2016: The Year in Photos

Many are glad that 2016 is ending and I have to say I agree. It’s been a tough year for many Americans for obvious reasons and also for me personally. It was full of life changes, endings and new beginnings, and a lot of contemplation. I also moved again last spring and spent the entire summer in Chicago, re-immersing in my favorite city. Even though I’m trying to travel less, I still managed to take trips to Puerto Rico, England, Slovenia, Philadelphia, New Orleans, New York City, and Bloomington, Indiana.

Spending more time in Chicago has enabled me to take on more local clients especially with my photography. I’ve been hired by Chase and American Express for some food shoots, one of my favorite things to shoot!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the year.
