When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually running for the trees, seeking adventure. I love hiking, camping, rock climbing, and mountain biking above most things. I also enjoy working with ceramics, creating unique pieces to add to my ever-growing prop collection.

My passion for food runs deeper than my work. With the belief that food is medicine, I love to cook and bring the same artistry to my own kitchen as I do to my photography. I eat in color, making sure every meal includes at least three vibrant hues, and I still pay attention to presentation—even when I’m cooking for just me. Honestly, I just can’t help myself!

On set, I aim to bring an upbeat energy, a calm presence, and a collaborative spirit to every shoot. I approach each project with dedication, flexibility, and a genuine love for the craft—always striving to create imagery that connects, inspires, and tells a story worth remembering.

With over a decade of experience in commercial food photography, I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty in every drip, fold, and sizzle. I take pride in the details and thrive on the challenge of bringing a brand’s vision to life.

My love for photography started at a very young age, inspired by watching my Dad work his magic behind the camera. As his frequent subject, I observed him closely and  developed a deep appreciation for photography—something that only grew stronger with time.

From then on, I was hooked! With my face constantly behind the camera, my dream has always been to make a career out of the only thing that has ever felt right. I’m grateful for every moment I’m trusted to create for clients, big or small.

Hi, I’m LM – A commercial food and beverage photographer based in Chicago.
