plays slow-pitch softball, watches a little too much HGTV and has a decent hat collection. I grew up in Illinois, went to college at Marquette University in Milwaukee and now I’m back in the northern suburbs of Chicago living life as a volunteer Young Life leader, high school volleyball coach, substitute teacher and, yes, a photographer! Oh, and I just got married in December 2018!

Thanks so much for visiting my website! It means so much to me that you are considering me as your photographer. Keep scrolling; get to know me a bit, check out some of my work, see what others have to say about hiring me and get in touch to book a session or if you have any questions. Let’s do this!

I can't say enough good things about Eric or his work. He was totally calm and patient with my crazy babies and managed to capture their personalities perfectly. I am so pleased with the results and cant wait for our next shoot! Highly recommend!

Eric took my college senior pictures for me and they were beautiful! I had never taken solo professional pictures before so I felt a little weird at first, but Eric really made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He had a great vision for what he wanted the photos to look like while using my suggestions along the way. Amazing photographer, I would absolutely book him again!

Eric took our family photos and well exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone! Eric is extremely easy to work with, and very talented. How he was able to get so many great shots of our family still amazes me, considering I have a one & two year old and a “sometimes” cooperative dog. My kids really liked working with him too; he made them feel so comfortable. This was our first time using Eric, and we will continue to use him for all our family photos in the future!

Eric took our engagement and wedding pictures, and we are so happy he did!! He made everything so easy for us by telling us exactly where we should go and what we needed to do (but he also took some of our very silly picture suggestions into consideration!) He captured some great candid shots of us, which we love. On top of his great photography skills, he’s also an incredibly nice and fun person to work with, and he was great about answering any questions we had. We highly recommend him!

I hired Eric to take portraits of my sisters and I this past summer. The shoot was a lot of fun--Eric is friendly and easygoing, and he made us feel very comfortable as he took the photos. He took the time to get to know us better and find out just what we were looking for in these photos. The portraits turned out beautifully! We loved how he creatively used our individual personalities to arrange the shots and make our photos fun and unique. Ordering prints was easy and the quality of the prints is excellent. We will definitely be hiring him again!
