Hi there, I’m Claire!

I’m a visual artist based in Chicago, Illinois who travels often. I shoot a mix of film and digital photography and videography.

I am inspired by people and their resilience, and I love seeing how individuals interact with their environments. The various film stocks I use lend themselves to the vibrant, expressive nature and authentic, quirky textures of my photos and videos. In both my digital and film work, I lean on color, light, and movement to guide my eye.

Although capturing the moment in an aesthetic manner is central to my work, I am equally interested in making sure my clients feel seen and heard when they’re in front of my lens or communicating with me. I hope to offer an inclusive, queer and gender-affirming presence that allows you to document your relationship, brand, or event with ease and excitement.

I prefer baking over cooking, and grabbing coffee is one of my favorite ways to spend time. Day to day, I enjoy going to the movies with my partner, hosting dinner parties with friends, and crocheting at the Logan Square library. Building community is central to my work and my life, and I’d love for you to join me in this creative space.
