A library of images portraying a warm and competent leader in the field of event planning.
Beth and I met at a tennis club in River Forest, and the very first assignment had nothing to do with business at all: documenting her then husband’s turn as Chicago's Hometown Hero Runner Up with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The following year came something even more personal: portraits of Beth's four children, one of my earliest explorations of children’s lifestyle photography. Family portraits and milestone gatherings followed in the years that came after.
That foundation of trust, built entirely outside a boardroom, became the reason Beth turned to me in 2015 when she launched a major personal branding campaign as a high powered personal injury attorney. I built her firm's library of executive branding images, and that same evening, documented her final address as President of the Inn of Court, one of Chicago's most prestigious legal associations. As her practice has evolved, with new partners and new chapters, she has returned again and again to keep her image current.
Fifteen years, one family, and one career: a rare, complete record of what it looks like when I am trusted to see someone fully, across every part of a life.
